The 1008 is a lean, strong and muscular car developed by David Veldkamp for Peugeot. The car has been made keeping Peugeot’s heritage in mind.The car, which can easily be transformed into a motorcycle by removing its roof and the side windows, runs on an electric powerhouse that makes it a silent, zero emission vehicle.
The 1008 has a compact design to minimize the resources required. The body has been made from ecofriendly materials like biodegradable foams and fabrics. The car has one big wheel running across the body frame and two small wheels at the rear end.
When the car is being driven at slow speed, the rear wheel kicks into action, stabilizing the car, but if you are driving this beast on the open highway, the rear wheels retract and the big center wheel gives it all the speed and efficiency. On high speeds the gyro controls stabilize the car and prevent it from falling over.
The car is proficient enough to reach a top speed of 100 mph and a range of 300 km.
The Dark Side:
The car makes the driver depend on gyro controls for safety at high speeds. If anything does go wrong in the gyro controls at 100 mph, the car would wobble and there would not be enough time left for the driver to regain control over it.
