City Car
The City Car’s variable qualities are suitable for both, in and out of city environments.
The two-seater City Car is also a solution for parking problems in densely built cities. The variable distances between the front and the rear axis and the 180° turn of the rear wheels make the car suitable for city circumstances. Out of the city the axis distances can be expanded, giving it a low centre of gravity and low air-resistance allowing higher velocity to be reached. In urban areas, with shorter distances, a higher driver position is achieved that enables a wide and safe view for the driver.
The ability to make the car shorter and taller is also an enormous help when parking.
The structure of the City Car gives it a unique look as well as practical and economical values.

Finding of the Jury:
This concept integrates a unique folding mechanism that achieves a smaller foot print for the auto as well as integrating a rear wheel mechanism that allows for a 90° rotation for exceptional mobility in parking situations. The design communicates “easiness” and “lightness”. The jury found the concept to be a good base for further discussion about city traffic or transportation and the future of personal mobility.
Further developments in safety, weather protection and storage should be addressed.
