Definitely a new concept in the automotive industry... and more definitely a new alternative energy to move us around. This is a human-hybrid vehicle, which, by packing an entire health club inside a car, your training, not only helps you staying fit, but allows you to move around.

How does this work? Well... in theory quite simple. The car packs inside it popular gym equipment like a step machine, rowing machine, bench press, pull-up simulator and weights, all within the car's discrete dimensions. While training, the car charges batteries which will then power the four electric motors located in the wheels. Quite an interesting concept I must say.

This car was designed by a Coventry University (Britain for those of you who don't know ) as an idea for a competitions sponsored by P4 Cad Cam, a creative design consultancy and model-making company in England.

The exterior of the car is not humble either. Reminding of a hybrid between an F1 car, the bat-mobile and an F-117A stealth fighter, the designer (Mr. Feng) stated he came up with this design inspired by World War II fighter planes.

What isn't as yet clear is if you can exercise while driving... which could be dangerous, as it would seriously inhibit your ability to steer... and even to see the road ahead (figure - bench pressing and driving). However, the car can provide a good distraction, and something useful to do in traffic jams. For those that are about to dart away and amend their Christmas wish lish, first we must wait and see if this car will ever make it to production.
