I really like this bus. Reminds me more of a modern VeeDub bus other than the one that VW came up with a few years ago.




Mitsubishi EZ concept

This is a kind of next step from the new 'i', developed by Mitsubishi's European studio. The monobox design comprises a simple yet well-resolved theme that also showcases the new MIEV electric drivetrain technology using in-wheel motors. The design is anchored by a lower half finished in matte silver, topped by a body finished in pearl white with a strong flip to it. The body color loops around the headlamps and taillamps at each corner and is punctuated by a graphic horizontal band of side window sandwiched between wrap-over screens at front and rear. Clever details include doors mirrors looped out from the A-pillar, blocks of nine LEDS in headlamps and taillamps and tire treads showing the tourist sites of Europe such as the Eiffel Tower, Tower Bridge etc.

Inside, seats fold forward to link up to the IP and create a complete ring around the interior, to allow two people to lounge and watch DVDs in the tailgate-mounted screen. Many designers commented favourably on this car, seeing it as a classical piece of European design that's full of really neat details.

 

 

it's a shame mistu is leaving the north american market , well kind of.

 

I would deffinately rock that. The nuber one reason I love the Xb is because it reminds me of a VDub bus so much.

 

is it coming or going?

 

i remember hearing about those in-wheel motors a while back. i don't know that i'd care for those myself.

 

MIEV sounds pretty nice. Seems like alot of work if you want to change your brake pads though

 

that makes engine mods obsolete.

 

Where do you put the intake? Jk, but as long as there is something that moves, we'll find a way to make it move faster. In fact, if it is just a motor in the wheel then gearing could be upgraded to improve accelertion, or all out speed (like XMODS).
