Luckily, I can read microscopic French. It says: "Unfinished. Waiting for rear axle."

I can't tell if you're being serious...

LOL @ Mr. Gumsandals

I get it... The back is missing. They didn't finish the back cover on the rendering where that metal grill-like thing is. If you look at the art sketch, it shows you.

There's nothing in the microscopic French to justify how the wheels work. I guess you're supposed to think that in 2037 you won't need the wheels to connect to the car anymore. Because it's the future! And in the future the wheels will be connected by dark matter! And nevermind that the whole car could just as well float then!

Honestly, when a designer has to abandon the laws of physics to make his design pop, I'd call him incompetent, but that's just me and I might be in a bad mood tonight.

Has anyone thought about that maybe the tail section could be like a huge (shieded) electro-magnet? I mean, it just make sense. That is how the back stays up and keeps the wheels from rolling away.

lol @ garoo

@ mdell8
That was my first thought as well.

That could Be a cool concept but the design is not that great i feel so,its to featuristic may be in 2037 that would be cool, but whatever they do safety matter most.

I have a car with no rear axle, too, and it is very similar to this one. They both don't work.

Actually, it wouldn't be that hard to make a car like this and it wouldn't violate the laws of physics at all.

It would just be the biggest energy waster ever built.

you know 50 years ago we use to think cars will will be in the skie and we will have robots that can think like human bing may be this is just anouther one of that kind of thinking or maybe not.

seems to me the only way this could work is with magnets holding everything together, but that doesnt seem like it would be very efficient... or someone messed up and sent out the wrong picture instead of a picture of the finished concept... who knows...

After reviewing the sketches and noting that the power source is an electric engine,I'd have to hazard the guess that the rear 'axle' is going to based on an electro-magnetic field.I personally would hate to be in the thing traveling at even 40mph when the power shuts down.

i think it's a 2 part process.
1) hovercraft-type fan to keep the rear end of the car off the ground and push it around like a giant wheelbarrow
2) magnets to pull the just-for-show rear wheels along.

Hmph... look close at the photo.

You can see the lines in the asphalt where they used the Photoshop cloning tool to delete out the suspension. Poorly at that.

Not impressed....

Guys, its a french car... they aren't SUPPOSED to run. Haven't any of you ever driven one? They are a joke. =P

I like this blog and whole post on blog such a cool and great I love this blog

They just made the rear axil invisible using the latest cloaking technology.

How does the rear work, and more importantly, why.

Gerry,
Thank you for stating the obvious!!

it's simple enough...the two rear wheels are attached under the two rear cowlings.
Therefore, no axle required........what's all the fuss about?

I guess if you get carjacked the hood can eject from the vehicle and break their ankles and a rush of air can push them away(note arrows from under hood)

The rest of you have it arse-backwards.

This car has no FRONT AXLE. You hold each wheel with your hands.

WOW what a really weird and non sense design; BUT HEY IT IS JUST ART. You have technology that can do that - no axle; WHY USE WHEELS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Hey Holy tractor beams scotty; hold it together...LOL..

Ostensibly this is possible- you've never seen magnetically suspended objects before? - but it would be prohibitively complex.
In any case, the concept art clearly shows a rear axle- either the rendering is a mistake, or perhaps the rear axle incorporates metamaterials to conceal it from view.
The latter idea is pretty extravagant for something decorative, but then, isn't that the point?

Hey, the FRENCH designed this car! That means it would go at an amazing zero mph, it has a fruity fuzzy interior, and is completely overpriced. But you gotta admit, it would look good in a video game!

Talked my sister into buying a Simca once because it was small and economical. Thankfully I was driving it when the axle and wheel came off going around a corner. Now I know it was just ahead of its time. Hey, after all they brought us the Peugeot, that other bastion of style and quality.

Oh, my delightfully racist Amercian friends. If you must lambast this car for merely being of French design then may I suggest something like: It'll have 6 gears. 1 forwards and 5 reverse.'

It does appear though that it reads 'the electric engine and wheels are integrated' So like most cars then.

"democratsarefascists" ????? I hope this moronic handle was done tongue-in-cheek...

nice pix i fink if u hurry up and make them 4 real then ppl wont have to look for petrol because its killing our planet green peace

i think the car"s wheels are surported and rotated by a massive magnetic shield.it repoltion may work like that of your shaving machine. if not i sugest he is an alien !.he got that technology from another planet.

he is from octapia a planet where wizards make cars .and their designs are abducted from 3 year old childs brain
