Bionamic concept car merges solar energy with nanotube super-strength

Bionamic concept car merges solar energy with nanotube super-strength

In a world where our sneaker designs are outpacing our car designs in terms of futuristic style, designer Güney Kol decided to create a concept car that appears to be heavily influenced by the world of sports shoes. Dubbed the Bionamic, the car would be electrically powered and travel the streets covered in carbon/metal nanotube metal alloy.

The car would also be efficiently swathed in a blanket of tiny solar cells allowing it to charge whenever idle during the daytime. Finally, as if the concept car was geeky enough, Kol does away with a steering wheel and instead gives us joysticks to operate the vehicle. Let's hope the big boys of the auto industry are paying close attention.
