Peugeot 888: Shape-shifting Future Car


The Peugeot 888 is billed as the "personal vehicle for the future Metropolis." For designer Oskar Johansen from Norway, that means a car with space for two with room for luggage, as well as a nifty shape-shifting body.

On the highway, the Peugeot 888 stretches itself out flat so that it's stable and aerodynamic. In the city, however, it scrunches up for easier parking.

Just to make sure it'll fit in with the eco-minded future, the 888 is powered by electric motors in each of its wheels running off lithium-ion batteries stored in the trunk, which, in turn, is covered with solar panels. Now that's some green.
