"Nimbus" – last time we checked the dictionary, that's the name of either a large gray rain cloud or a sort of halo effect around a supernatural being. Strange as it might seem, that's actually a perfect name to give to a vehicle that can go anywhere on the planet. Because what better way to say "go anywhere" than to name your 4x4 after a cloud.
Looking like a deep sea diving machine from one of Jules Verne's books, the Numbus e-Car is a concept electric car designed by Brazilian Eduardo Galvani from Hemisferio Criativo. He really showed outside-the-box thinking with his work, which reminds us of an old Volkswagen Bulli because of its bubble-like shape.
It might look like a Volkswagen Camper bus, but its designer wants it to be as nerdy and futuristic as a steampunk airship. The Numbus is a concept e-car designed with a rear-mounted hybrid engine that powers a lightweight structure made with carbon-fiber and aluminum. Supposedly, it packs four different driving modes, adjustable seats and a variety of storage compartments.
As strange as they might look at first, the wrap-around windows give perfect visibility and an airy. The Nimbus comes with Wi-Fi, 4 USB ports and a 12-volt power outlet, so your gadgets are going to be well taken care of. Its 1,620 kg (3570 lbs) of weight can reach a top speed of 130 to 160 km/h (80 to 100 mph) and tops the first 100 km/h marker in 13 seconds.
