If you thought the 6x6 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG was a radical off-road vehicle, then you should take a look at what Dong Man Joo has envisioned for… National Geographic's photography team.
Unfortunately, unlike the 6-wheeled Mercedes-Benz, this all-terrain concept car, called ZAIRE, won't get to see the light of day anytime soon. There's a chance that some of us won't get to see it at all, as the ZAIRE was imagined for the year… 2035.
According to its creator, this supposedly unstoppable all-terrain vehicle was designed to offer "a steady ground transportation system" for up to five people. With its unique "transforming magnetic wheel system" and Volkswagen-designed chassis, the ZAIRE can be driven at extreme angles while remaining almost horizontal.
"The vehicle is based on an innovative mechanism, as it possesses both frequency abilities and previous wheel mobility. Since it heads towards the hexagonal direction of greenhouse, it has been designed so that more diverse directions can be filmed. In addition, it has been designed in the way that it possesses spacious interior space with very wide left-and-right body and safe un-turning position," its designer said.
One question Mr. Joo, why 2035?
