Default BRB Evolution Folding Car Concept





BRB Evolution Folding Car Concept

There are many concept cars around today thanks to the way technology has spread its wings to help even the most simple of innovators give shape to their ideas. There are also many concept cars that are around which will hopefully one day hit the road as they seem to be a wonderful alternate to the available models filled with green features and loaded with design improvements that really are of great use in everyday life. The modern car design is function specific and most often targets a certain sect of the consumers in a very astute fashion so as to ensure that it carves a niche for itself. The BRB Evolution is for the eco-conscious consumer who hates to spin around in circles for a parking lot. In other words- it is for all of us!


The BRB Evolution is a very interesting concept apart from the name itself which is pretty nice if you ask me. The BRB is a car designed to free you up from parking hassles and to reduce the energy consumed by all those parking lots by reducing the parking space. The car jacks up on its nose and with that simple step it saves up on 50% of the normal parking space taken up by a similar sized car. Inspired by Peugeot 908 and Lamborghini Murcielago the BRB is a masterpiece carved for modern city commuter.

because parking is that hard to find...? i could even find parking in metro tokyo via POI on navigation but its just expensive. and you have to get into a parking spot first, which I assume you can't get into one when youre folded up because the front wheels arent touching the ground.

and BRB...Be Right Back?

yeah. how does that work? you're front bumper would be scraped up/ scratched to hell because the front wheels dont touch the ground.

Do they honestly believe they are going to reduce the acreage of parking lots and reduce energy demands? Pretty bold statement!

I like the concept of the folding car. But not so sure about this design.

if you lived in europe and paid upwards of 300k for a parking space, i'm sure you wouldn't be making these types of comments.
