More than a simple karting

008 Though karting being a kind of recreational racing is popular enough among young people and adults, it is not considered a good thing when someone says that your car looks or drives like a go-kart. The reason for this is that generally go-karts do not possess any outstanding technical characteristics, still it's a great fun to ride one. However transportation designer Florian Dobe can doubt the truthfulness of given stereotype with his little concept.

The gadget he managed to create can be regarded both as a sportscar and as a go-kart. Although its dimensions are of a go-kart (for example, it has tiny 10" rims), its technical characteristics are much more decent. The concept has been created with two distinct "states" in mind, an open and a closed one. The open state represents a 2-seater sportscar mode; in the closed state the seats fold seamlessly into the body to create a sculpture (sculpture mode). In addition to this given concept has a detachable steering wheel, so it is very easy to rebuild the gadget for right-hand drive. Moreover from each side there are visible springs with adjustable compression that is used to rebound damping.

So what do think about such a go-kart? Yet there is another very
important advantage that should be mentioned. Its design is so wonderful and stylish that the concept looks like a car of the future. I believe that the great majority of you already want to try it, however we are to wait a little until it will appear.
