Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Futuristic City Commuter

For you and me, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is probably a magical car in a children’s book that Ian Fleming (James Bond creator) wrote almost half a century before or just a funny name, but for designer Adam Palethorpe it’s an eco-friendly city vehicle concept. Keeping away from the aero-engined racing cars from the past (that inspired the story), the new Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a futuristic city commuter meant for the green-minded.

The two-seater vehicle runs on an electric motors, only packs the bare-essentials and features a bunch of eco factors including solar cells on the roof, a regenerative braking system and options for harnessing wind power. A viable solution that would produce fewer toxic emisssions, the new Chitty Chitty Bang Bang city commuter seems to be fun to drive and easy to park.
