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.

The only thing we’re concerned about is how aerodynamic is the whole setup.

Definitely aimed for the young, we wouldn’t mind taking it for a spin to the grocery store – it certainly has space for a couple of six packs.
