Ultra-Sweet Volvo Tandem Car
By John Coyle
Editor
Volvo has stated that its goal is to completely eliminate accidents in the future. But if the ridiculously hot Tandem Car becomes a reality, other drivers might be too captivated to pay attention to the road. The passenger in the two-person vehicle would ride behind the driver—like in a jet fighter—which would allow for an extremely narrow profile, and obviously, the car would be designed to be hyper-efficient. While this looks like something you’d expect to see in a showroom in say, 2079, the team at Volvo’s Monitoring & Concept Center have said they’re aiming to release it in 2010. While I don’t think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell they’ll actually make that goal, I’d love to see these become a reality. More info over at Dvice.

“Ridiculously hot”?? Are you kidding? I don’t like the looks of this at ll – sorry but it looks to me like the designers have been watching too many movies like “Speed Racer”.

Some things are hard to improve upon. I feel that way about more conventional body proportions and functions of cars. I just think they need to get a lot more clean and efficient. Stuff like this is definitely cool but I doubt it’ll catch on at least not in the forseeable future.

I also have serious doubts about the lateral stability of something like this.
