A street smart car for the city streets!


Modern automobile designs are all about maximizing space and minimizing fuss by making it function specific. It aims at solving specific consumer problems rather than shoving plenty down out throat in a cumbersome package. It is all about being street-smart in your design and the Capca is exactly that ad a lot more. This all about travelling across the city on a daily basis with little to absolutely no fuss and doing so in simple and ergonomic fashion.

Inspired by nature this petite design can function as a recharging station, solar energy storage batteries and an oxygen generator. The glasses of the car are made of transparent solar batteries and has a transparent monitor built into the windscreen. The car is equipped with sensors and panoramic view cameras, with navigation and auto-parking systems. The electro-engines are located in the back wheels and what takes this car a mile ahead of the other ones is its unique feature of making itself small when the wheel-engines are shifted together during parking.


There are also two accumulators in the car, the first for a chassis and the second for electronics with maximum speed being 90 km/h. The fuel distance at one battery charge is approximately 180 km; full charge time from solar batteries is approximately 10 hours under average sun activity. The Capca is all about sense, simplicity and space and it achieves its goals with elegant ease.
