The Ecomobile is a weird looking car manufactured by the Swiss company Peraves. The designing idea of the car surely emerged from an aeroplane, as the car looks similar to cockpit of an aeroplane. This is an unusual car, which has a motorcycle enclosed in it. The Ecomobile is powered by a 4 cylinder BMW K series motorcycle engine, which is mounted at the rear of the car. The car has three tyres and has distant similarities with the Indian auto rickshaw. The Ecomobile has leather covered seats and occupies two. It has a speed of 202 kilometres per hour.

The Jeep Hurricane was first unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in 2005. The Jeep has a monocoque body and is the most powerful 4x4 ever built. The Hurricane does not have any side doors or a roof and the car accommodates only two people. The Jeep Hurricane has two engines. It is available with two 5.7-liter HEMI engines; one is in the front and the other in the back. The Jeep emits a total of 670 horsepower and has a fully controllable 4-wheel steering. The Jeep is a light weight car, which is made up of light-weight carbon fibre. And the components of the vehicle such as the suspension, transmission, and engines are mounted directly on to the body of the Jeep. And it is the skid plate that connects the chassis of the car to its underside.

This is a highly futuristic car which in most probability will not be available in the car market. The car has been featured in Steven Spielberg’s movie featuring Tom Cruise as the central cast. The movie is a science fiction and it speaks of the world in 2054. The car was thus build by Lexus for the movie. It is a high performance two-seater sports car. The car has an extreme cab-forward seating and the wheels are been spaced out to each corner. The weird proportions of the car make the onlooker confused that he will not be able to understand which is the front or the rear at the first glance.

The high tech features of the Minority Report Lexus include a dent-resistant carbon composite body panels, 'heads up' display with night vision an organic recognition, laser guided cruise control, voice and gesture controlled computer system, body conforming bucket seats with automatic heating and cooling, retractable solar body panels for recharging and interior climate control during parking, DNA recognition entry and ignition system, rear view video camera, and an 'auto valet' system which drops the owner off and then recharges its batteries using the solar panels. Truly amazing, isn’t it?

The Tango T600 is an electric car that is being manufactured by Commuter Cars. The car is tall but it is only 102 inches long and 39 inches wide.
