Mazda Kaan concept.

[qwick]

The Mazda Kaan is an electric race car designed to compete in the E1 races, the pinnacle of international motorsports in terms of technology and popularity

"Mazda’s patented electronic tire system uses this technology to power the KAAN to reach 250 mph with no harmful emissions!"
explanation: As the car starts to move it draws power from the rotation of the "tire" and transfers it to the individual wheel motors.

Weird......

[browningboy7]

The back view looks like dudes head from Alien

[noridetoolow]

maybe it turns like a tank. One of the front wheels stops or rotates in reverse dependant upon the turn?? That would turn the front...maybe one of the rear wheels does the same as an assist? Either way...its cool... we will figure out a way to lower it more though! :lmfao:

[Mr. Clean]

how the hell does it turn..

x2 that's exactly what i was thinking while i was looking at it.

:EDIT: did a little research. this is just a rendering. it will only work if the surface of the road is resurfaced and provides the tires with its electricity. each wheel is like a fan motor. the center is charged and turns the "wheel" around a barrel.
