Volkswagen Aqua Concept Car Design, Finally The Future!

Even though it is a concept car, it looks like the cars I grew up believing that the cars of 2000, would look like. It took a Chinese
Xihua University, 21 year old graduate in Industrial Design,
Zhang Yuhan, to design this master piece.

In China there are areas of rough terrain, that requires a different mode of transportation than what we are accustomed to in the U.S.A.. The CDN China Car Awards were sponsored by Volkswagen to challenge young designers to do just that. This did not win, but it was a finalist. I personally think Volkswagen would sell quite a few of these gems.

The power plant is a hydrogen fuel cell, with extra boosters for more power when needed. The hovercraft travels over any terrain, water and snow. In the "Back To The Future" movies, Marty asked, There's not enough road to get up to 88 miles an hour! Doc replied, "Roads? Where we're going we don't need any roads!"
