Description
I have a confession to make⦠I'm a sucker for quirky micro cars.While others are welcome to enjoy their sports cars, SUV's, 4x4's or minivans, I like my cars tiny, somewhat underpowered and just a little temperamental.
Recently purchased a 2006 smart fortwo and it amused me that if I applied a logical sequence to the shapes of the cars I have owned over the years, the next one would, in fact, be spherical.
Of course I had to design it and draw up my old carsβ¦.

Dont think you have too much to worry about - the world seems overrun with SUV's these days

I was just talking to my Dad the other day about sphere shaped cars, except it have more wheels and you'd stay upright with its gyroscopic center just incase you got knocked around on the roadΒ

A new car called the ELIO fits in this accurate prediction.

amazing what changing the angle of the wheels does to a drawing. You figured it out man, good work.

Thanks! Bit of angle on the tires can add a bit of character alright

I'm pretty much 6 foot and the my head touched the ceiling on the mightyboy.... but was really surprised at the head space in the smart car. As for the TBA, if it was designed so I could sit in it, you're most likely to be fine

But would the air powered engine have enough power to get up the hill I live on? I think a Peel P50 would be a good choice for a car. Cute, Cheap, economical... You could drive it indoors...

There is actually a spherical car. It parallel parks for you. And I really want that car.

I too prefer smaller cars, but these extremely tiny ones make me claustrophobic XD
P.S. I totally dig the way you drew the matiz XD

Thanks man! The smartcar is surprisingly roomy inside, but I do remember the mightyboy being really quite cramped... maybe I like smaller places
