ONE DAY…
Who: Zaha Hadid Architects
What: Z-Car
Where: Read about it on Zaha Hadid’s site.
When: We’d hope sooner, than later.
GG Certified: Zaha Hadid Architects build and design more than just building structures. “The Z-CAR [by Zaha Hadid] is a two-seater city car with a three-wheel base.” It uses Hydrogen for energy, the inclination of this passenger pod is speed adjusted, it requires less parking-space because of its shortened wheelbase, and the body consists of lightweight carbon-fibre composite with a large asymmetric door hatch giving the passengers a panoramic vision. We’ve never seen a cooler concept car.
