Volkswagen designers create futuristic Nanospyder concept

A team of highly creative Volkswagen designers based in California have unveiled their own unique take on the future of modern transportation. The result is the Volkswagen Nanospyder. Futuristic nanotechnology supported by hydrogen fuel cells, solar power, wheel-mounted electric motors and inflatable organic body panels combine to form the unusual shape of the two-seater concept.

Nanospyder is the work of a team of three young designers – Patrick Faulwetter, Daniel Simon and Ian Hilton - based at the Volkswagen Design Center in Santa Monica. They created the Nanospyder in response to a challenge laid down by ‘Design Los Angeles’, a conference set to take place at the upcoming Los Angeles Motorshow in November. The brief – unlike the solution – was simple. To design a vehicle able to make the most of California without harming the environment.

How old is Chewy?

Chewy, are you old enough to realise that Volkswagen and Audi are not the only manufacturers in the world?

I mean, that concept looks silly. You only like it because it is a VW, even though, ironically, it was designed in America.

This should immediately be marketed by Audi as a future Lexus competitor.
