If yesterday was the day for custom made vehicles enlivened from the bygone era, today’s day is more about concept vehicles which would potentially define automobile technology in the decades to come. Hyper Car was one such vehicle which came into existence almost twenty years back courtesy of a genius known as Amory Lovins. A genius because he could think of a vehicle that cuts down heavily on fuel consumption at that point in time and more so because scientists are still busy taking cues from the Hyper Car’s functional aesthetics. There was even an SUV version of the Hyper Car that surfaced in 2000 and the principles that helped it cut down on consumption are also being vividly put to use. We’ve now heard the Toyota is developing a commuter based on the Hyper Car and this could be the perfect reward for Lovins farsighted thought.
