Every once in a while there comes an idea that promises to change the way we see the world forever. And since the automobile still counts as one of the greatest inventions of the modern world, we thought we’d acquaint you with three designs which should have made it to our daily lives a long while back but unfortunately couldn’t replace the family wagon.

The Rinspeed Splash

This one that came from Swiss car-tuning and restoration company Rinspeed is actually a hybrid. It both a hydrofoil and an automobile which means it has a good chance of winning a triathlon if they ever had one for cars! Though it looks a little flat under the bonnet with a two-cylinder, 750cc turbocharged engine which is only compensated by the fact that it weighs only 825kgs and can speed upto 0 - 60 in 5.9 seconds on land and 45 knots in the water! I wonder why they didn’t make more of these!

Peel P50

Now here was a design that could have prevented a whole lots of drunk fist fights over parking near nightclubs. At 53 inches long and 39 inches wide, the 59 kg P50 is the ultimate space saver and parking assistant’s dream come true. If this design had really been considered for popular use, then not only would it have encouraged people to maintain their weight to be able to fit into the car, it would also save us all a lot of parking heartache. With a 49cc, 4.5 horsepower engine that gives a top speed of 30mph, the Peel P50 would not only prevent traffic deaths but since it gives 100 miles to the gallon, it might just have prevented a few wars in the last century as well!

Caparo T1

Now this one looks a more likely candidate to be considered in the supercars list simply by its racing-inspired body! The T1 is an all-muscle hunk with a 3.5-litre V8 engine giving 575 bhp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Since it weighs only 470kg, it can accelerate from0-60 in 2.5 seconds, and 0-100 in just five seconds but you cannot go slow at all because then it wont generate enough downforce to stick to the road! Do I look like I’m complaining about that?
