From the page: Looking more like a sled, the "Feel" by French designer Thomas Boulanger is an electric car designed to provide a safe and sustainable means of commutation on cramped city roads. Inspired by simulators and video games, the concept car changes its shape (from horizontal to vertical) to adapt to the stress of city traffic. Controlled by a rotary electric actuator located under the armrest, with a touch of hands the vehicle integrates its breaking system at the end of the left armrest and the accelerator on the right. The electric car by the French designer not only allows the thrill of sledding on the road, but its touch controls ensures a safe and comfortable ride. Check out the video after the jump.
