Nick-
The concept is out of Germany and/or Netherlands, I don't think anything is being built yet, who knows, looks computer simulated. I love the design, but could you imagine building all the roads for the thing, especially in Europe, where most turns need parabolic mirrors and where volkswagons have problems with corners. Nice dream.

Interesting........ to say the least. But, I LOVE concept stuff. Like Einstein said,"Imagination is more important than knowledge".
You raised an interesting question for me Nick, What defines a "bus"?? I guess I just always figured I knew one when I seen it. ::)

I don't know if THAT is a bus or not, I dod know if I saw if coming at me I would RUN like HELL!LOL
It's kind of difficult to think what the logic is behind this concept; it seems to be just an alternative to the very common 'luxury minibus' vehicles that take executive types from the airport to their hotels and so on. The speed issue ('capable of 155mph' etc) is a nonsense as speed limits mean it could travel no faster than the aforementioned minibuses; I can only assume there might be a demand for it for the snob value.
Looks like a solution looking for a problem to me.
