Volkswagen Slipstream Is Mix Between Car, Segway and Star Trekish Pod

VW_L.jpgThe Slipstream is Volkswagen's idea for transport in 2057: a pod that changes from futuristic car on the road, with the driver laying down, to Segway-like vertical transport in a cities so overpopulated that normal cars would be absolutely impossible. Much more agressive than the current Toyota i-Real concepts, the Slipstream can reach 250mph on the highway, using just two wheels and wings to make the tail section float like a plane. Next: Reed Richards presents the Fantasticar retrofitted with anti-matter engines from the Negative Zone.

If this is the future, I am holding on to my 72 Datsun 240z. People in this "vision" are carted around like sardines in a coffin that looks like a giant sperm with two wheels. However, the young ladies look hot in their skin tight silver outfits. Because in the future, there's only silver skin tight outfits. Woo Hoo!
