The Citroen CCrab is the concept car for everyone who has ever tried and failed to squeeze their car into a tight parallel parking spot. This car was designed by Juha-Pekka Rautio and was inspired by, you guessed it, a crab. Where this car differs from other crab concepts (there are a lot more than you think) is that each of its wheels can move independently.
Having wheels that could move independently would make even the tightest of parking spots a joke as one would only have to turn all of their wheels straight into the curb and slide on in. The Citroen CCrab has been designed to seat three -- two comfortably -- and looks to be right-side drive. You can check out is crabby concept car in all of its glory here.
