The CRK Comet is Inspired by Jet Fighters
Michael Hines — December 4, 2011 — Autos
There’s a very good chance that personal transportation of the future will look something like the CRK Comet. The CRK Comet is a single-seat podcar designed by Brent Carter. The car is designed for urban commutes at slow speeds.
The knock against many futuristic EVs like the CRK Comet is that they are too small and not fun to drive. The CRK Comet is definitely small, but size isn’t really an issue when you are only transporting yourself across town. The Comet may not win a drag race, but its small size could be good for finesse drivers who prefer zipping in and out of traffic as opposed to racing from light to light. The fact that parking and gas would never be an issue again are also two big pluses in the CRK Comet’s column.
