For those family men and women out there who cannot justify the purchase of a hot little sports car, take a look at the Dolphin concept car. Unfortunately, it does not exist "in the flesh" at this point, but it was the third winner of the 2013 Michelin Design Challenge.
There are two rows of seats in this sleek and speedy automobile, accommodating four people quite comfortably. As the driver races contently through vast landscapes, all passengers can appreciate the view through the generous strips of windows. The rest of the body is clad in carbon fiber, making the vehicle durable and lightweight. With its low profile and clean lines, the Dolphin concept car by Gao Zhiqiang, Liu Shun and Chen Zhilei would cut through the air like a whale glides through water.
