The Peugeot Capsule is a study in design from Alp Germaner of Johannesburg, South Africa. The single-seat off-road concept vehicle boasts satellite connectivity, GPS navigation, roof-mounted solar panel, and the ability to connect with other Capsules. Side mirrors are displaced by external cameras and live video LCD displays.
Germaner was inspired by his KLR 650-A motorcycle, which “is known to be a reliable mule that inspires people to ride out and explore.â€
Implications - It doesn't take an auto enthusiast or connoisseur to see why this is so special -- a vehicle built to the specifics of the highest technological advances available. The concept of an off-roader built based on a motorcycle best used for exploration? You have a winner on your hands.
