What you all are quite familiar with are vehicles like snowmobile that provide enough traction so that you don’t slip over. Now here is the ultimate.
The machine pictured above is called the Hyanide and has been designed by some German designers for the 2006 Michelin Challenge Design.
The machine has been designed to run on flexible rubber tread that covers the entire underside of the machine. The tank like tread consists of 77 segments that are made of hard plastic and covered with tire rubber. The entire system is held together by Kevlar rope. This setup provides the traction and also help it corner like no other vehicle.
To steer the monster you not only have to use your hands but also the feet. You have to wear specially designed footwear that can snap onto the pedals like a super bike.
The designers have no plans to release this to the public but considering the response these designers are getting from the auto makers we can well see it some time in future so keep your fingers crossed.
On the engine side you will find a 60hp, 500cc liquid-cooled engine that can make the machine reach speeds up to 85mph.
