From the same man who designed the Renault 16, Phillippe Charbonneaux came up with a concept and revealed it at the 1992 Paris Auto Show. The most unusual thing about it is the wheel layout, with 2 in the middle and one at each end! The front and rear wheels used to steer the car could almost turn on its length. The reason is it would make it easier to navigate narrow busy streets.
With the wheels being set out in this way, it lent itself to the streamlined shape, which was sold as a benefit as in a collision with pedestrians, they would be deflected to the sides! This was only a model; moving forward to 1997, Franco Sbarro (a bongers/inspirational car designer) took shape and turned it into a working car, with a three-seater layout and powered by a six-cylinder Porsche engine hung out back.
