Toyota I-Real one-ups the Segway

Posted in Cars, Concepts, Personal Transport by Conner Flynn on October 10th, 2007

Toyota I-RealThe segway is just a scooter compared to this. Toyota has a new concept car called the I-Real. Aside from “Minority Report” futuristic good looks, it’s made of lightweight carbon fiber reinforced plastic and even sports operating controls in the side arm rests, rather then using an outdated device known as the steering wheel.

Apparently it can reach speeds up to 18.6 miles per hour. And just like any futuristic vehicle should, it goes from an upright position to a reclined position when it hits High-Speed Mode. At the moment it remains just a concept, so for now the Segway is safe. But it’s days may just be numbered.

    even i would ride a wheelchair that could nearly hit 20 mph!

    I like the idea, or the concept, but it is too abstract to actually make people buy it sooner than later. Maybe a redesign of the outlook should give a better shot for this concept car, but total I think it would be perfect and great!
