Freeze Me Now and Thaw Me in 2054
Because if Venezuelan designer Carlos Agell is right, we all could be driving cars with laser gyro-stabilization and liquid metal bodies.
Actually, it doesn't seem too far fetched. The best shape for a car would be a circle or a sphere of sorts. After all, it is inherently the strongest shape (provided it's made up of triangles) and offers the best mass : volume ratio. I only have one question for Agell. Please tell me more about this liquid metal you speak of. I'm totally fascinated.

Hey! thx for comments, the liquid metal stuff is indeed the less futuristic of all specs, its a material its been used nowadays for several things ( check http://www.liquidmetal.com/ ) .

Carlos Agell
