The V2G Automobile Brings Out The Cautious Speed Demon In Me

Aside from looking like a giant crustacean, this concept Vehicle-to-Grid (aka V2G) automobile seems like it would perfectly satisfy those who crave the maneuverability of a motorcycle, yet can't abandon the protective frame of a car. Plus it looks super-duper-speedy.

The building is made up of 14,000 equilateral triangles. Some are solar panels, some are windows, others just fill out the structure.
