Pivo2

Speed: 75 mph (120 km/h)
Range: 78 mi (125 km)
Availability: 2011

The Pivo 2 is more advanced than its amusement-park-ride exterior lets on. Set to debut in 2011, it will offer state of the art features not available in any other current EV concepts. Aimed at the "young, city-based, professional woman," the Pivo 2 has an onboard robot that purports to soothe angry drivers in dense traffic, a fully rotating cabin that keeps the driver facing the direction of travel, and wheels that can turn 90 degrees, forever eliminating the need to parallel park.
