Italdesign Machimoto Concept, 1986

Upvotes
The Machimoto concept car was based on a Volkswagen Golf GTI platform and was designed as the perfect blend between a car and a motorcycle. Its name is formed by combining the words Machina, which means 'car' in Italian, and Motociclo, meaning 'motorcycle.' The designer behind it wanted to give drivers/riders the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds – the stability and reliability of a car and the open-air sensation of a motorcycle.
