Quiet is the new loud. You just spent 5 grand hooking up your Civic with lambo doors, only to realize, they’re not cool anymore. What you need now is a set of disappearing doors from Jatech. Word.
They’re actually pretty cool, and relatively simple. The door just rolls under and slides into a compartment under the car. They thing is, it’s totally electronic, so when your battery dies, you’ve got to break your window to get out. Still, I think with some minor modifications, like a manual open option, I bet we see this in a mainstream production car within the next 5-10 years at least.

Shao Yung Yeh, a 22-year-old Taiwanese design student at Cheng Kung University created the aptly named single-seat Insecta Concept (yes, you heard that right — an InsectaCon cept — nice Transformers reference, eh?) after being inspired by a grasshopper. With leg-like suspension arms that can raise and lower depending upon traffic and road conditions, the Insecta is Shao's interpretation of a personal-mobility city car. The concept is theoretically powered by a motor at each wheel while the battery pack sits in the car's abdomen and is able to adjust the car's center of gravity, ostensibly by moving fore and aft. We hope it also controls the car's air conditioning, as the Insecta reminds us of nothing more than a greenhouse on four wheels.
