Raise your hand if you’ve never imagined to ride a US coast-to-coast with one of those cult Volkswagen micro-buses, like in some inspiring movies.

Of course my arms have not remained steady. But today I’d rather be in front of a modern and technological dashboard like the following, with much more comfort and safety.

I could still feel the old-fashioned fashion of a VW micro-bus though… because I would be driving the beautiful silver bullet below!

Powered by a hybrid (bio-diesel + electric) engine and provided with a photovoltaic rooftop, this amazing vehicle should be ready in form of prototype by next summer and available for purchase a short time later. Its creator, Canadian designer Alexandre Verdier, has recently stated: “I wanted to build a car that’s low impact and makes the most out of nature”.

Well done, Alexandre! Once you’ve stopped and turned your Verdier into the mobile house below, you’ll definitely enjoy the environment you’ve contributed to protect.

More details and pictures can be found here, or by googling Verdier.

A fully equipped Verdier will cost the crazy amount of $129,000, but a more affordable $69,000 version should be in the pipeline too. While wondering about a time in which I’ll be able to purchase and intensively use such a vehicle, I can’t wait to spot one of them around!
