It's the year 2054, GreatWall has just finished buying out GM, the last American owned car company, as Ford had been taken over by Tata a decade ago. In Europe, the German-Japanese-French car alliance that includes PSA, Renault, Nissan, VW Group celebrates its eternal CEO's, Carlos Ghosn's, centennial birthday by debuting the 12th generation VW Beetle.


Equipped with a NeoPlasma Magnetic engine, the 3.17 m long Beetle can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h (62mph) in 5 sec while it can achieve a top speed of 300 km/h. During the presentation, Ghosn, who is also the president of the EUR (European Russian Union), NATO, Greenpeace and the Union of abandoned East Timorian puppies, nearly had his 44th heart attack when he discovered that someone had put a real life flower in the dashboard vase as flowers are more expensive than a gallon of petrol in the second half of the 21st century.

All joking aside, this futuristic design was conceived by Carlos Agell. According to its designer, it measures 3.17 m in length, 2.25m in height and 1.4m in width. It's equipped with a laser gyrostabilization system and it has liquid metal body -whatever that means...
