You got to see this thing.

The wheel assemblis are articulated and each is on its own 'arm' type assembly that allow it to do some amazing things.

The Swincar utilizes tilting technology that allows each axel arm and wheel to act independently, making the traverse of deep ditches look easy and surprisingly comfortable.

On its website, the luminaries behind this ingenious piece of machinery say, “After many years of research, reflections, essays and developments, we are now ready to involve you in our adventure… It will allow you to rediscover the pleasure of walking in the mountains, in forests, in fields or along the beach enjoying the fresh air, the sound of the wind, waves or birds without noise or air pollution.”

Now that Google Earth has given us a vivid look at the Mars landscape, the Swincar would seem like the perfect vehicle to navigate the Red Planet. Your move, NASA.

Quite a contraption.

But makes me wonder if only 2HP at each wheel might feel a wee bit underpowered.

Also wonder what the range is on a full charge.
 
No, I'm pretty certain that thing is domestic home-built. I've read about it and seen pics before. The license plate is US, the trucks are Chevy's, and the guys are speaking 'merican.
