Have you ever ridden a spider? Okay, you may not have come across such a large, bizarre spider but imagine the one that you have seen in Lord of the Rings. You surely wouldn’t want to ride one such scary creature, no matter what. But imagine having the luxury to tread on any kind of terrain without really getting stuck or overturned. We are talking about the Spider Car that sources its inspiration from a spider’s anatomy and movements, blends it with modern automobile technology and comes up with such a degree of ingenuity that it is ridiculous and bizarre but a must-have.
The Swincar Spider is a four wheel drive tilting car that can work any kind of slope, bumpy terrain and obstacles that until now have been unconquered. There are four wheels, each of which have spider like legs and there is an electric hub motor in each of the extensions. The result, every wheel is capable of weird movements regardless of the movement of the other corresponding wheels, on its side or on the other side.
Effectively, you can ride on a slope that has a 50% gradient and we are not talking about uphill or downhill rides but horizontal driving. You can have one set of wheels on either left or right side of the car at ground level or on a plane and you can have the other set of wheels on a terrain or slope with 70% gradient. Every wheel in the car can go up and down, can stretch and then get back to its original form regardless of what the other wheels are dealing with.
The bottom line is that you can drive on any terrain without rolling over or getting stuck.
