Renault Symbioz concept

THIS super-fast futuristic concept car pumps out 500kW, then transforms into extra rooms for your house. The French car maker unleashes a freaky concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show that transforms to become an extra appendage of your country house…
The Renault Symbioz concept is a bona fide head-turning show car leaving you scratching your head in bewilderment. Is this truly a glimpse of the future or just science fiction?
Renault says the Symbioz features “real” technology and provides a strong hint a production car inspired by this concept car will be forthcoming in five years or so.
Power comes from a pair of electric motors kicking out a supercar-like 500kW/660Nm. As well as being an EV, the Symbioz has level 4 autonomous features, meaning it’ll drive itself even if you’re, say, changing out of your pyjamas on the way to work.
Drive it up to your specially built house and the car’s incredible folding doors and roof fully extend, allowing the Symbioz to become an extra room. Renault explains the car can “…be an open space like a living room where people can spend time together and talk. The cabin interior was inspired by the design of living rooms.”
The party trick to end them all – a car that transforms into a sitting room
It may seem far-fetched, but as ride-sharing, electric vehicles and autonomous cars start to make hit mainstream society, vehicles like this, with lounge-room layouts, could become common.
