What an interesting design… The HI-CT seems to be the unholy, and we hope, the only child, of the union of a US Truck (Lorry for our British readers) and a trans-Siberian train. Despite its bulky look and feeling, our HI-CT is a 2 Door… shall I say coupé?!?! Built for the city, and giving to its occupants a great feeling of security. We particularly liked the HUGE doors on each side of the car letting you getting in and out pretty easily, as well as the killer look of this concept which seems to be coming directly from Blade Runner.

Hi-CT
The Hi-CT aims to offer a new "coolness" and new ways to have fun as a departure from conventional vehicles - an edgy, urban vehicle inspired by the thinking and lifestyles of youth.
- Offers a new kind of automotive "cool" and sense of enjoyment.
- Has a new look unconstrained by conventional vehicle size (length 3,330mm x width 1,695mm x height 1,780mm).
- Adopts plug-in hybrid technology, which allows it to charge from an external power source and gives it a greater driving range when running on its battery-powered motor; by placing the battery under the floor, achieves a highly efficient cabin with a higher driver position.
- Comes with an AC 100V accessory socket that enables stored electricity - made possible by plug-in hybrid technology - to be used for a variety of applications.
- Features a removable rear trunk and a deck where surfboards, bicycles and other equipment can be loaded.
