Would you like to turn heads while you are driving thru highways?  Ah, then this concept car is for you.  This is developed by Abdolhadi Mirhejazi of Dubai.  When he says it’s a 1-horse powered vehicle.  He means it.  An actual horse is running a treadmill inside this see-through van.  The treadmill feeds the gears which runs the wheels forward.  Ummm… a reverse is possible after training the horse probably to stride backwards?  Silly, it’s just a gear adjustment like the regular cars of course.The treadmill also feeds a battery that takes over when the horse either gets tired, or hungry!If you ever wanted to beat gasoline price hikes… this concept brings a new meaning to savings!  But as usual, when you run the numbers through, this may be a more expensive way to travel.  Horse maintenance, feed and other incidental costs will “kick” in, literally!
