German designers Oliver Keller and Tillman Schlootz presented their exteremely extreme personal tank concept for the 2006 Michelin Design Challenge, showcasing vehicles made especially for California's diverse and often rugged topography. Hyanide's tread contains 77 (holla!) identical plastic-covered segments of Kevlar rubber held together by Kevlar rope. Each segment flexes independently, allowing fluid multi-directional movement suitable for any conditions including deep mud, sand and snow.
