Unusual vehicle concepts from Gambo Design

By Rain Noe - January 27, 2011

Some interesting concepts on the vehicle front from Nuremberg-based Gambo Design:

The Thansadet is a towable camper-trailer, with a killer app that sets it apart from its competitors: It floats. Tow it to the water's edge, launch it in some unspecified fashion and now you've got an aquatic caravan.

The Beach Boy is a joystick-driven, roofless electric car designed to cruise the coastline, like something you'd find at a Caribbean retreat. The seats pop down when it's time to park, providing a sundeck that looks like it will fit two, despite the fact that there's four seats. Presumably two can tan while the other two are ordered out to fan them with palm fronds.

Hi, the Thansadet caravan made me remember a very clever product that was made circa 1980 in Argentina. It was called (Boyita) little bobber, because of the similarity with the object . LetÂ´s see the The Bobber in action.

Off course that Thansadet looks much more fashionable, but the point is that the idea as a product worked, at least here en Argentina.
I hope you find it interesting.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
