What if a car976 Archives but on the moon?

The designers for Lexus and Toyota went beyond Earth to cook up concept ideas for out of this world rides. But instead of an all-electric autonomous vehicle with drone helpers like the LF-30 concept car released in 2019, the design team came up with moon cars.

Lexus calls it "moon mobility concepts" but let's be real: These ideas are for riding around the moon like a boss. Seven space vehicle concepts were dreamed up and a selected design featured in Document Journal, an art and culture magazine.

The selection? A concept called "Zero Gravity" that looks like a futuristic motorcycle that can go 310 mph and handle the bumps of the moon's surface, no problem.

Other ideas from Lexus's ED^2 design studio include glass tubes, a bouncing moon roller, a large-wheeled "cruiser" that transforms into a drone, a seat in a glass bubble, and a six-wheeled rover with a separate living compartment.
