Proxima rides at you like a car, zips off like a motorcycle
You'd probably think the Proxima is a car if you saw it from the front, or a motorcycle — albeit an odd-looking one — from the rear. You'd be right, both times. A concept by Alvino Design, the Proxima is a two-seater that successfully blends two different vehicle styles. Chances are, if you love motorcycles the Proxima won't provide the same thrill, but anyone into odd vehicle concepts or just sleek body stylings besides should be able to appreciate the Proxima's elegant tapering from one vehicle and into another.
Check out the gallery below for more of the Proxima.

Somehow this reminds me of the motorbike Kannada drove, might be backwards though.

...............................................
this vehicle is nothing like the CARVER, the Carver is a Trike , (one wheel up front. leans like a motorcycle and, the engine and rear wheels are packaged as a unit.) Proxima is a reverse trike, (two wheels up front.) The Proxima is more along the lines of the T-Rex ( by Capagna, out of Canada) either way, It's a sharp vehicle and put me down for one. non-hybrid.
