Abstract The invention relates to a motor vehicle of which the shell is entirely constructed of resilient impact-resistant material configured into a structure of integrated volumes which is fitted on to a load-bearing base comprising all the mechanical members. In this respect, the term "shell" signifies that which in conventional motor vehicles is represented by the body together with the compartments for housing the mechanical members and passengers. The proposed vehicle is therefore composed of a lower body portion or frame to which the wheels and transmission and control members are connected, on which there is a structure formed from one or more blocks or sheets of resilient material, configured as volumes which harmonically blend the outer shape and the passenger compartments into a unified combination.
A motor vehicle comprising a load-bearing base which houses a rear engine of the vehicle, and on the load-bearing base a soft body which has in its center a concavity for seats for the driver and passenger, said body being entirely of molded expanded soft cellular material, and roll bars fixed rigidly to said base, there being a forward said roll bar which embraces a wind screen of the vehicle.
