I personally jump for joy whenever I get another press release or email telling me about the latest in electric concept cars.  Concept cars in general fall into two categories: the “This One Might Get Made” and the “Looks Good On the Auto Show Floor, But Never Gonna See Production”.  You can usually tell the difference by just looking for gullwing doors.  If it has gulls, it won’t ever get made.

Electrics are a breed all their own, though.  They have the above two categories plus the “Realistic, I Guess, But I’ll Never Get Caught Dead In One” as well.  This one falls into that new category.

Electric concepts are usually either realistic and (therefore) probably not marketable or so far out wacky in looks and/or pretend technology that they will never be anything more than a CAD rendering and maybe a styrofoam display model.  The CRK will never be more than artists’ renderings.

It’s a tiny little “urban commuter” (EV code for “tiny, low speed with no range” or what I like to call “cozy”) designed by Miro Arsov.  Since it’s never going to actually get made, it’s full of unrealistic tech too.  Like it’s ability to run on “solar” power.  I’ve seen cars that can do that.  They are large, flat, and have tiny bicycle wheels.  This one doesn’t look like them.

The tiny car seats two “comfortably” and has a paint job that I can only say looks like the rubber bath mat stick-ons you put in old people’s showers so they don’t slip and break a hip.  I mean look at it, it’s gray with a sort of non-slip texture to it.

Anyway, the CRK urban Nano has a “carbon fiber or aluminum space frame.. and panels are made of durable high density injection molded polyethylene, making absolutely no compromise on passenger safety.”  Err…
