Move over Smart Fortwo, here comes the CLEVER, or Compact Low Emission Vehicle for Urban Transport. Designed by the Technical University of Berlin, the CLEVER offers convenient city driving through small measurements (3m long, 1m wide), light-weight (400 kg) and low fuel consumption (98 mpg), with a chic futuristic motorbike appearance to boot.

Accommodating two passengers, it overcomes the cornering problems experienced by most three-wheeled vehicles through two computer-controlled hydraulic actuators, which rotate the cabin around a maximum angle of 45 degrees each way. The CLEVER is powered by a modified 230cc BMW engine, capable of a modest top speed of 62 mph.
