Simca Fulgur

Automobiles

The Simca Fulgur was a concept car designed in 1958 by Robert Opron for the French maker Simca and first displayed at the 1959 Geneva Auto Show. It was also shown at the New York Auto Show and at the 1961 Chicago Auto Show. It was meant to show what cars would look like in the year 2000, and was imagined as atomic powered, voice controlled and guided by radar, with only two wheels balanced by gyroscopes when driven above 150 km/h. Its name is the Latin word for flash or lightning.
