General Motors is looking at introducing two world firsts with their latest prototype -- an environmentally-friendly hydrogen fuelled car that allows drivers to change the chassis design according to their mood.
The Hy-wire, named for its combination of hydrogen and drive-by-wire technology, is an alternative to gasoline or diesel fuel.
Skateboard chassis holds all power and mechanics.
And because just one wire connects the chassis, which contains all the electrical controls, to the car body, substitute body designs can be swapped whenever the driver feels like a change.
Interior shot, no-pedals or steering wheel.
Hy-wire is not scheduled for release until 2010, but it will be introduced to the public at the Paris Motor Show on September 26.
