slow car

It all started with slow food, a preoccupation with where food comes from and how it tastes. It turned into a movement and spawned slow design, slow cities, slow fashion, slow travel and more. We proposed slow cars, "a radical lowering of the speed limit so that the private car can survive in an era of peak oil and global warming, simply by being smaller and slower."

Dutch designers Jurgen Bey and Studio Makkink have gone further yet, and designed the slow car. Harry at Mocoloco writes that it is "a vehicle design that flies in the face of conventional car design by shunning the desire for speed and instead promoting the benefits of moving at a snail's pace"
