Malaysian car maker Perodua unveiled a concept car so futuristic, people couldn’t make heads or tails on whether it’s supposed to drive on roads or if it can take passengers to another planet.

Designed entirely in-house by the company, the C2 moves beyond earlier concepts like the EM-O to give an early look at their future sedan lineup, and a potential successor to the popular Bezza.
Many shared their comments on the concept vehicle, with some criticising and some making humorous comments about the design.
Why do manufacturers make concept cars?
If you’re wondering why vehicle manufacturers frequently showcase concept cars that look like they came out from The Jetsons or Blade Runner, it’s because these prototypes are meant to showcase radical technology, test new design languages, and gauge consumer interest.
They act as “blueprints” for future automobiles the companies make, allowing them to innovate without the strict safety, budget, or production constraints of mass-market vehicles.
In a way, it’s some form of expression by carmakers that allow them to “go crazy” with what they can create and test the public’s reaction.
Concept cars are not road legal so there’s virtually zero chance to drive one on public roads or even own one — unless you’re filthy rich and extremely lucky.
