3C is a unique three-wheeler, convertible construction. The powertrain system consist of a fuel-cell engine, and the drive is provided by a magnetic-levitation engine built into the rear wheel. The power supply is assisted by solar-cells at the top of the car. The hardness and the height of the electro-magnetic dampers can be adjusted. This way 3C slants into the bends at high speeds - so thus the seats need no sides, because minimal lateral load appears. The interior is like a cockpit, the main control is a joystick, and there is a touch-screen panel for both people. There are two displays: for the driver it shows the car's data, for the passenger it shows a map, or some other programme (DVD, TV, etc.). The glass top can be lifted up and turned backwards to let the sunshine in. The cabin is open from the sides because of the general good weather.
3C needs tires like motorbikes because of the slanting; the strain is similar, just the size is bigger. There should be acceleration-sensors in the tires which communicate with the control system to avoid drifting.
