Turtle is a MPV vehicle with a flexible interior based on a fuel cell platform with four-wheel steering controlled by a Drive-by-Wire system. Since there is no physical connection between the platform and the cabin, the nose and the tail of the vehicle can shift toward the middle of the van, improving safety when a crash occours.

This project was selected for the 2006 edition of the "Michelin Design Challenge" and "Stile Italiano Giovani" competitions, and included in the "Mitomacchina" exhibition (MART museum - Rovereto (ITALY))
