Yahoo Autos Dacia Manifesto concept shown at Paris Motor Show as an electric off-roader
The Paris Motor Show is typically home to some funky creations, and the Dacia Manifesto concept is no exception. First impressions suggest that we’re looking at a Dacia dune buggy, but there’s a whole lot of intriguing things about this vehicle.
For one, it’s electric and features four-wheel drive. Dacia says it’s designed for off-roading with a body built to withstand being knocked around and a high ride height. When driving it, you’re about as close to the elements as you can get. There are no doors, windows or a windshield. The interior is entirely waterproof, which means you can wash it out with a hose. However, think twice before you do that in the evening, as the seat covers double as your sleeping bags.
Dacia says that the single front headlight is all the car needs to light the way at night, and when you’re done driving, it can be removed to use as a torchlight at camp. There’s no big infotainment system, as instead of a built-in screen, Dacia is using its “Bring-Your-Own-Device” system that allows you to mount your cellphone onto the dash and fully integrate it with the car’s on-board computer.
