00:00:16.581 --> 00:00:25.677
It's called the Superbus, but it's more like a 15-meter-long race car designed to carry 23 passengers in style.

2
00:00:25.905 --> 00:00:29.234
Imagine a luxury service tailored to your schedule. 

3
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:39.011
You call it, it comes to your door and whisks you off to your destination at high speed. This is the brainchild of Holland's first man in space, Wubbo Ockels.

4
00:00:40.144 --> 00:00:44.694
I wanted to have something which is, like, sexy. You're powerful when you're in there. 

5
00:00:44.712 --> 00:00:48.127
You have a good experience. It needs to be fast. You make a statement that way.

6
00:00:49.414 --> 00:00:53.952
This is 1,500 kilograms of batteries. You could drive 200 kilometers with that. 

7
00:00:54.514 --> 00:00:57.345
And then the idea is that you make a stop, which we call a pit stop. 

8
00:00:57.895 --> 00:01:01.800
And in the pit stop, you slide out the battery, you slide in a new battery, and you continue.

9
00:01:02.722 --> 00:01:12.680
Right now, there's only one person who gets behind the wheel of Superbus -- its designer, Antonia Terzi, Formula One engineer and former race car driver.

10
00:01:18.725 --> 00:01:24.853
There are a number of things that really are taken to the extreme of racing level.

11
00:01:24.933 --> 00:01:34.243
For example, the chassis had to be very lightweight, of course, because you want to consume less energy, you want the right position, the center of gravity, and so forth. 

12
00:01:34.307 --> 00:01:37.399
I mean, [there were]a number of design decision[s] I had to go through.

13
00:01:37.758 --> 00:01:43.497
And of course, when you start to put all these holes for the doors, you create [for] yourself a pretty big nightmare.

14
00:01:44.195 --> 00:01:50.274
On dedicated highway lanes, Superbus travels like a race car at 250 kilometers an hour. 

15
00:01:51.023 --> 00:01:56.524
But as public transport, Superbus needs to negotiate the tight turns and obstacles of a city. 

16
00:01:57.502 --> 00:02:04.668
Rear-wheel steering ensures it can turn a diameter of 24 meters, easily negotiating roundabouts and corners.

17
00:02:04.929 --> 00:02:06.866
And then there's its height.

18
00:02:07.922 --> 00:02:17.387
When it travels at high speed, it travels on the dedicated infrastructure. And when it travels on that speed, at 250 kilometers per hour, 

19
00:02:17.463 --> 00:02:25.440
it travels at seven centimeters from the ground --- very, very low to the ground in order to, of course, to optimize aerodynamics and the center of gravity. 

20
00:02:25.709 --> 00:02:31.892
You wouldn't be able to run anywhere else than the high-speed track at that height from the ground.

21
00:02:33.943 --> 00:02:42.210
We use six hydraulic cylinders. The vehicle can go up to 43 centimeter[s] from the ground, so it can move quite a bit.

22
00:02:42.213 --> 00:02:46.448
The Superbus can be configured in a number of ways for a different kinds of experience[s]. 

23
00:02:46.514 --> 00:02:51.179
Right now, I'm in the racing car seat, complete with racing car straps.

24
00:02:56.276 --> 00:03:02.650
Or you can ride in the luxury of what feels like your own private suite, seating comfortably six people.

25
00:03:07.223 --> 00:03:13.808
British entrepreneur and adventurer Richard Branson was so impressed that he took a ride in the Superbus himself.

26
00:03:14.053 --> 00:03:15.429
It's quite something, isn't it?

27
00:03:15.869 --> 00:03:19.856
So, is it a bus, a train, a plane or a super limo? 

28
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:25.461
Nope, it's Superbus, possibly coming soon to a road near you.
