The Extra-Terrestrial Vehicle Is a Futuristic, Fuel-Efficient Shell For Your Chevy Aveo

Extra-Terrestrial Vehicle The Car Factory

Would you believe it if someone told you this was a heavily modifed Chevy Aveo (what we here in Australia like to call a Holden Barina)? Well you should, because the Extra-Terrestrial Vehicle takes the core of the GM vehicle and adds its own futuristic-looking shell on top, which also bumps the fuel efficiency up to 40 mpg.

While this may not have the raw techie appeal of a jet powered ATV or built-from-scratch concept car, Gizmag says the ETV does have a few nice gadget flourishes of its own. For one, the ETV replaces the side and rear-view mirrors with cameras that are displayed on screens inside the car. Secondly, it has plasma lights. Top it off with pop up gull-wing doors and adjustable front and rear suspensions--you got yourself a neat-looking car.

Manufacturers The Car Factory say that materials for cost around $20,000 for the ETV. And seeing as the modification is completely street legal (in Florida, at least, and certainly in Hill Valley circa 2015), they will sell you the kit to do it yourself. Either that, or you can fork over $45,000 and have them take care of it all for you. [The Car Factory via Gizmag]
