The battery-powered runabout is built from aluminum and stainless steel and has a top speed of 40 mph and a range of 37 miles per 6-hour charge. Volteis specializes in building low speed vehicles targeted at island resort communities. (AP)

The simplicity of the V+ recalls the French La Quazar concept from 1967. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/leisure/2011/12/04/eye-popping-car-designs/#slide=1">Click here for more Eye-Popping Car Designs from LIFE Magazine</a> (Keystone/Getty Images)
