Have you ever heard of General Motors Holden (Australia) concept car the Hurricane?

The Hurricane was way ahead of its time in appearance and features. Produce in 1969 the Hurricane had not only a futuristic body, the car had futuristic options that today we consider regular options when purchasing a car. This car looked like something right out of a science fiction movie:

  • Instead of the regular driver and passenger car doors the Hurricane had a hydraulically-powered canopy that swung up and forward over the front wheels while the steering wheel rises up and tilts forward.
  • It also had a type of GPS called Pathfinder that worked with magnetic signals that were built into the road to guide the driver.
  • An automatic temperature control air conditioning system.
  • Rear facing back up cameras with a screen mounted on the console. 
  • Four wheel disc brakes.
  • Foam lined fuel tank                                                                   
  • Digital instrument displays
  • Interior padding and integral headrest.
