For anyone who has ever faced the dilemma of either buying a new car or a new caravan, there could be a solution coming in the future.
A new vehicle design by Christian Susana is a combination of a caravan and a car, and the most impressive feature is a detachable front that allows for the car to be driven away without the living quarters of the caravan.
The futuristic looking caravan-car combination has been called Colim (Colors of Life in Motion) by the designer. This name is a bit of a mouthful, but hopefully the stylishness of the van itself would be able to outweigh the strange name.

The motorhome is designed for two people, with a maximum of four, and the owner has the ability to “personalise the four mobile walls on the inside of the vehicle depending on the present life situation of the user”, according to the designer.
Strange looks
The Colim would not only be perfect for anyone who wanted a caravan-car combination, but it would also work beautifully for anyone looking to make a statement on the road. The motorhome looks like it could launch into space at any moment, and it’s safe to say anyone driving it would turn heads everywhere they went.
The interior of the Colim looks like it was designed for the crew of Star Trek, so anyone who steps inside the motorhome will get the distinct feeling that they just walked into a science fiction movie. The interior design is laced in chrome in the initial design, with gold chairs and cushions featured as well.
When the cockpit is detached from the rest of the motorhome, it looks far different from any other car on the street. It almost looks more like an escape pod from a space shuttle than an actual car. The roof slopes downward towards the back of the car, and half of the car body is comprised of windows. The wheels lack the traditional spokes, and are instead solid white which adds to the very interesting look of this design.
The Colim is only in the initial design phase at this point but someday Christian Susana’s dream could become a reality and you could be behind the wheel.
