Rinspeed Presto is a concept car that could solve your parking problems. At the switch of a button, the car can be shortened from a four passenger mode to a two passenger mode for parking in those ultra tight spaces.
The morphing/accordion thingy operation is done by an electric motor, which crunches up your car in seconds. In stretch mode, the additional space can also be used as a pick-up bed for cargo when the rear-seat backrests are folded down. The Presto is powered by a four-cylinder, 1.7-litre "common-rail" turbo diesel engine. What will they think of next? Read more on the Presto.

The day somebody sells a 5 seat/7 seat switchable car, is the day I trade in my old car. Why should I buy a Toyota Land Cruiser, or equivalent, and suffer the agonies of parking and driving just so I can have those extra seats a couple of times a year?
