Indian company Goldmedal Electricals has unveiled the futuristic design for their $2 million mobile showroom bus.
It has an aerodynamic, spacecraft-inspired design by Dilip Chhabria’s DC2 Mercury studio.
Some say it looks like a hybrid of a high-speed train and an aircraft.
Spoiler: it’s actually a 55-foot advertising showroom on wheels.

The $2 million Indian bus
While it looks like a space-age vehicle from the outside – there’s actually far more to the bus than that.
It features RV-like three-sided hydraulic sections that expand to create more showroom space when parked, showcasing Goldmedal Electricals‘ products.
To host clients, its spacious interior also includes a lounge area, a minibar, and over 10,000 adjustable sci-fi-esque LEDs.
When fully refreshed they can better view the company’s offerings in lighting, home automation, and wiring systems.
To kick off proceedings, the unique and mobile marketing tool debuted at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 from January 17-22.
From there the bus will travel across India to promote the brand and its products.
Other futuristic travel designs
This isn’t the only sci-fi-inspired bus we’ve seen roll onto the scene recently.
Designed for tourists, the Citroën U55 Cityrama is the world’s rarest bus.
The 1950s double-decker bus once showed tourists the sights of Paris – and following an ongoing five-year restoration it’s now set to do the same once more.
Inspired by mid-century futurism, with a bubble-like glass roof, panoramic windows, and sleek curves it offered unparalleled views of the city.
However, the resto is not without its challenges due to no existing models or glass molds still in existence.
What’s more, this new state-of-the-art high-speed train will connect Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
