Mazda Mono-Posto from 2000 would have been perfect car for people who hate giving lifts

If you hate giving lifts, then the Mazda Mono-Posto concept car from 2000 would have been perfect for you.

Mono-Posto means ‘single seat’ in Italian and that’s exactly what you’d be getting here.

This single-seater roadster is based on the first-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata, and kept the original’s lightweight chassis.

But on almost every other front, this car is a true one-off.

The Mazda Mono-Posto – the perfect car for people who hate carpooling

Heavily influenced by speedsters of the 1960s, the Mono-Posto is many things – sleek, smooth, and driver-focused.

Admittedly, that last point isn’t so hard to achieve, given that there’s only seat in this car.

As you might expect for a car of this description, there’s not a lot of bells and whistles that come with this.

The car’s body is fairly clean and to the point, and the interior is…

Well, it’s a single chair with a steering wheel and a nice looking cockpit.

The Mono-Posto got its big debut at SEMA in 2000 and has lived on ever since as one of the more unusual car designs out there.

So then the question could be raised – why didn’t this ever go into production?

Why aren’t we seeing thousands of these single seater cars driving around?

Well, it’s impractical, to be blunt.

Even people who live alone would like the option to give someone a ride if need be.

But whoever designed the Mono-Posto obviously had some fun with it, so that’s what counts, right?

We love cars with quirky designs

Over the years, we’ve seen our fair share of cars that take the road less travelled when it comes to designs.

There was the Toyota Pod, made with a tail and the ability to detect the emotions of its driver.

Or how about the Covini C6W, the six wheeled Italian supercar?

One man believed he’d found the ‘weirdest supercar in the world‘, thanks to its strange vents and exhaust placements.

And who could forget the Brubaker Box?

But whatever you might say about these cars, they can be used to carpool.
