It’s not everyday that you come across a 3D printer, much less one being used to make a futuristic concept car. Meet the Peugeot Fractal, which was developed in collaboration with sound designer Amon Tobin. This electric car not only has a unique sound signature, but also a holographic head-up interface, along with a “9.1.2” system comprised of 13 speakers and bass systems built into each seat.
