Cin King vehicles are just slightly ahead of their time

Yeah, Cin King has been tickling people's fancy for a small while now, but with a lineup consisting of the Slim Jim, Full Power Flagship, Naked Wonder and Circular 360, how could we not pass this along? Barring some sort of miracle, it's safe to assume that all of these motorcars are patently fake, but that doesn't mean you can't get a laugh out of such a cleverly designed website meant to showcase the whole family, right? Go on, you know you can't wait to read more about "the first electric car with diesel drive," a compact with twin turbines, anything codenamed "Naked Wonder," and a round-mobile ripped straight out of 2184 (or an obscure episode of The Jetsons). 'Tis a shame these aren't anywhere near production -- they'd go over so well in America.

That last one is pretty cool, the other ones not so much

[hypereric @ Apr 16th 2008 11:30AM]

The last one on the right? If so, I would definitely buy it / drive it. But the seating needs to be arranged in two side by side rows.

[natels @ Apr 16th 2008 1:23PM]

Looks like the tea cup ride at disney imo..

[sirius @ Apr 17th 2008 5:27AM]

Yep.. The Circular 360 is pretty awesome =D

If it could take off like Atlantis in Stargate Atlantis it would be the coolest car ever. Very userful in a traffic jam =D

Too bad it's a joke =P People over Mercedes are pure evil !

[slightly confused @ Apr 16th 2008 9:41AM]

so is this just a joke site put up by "smart" cars?

[robb @ Apr 16th 2008 9:41AM]

what's up, viral smart ad.

[andi @ Apr 16th 2008 9:43AM]

it's an ad for the smart

[foxdude0486 @ Apr 16th 2008 9:59AM]

I just love the loading screen to the cars, the stick figure running.

[Smart People Play Tuba @ Apr 16th 2008 10:01AM]

The info on the "Full Power Flagship" says:
Interior Noise db(A):
176

According to one website I found, that's equivalent to:
1 TON T.N.T. AT 250 FEET

Hilarious.

[Ryan Trevisol @ Apr 16th 2008 10:26AM]

You won't be the only one surprised time and again when taking off . . .

[w @ Apr 16th 2008 10:01AM]

what were they...

why...

...


?

[SupaflyDaddyC @ Apr 16th 2008 10:06AM]

Anybody else freaked out by the two-headed dog in the Slim Jim desktop wallpaper?

[IT-Accountant @ Apr 16th 2008 10:17AM]

these cars are hilarious..... whoever designed the website did a good job, it's one of the classier flash-based sites I've seen, despite the ridiculous content. I would like to know who's behind this farce just to congratulate them on a farce well done. Too bad April 1st is behind us...

[w @ Apr 16th 2008 10:18AM]

i do see some destruction derby potential, though.

[SoloMalee @ Apr 16th 2008 10:25AM]

I'm amazed no one checked out the accessories page yet....

- Parking Distance Control (Fold up ruler)
- Sick Bag
- Energy Saving Spare Light (Candle)
- 4 Person Fresh air bag (Swim ring)

If you weren't sure it was a spoof before, you will be after checking out the accessories!

[Phour ZwanZig @ Apr 16th 2008 1:17PM]

I was thinking right off the bat that this was most likely a spoof website maybe for a class.. Just off the name itself, Cin King vehicles..

Umm to me thats Sinking vehicles.. Which doesnt sound like it would be a hit on the market..

[dev1ne @ Apr 16th 2008 11:02AM]

Haha, how far out is that? The shuttle thing looks cool though.

[Craig @ Apr 16th 2008 11:14AM]

THIS is what advertising should be like...fun, funny, and enjoyable.

Good on ya, Smart!

[Rud @ Apr 16th 2008 11:38AM]

Wow... no one has commented on the name of the site yet... Just say it out loud once :)

[Duffin @ Apr 16th 2008 11:52AM]

Definitely not a legitimate car company :P

Double click on the yellow rectangle in the top right (or anywhere on the site?).

The page literally FALLS OVER... Awesome...

"Think Smart."

[couchpundit @ Apr 16th 2008 12:08PM]

I'm getting a cin-king feeling about those cars...

[Lupo @ Apr 16th 2008 1:43PM]

i see what you did there

[Crazy Larry @ Apr 16th 2008 12:38PM]

At first, I thought the side engines on the Full Power Flagship were machine guns...Now THAT would be a car I would buy :D

[Ubuntu 7.10 WindowsXP @ Apr 16th 2008 1:24PM]

These are all jokes. Must be.....no vehicle will ever be this ugly...man that is ugly.

[a @ Apr 16th 2008 2:04PM]

(look at picture)
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
(look at picture again)
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA

[jamgrich @ Apr 16th 2008 4:10PM]

Crapethic!

[Mark Bao @ Apr 16th 2008 10:23PM]

Yes, this is an ad for SmartCar. Makes sense since it's pretty well done.

(Double-click the top right yellow button.)

"cin king vehicles are just slightly ahead of their time"
Not in the design department...

[GPS @ Apr 28th 2008 6:26PM]

Looks like they could fly
