In 1991, Mazda engineers decided to think way outside the trunk and built a suitcase that turned into a real car.
The “Mazda Suitcase Car” was designed for an internal contest called Fantasyard, where employees competed to create the wildest, most imaginative vehicles. The result? A 32 kg hard-shell suitcase that unfolded into a three-wheeled mini go-kart, powered by a 33.6cc two-stroke engine.
Once assembled, it could hit 30 km/h, complete with a seat, handlebars, and throttle tucked neatly inside the case. Only a handful were ever made and one still exists today in the USA.
It never hit production lines, but it remains one of Mazda’s most brilliant (and bizarre) experiments.. Proof that innovation sometimes starts with a little bit of madness.
