(NEWS) Your Next Taxi...

This vile beast could one day be taking you home from a night on the tiles - or scooting you off to the airport for your next holiday.

Say hello to the CityCab, a Finnish hybrid taxi concept with a big sliding door and four-wheel steering.

Described by its developers at two Helsinki Universities as "a fully-functioning research vehicle", CityCab features the same petrol-electric powerplant as the up-its-own-arse Toyota Prius. The floor can also be lowered by nearly a metre to help the disabled roll on board, or with heavy bags.

Now if they just made it in black with a beaded seat cover cabbies all over the UK might sit up and take notice.

If you want to get closer the future of pissed-up, kebab-laden, overpriced transport, check out the press release.
