An eccentric French advertising man Jean-Pierre Ponthieu created the spherical Pussycar Automodule as a promotional vehicle. Pussycar described the Automodule as “The Car of the Year 2000″ and its purpose: "In this world where everything is banal and ugly, we must know how to create the beautiful and unusual." The unique car, whose rear wheel was powered by a 250 cc single cylinder engine, could do wheelies... "Definitely no speedster, this vehicle inches forward slowly and can also turns its wheels to drive sideways or rotate in place." According to one source only 10 examples were produced.
