Course it's cheating if he uses us to do that

Crossover camper van <-> small car already mentioned.
Design concepts need thinking out of the box, so a crossover doesn't mean the car does both jobs with no change.
Look at the Citroen Pluriel.

How about flat-bed truck and sportcar ??
How does it convert from one to the other ? Does the truck keep an axle for better performances AS a truck without penalising the psorts car ??

i wouldnt mind seeing something like a 1 seat sports car thats easy enough to drive around the street (doesnt particularly have to withstand city stop-start driving), but fun enough that on some empty streets, theres some enjoyment from driving under the limit, and still capable of 200km/h+ performance for on the track.
Check out the Deronda - a 2 seater trackday focussed sports car. But add the side luggage and the windsreen ( which includes the wiper ) and the roof ( which includes engine intake ) and you've a tourer
