We've never heard of what is a apparently a classic French character named Fantômas, but apprently he's a master of disguise and miscreant extraordinaire. More important to us though, in a 1964 flick, he drove a flying, rocket-powered Citroen DS. As we can see in this chase sequence between a Mini Moke and the DS in question, the transformation is brilliantly controlled through the HVAC controls and lets the creepy gray-faced anti-hero escape without a scratch. Let's just hope an underinformed passenger doesn't try to warm up the cabin in thick traffic.
