Dymaxion Car היא מכונית קונספט בתצורת תלת אופן שיוצרה על ידי המהנדס והממציא האמריקאי באקמינסטר פולר בעזרת המהנדס הימי ויליאם סטארלינג ברג'ס (אנ') באמצעות חברת "Dymaxion Corporation"^[2] אשר נבנו בין השנים 1933–1934.^[3]^[4]

צורת המכונית הייתה שונה ובלתי מוכרת מכל מכונית אחרת שיוצרה עד שנות השלושים של המאה העשרים.

בשנת 1939 נבנתה בגרמניה מכונית עם קווי דמיון דומים בחלקן לדגם ה"Dymaxion Car" אשר הייתה קרויה Schlörwagen.

"In 1934, Fuller had interested auto magnate Walter Chrysler in financing his Dymaxion car, a durable, three-wheeled, aerodynamic land vehicle modeled after an airplane fuselage. Fuller had built three models that drew enthusiastic crowds wherever. Like all Fuller's other projects (he was responsible for refining and developing the geodesic dome, the first practical dome structure) it was inexpensive, durable and energy efficient; Fuller worked diligently to cut back the amount of material and energy used by any product he designed. "You've produced exactly the car I've always wanted to produce," the mechanically apt Chrysler told him. Then Chrysler noted ruefully, Fuller had taken one-third the time and one fourth the money Chrysler's corporation usually spent producing prototypes – prototypes Chrysler himself usually hated in the end. For a few months, it had seemed Chrysler would go ahead and introduce Fuller's car. But the banks that financed Chrysler's wholesale distributors vetoed the move by threatening to call in their loans. The bankers were afraid (or so Fuller said years later) that an advanced new design would diminish the value of the unsold motor vehicles in dealers' showrooms. For every new car sold, five used cars had to be sold to finance the distribution and production chain, and those cars would not sell if Fuller's invention made them obsolete
