Apollon Concept, Antoine Volanis, 1984
- I would love to see these retro future/ Cyberpunk designs see come to life with modern tech/ electric batteries inside.NBQ00

- This looks great. I have a feeling a Cyberpunk revision of this might add too much to the simplicity of this design.CyBrainX
- This looks like it can rewind my VHS tapeserr

Michelotti Matra Laser concept car 1971
- so much to dislike - all the stuck on bits (wtf are those odd metallic additions around the wheelarches), vile sliding window, lame "laser" lettering...hans_glib
- Those were different times, Hans.OBBTKN
- Yep, of it's time. I think it's a thing of beauty.mort_
- rims could be doing with 2 more inches diameter but the body is sweet as._me_
- Reminds me of the car my CD had when I was living in Amsterdam 20 years ago. 1970s DeTomaso Pantera. Looked awesome, but wildly unsafe.Continuity
- Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Marscanoe - Would love to see someone recreate this today. With the 'odd metallic additions' moulded into the chassis. That Faux wood boot thing? Still, love it!Ianbolton
- Love this.jagara
- The basic form is great but I have to agree with hans. The details are tacky.CyBrainX
- Especially the laser logo.jagara

while we're talking about stupid car design...
- That's a Ferrari Modulo. Don't you dare to call any Pininfarina design stupid...Longcopylover
- I'd take this design over Ferrari Lucefooler

The Melkus RS1000. East Germany's finest sports car, more than 100 were made! 101, actually. A typical communist luxury product that you could watch on TV but never, ever be able to buy.

- It sounds like a high powered lawnmower and popcorn maker.jagara
- The proof that design is not so easy. Even if you copy all the best bits from others.Longcopylover
- engineering, you mean?jagara

Renault Twingo, electric. The only thing left to solve is the battery cooling "problem"; otherwise, with a decent LFP setup... it would be a beast!
- prophetone4
- Surely not the original?dedlaast
- Double secret probation!fooler
- Oh man, imagine rolling up to a busy Starbucks in the local mini mall in this thing doing a couple of burnout, donuts out front and slamming into a parking spotprophetone

- I showed it to my wife, and she said YES... that this time, we're getting a divorce :)OBBTKN

The new Tesla Roadster reveal is 'interesting' - the McMurtry-like underfloor-suction with a deployable skirt's a great idea (one which I'm sure Musk will claim as his own) but the addition of a Literal Fucking Bomb with the compressed gas canister is... I mean, what the fuck?
It's nerdcoregasm, but in reality.. I mean, it's a fucking bomb. If that car crashes, or the canister fails, it'll kill everyone within 20 metres.
So odd.
So Over The Top.
So Bullshit.
So Musk.
- At least - my problem with super cars, since I was a kid has always been "yeah, but it doesn't fucker hover or fly, so what's the point?" Still unsolved.Nairn
- Heck, even the 1 second 0-to-whatever using the compressed gas is a danger to anyone or anything behind the vehicle. There's no practicality to it.Nairn
- I can't see this being produced ever... the speed it jumps, spins and goes 0 to 60 at would actually be w/enough force to detach a human's retinas.PonyBoy
- iam gonna drive a cybertruck to counteract the explosion... safety firstneverscared
- Yeah, PB - there's no way the compressed gas thing's going to be street-legal without some Trumpo-Muskian intervention.
It's all so.. diversionary.Nairn - The downforce skirt thing's bonafide though. A shame that, like so many other things over the years, it's not commoditised by the British inventors :(Nairn
- If Fucksk invents inertial dampening... then he's got my attention.PonyBoy
