Your eyes are pulled to a car that violates every possible definition of conventional automotive design as you stop at a traffic signal. If one can even call it that, the car seems to have been designed by a committee including engineers, abstract artists, and mad scientists. Its body is an asymmetrical assemblage of geometric forms—triangles, spheres, and cubes—perfectly fused into a useful, if mind-bending, form. Though pentagonal rather than circular, the wheels revolve to create a pleasant ride somehow. The stained-glass appearance created by the patchwork of varying forms and tinted colors of the windows moves with the changing light. The outside is covered in a material that seems to change color depending on the viewing point; it shimmers between metallic colors like an enormous, vehicle chameleon. Surrounded in a cockpit of holographic displays and touch-sensitive surfaces, the driver's seat seems to be suspended in the middle of the car. You wonder about the creative process behind this mobile work of avant-garde art as other drivers and pedestrians stare at it. Is it a bold declaration about transcending conventional design or a glimpse into the future of transportation? Whatever the goal, this automobile most definitely challenges ideas and starts discussions about what a vehicle can be.
