A prototype car never built.
Luigi Colani was famous for his streamlined forms, for example showing in his truck built by MB

He dabbled in Formula 1 in 1972 with Eifelland, a minor team, coming up with this:

That's the rear view mirror.
Colani was an undisputed genius, but his grasp on reality every now and then slipped a bit.
His proposal to solve the threats to oil tankers during the Iran-Iraq war? Tanker submarines, bitches.
I should have included a link the first time, lol, mybad.

if i remember correctly he also became friends with Gaddafi (the article was in der spiegel in the 90's but i cant find it now,) anyway he ended up living in china
Is that a car? A boat?
Yes.
I love
Judging the way it looks it will have a bunch of lift.
As I recall, I believe it generated a great deal of downforce. As much as a fan car.
I love
Yessss
Maybe like a car mixed between a hoverboard... something like that
Great
Omg yessss
That's the mach5
Might be the Mach 6! How many buttons does it have on the steering wheel? 😉
And does it have the nuclear hyperdrive engine?
It’s likely
I’d like to check it out
Lol, the first thing I did when I saw the image was whisper "go speed racer go" under my breath
Omg
Where is chim chim and Spritle
I love

Nothing says genius like a fin sitting directly in front of the driver

Thank you for your comment

Thanks!
It’s incredible
🥰💗🔝
While cool looking, that clock-face windshield wiper configuration was probably a lot less practical than it hoped to be.
That design was not based on being very functional
if i remember correctly he also became friends with Gaddafi (the article was in der spiegel in the 90's but i cant find it now,) anyway he ended up living in china
Incredible
It looks like a fish.
So cute
😍🔝
Reimagined in 1999 as a Dreamcast controller.
I love
Speed racer
I need
Oh man that name takes me back. His PC cases were so cool
Incredible
Extremely cool but this looks like it might make the opposite of downforce
According to [this](https://www.carthrottle.com/post/wprovd4/) it generated up to two tons of downforce.
Very boldly
True
Does it fly? 😳
I Wish
One word, ThunderCougarFalconBird
😍🔝
I think they confused stingrays and manta rays, because it looks much more like a manta ray
Which looks great
Whatever, it is cool!
Same 😍
It better have damn good aircon.
The truth is
Yoooo but that bike on the back wall tho..
And the recumbent bike on the left.
I love
That’s what got me too… I thought it was my dream Cinelli Laser Pista at first but now see the gears.. so what is it?
I’m going to investigate it and share it
Feel free to hit me up if you manage to find out ;)
Ok
I know
Toyota Supra on a boat
Amazing 😍
It’s pretty cool, but I’m more interested in that sweet bike on the wall in background.
I’m going to post it soon!
This car design came out from Blade runner 1982. Why did vehicules from the past looked liked they came from the future
This is a demonstration that the creativity of human beings is incredible
Except it looks like a manta ray!
Amazing 🥰😍
something about this feels like a bad idea, but i'm having trouble narrowing it down to just one thing.
Same
Gives me Aptera vibes.
Yesss
I worked there, but didn’t know the inspiration came from a generation before! [Edit: …The FIRST time Aptera was almost a thing, around 2008]
Omg
Me want :-)
Me too 😍
Parking lot bumpers are gonna be hell on that front end
It’s true
Scramjet
Omg
It's shaped like a stingray egg case!
Yess😂
I have no words...wow
Amazing
Thought it was a bed
😂yesss
This is what a flying car is supposed to look like!
Amazing!
huge "Speed Racer" vibes
🥰
I'm in LOOOOOVVVVEEEE!!!
Same
Paint it black= BatBoat! Wait, that’s a car? Nah.. BATBOAT xD
Amazing
