Futuristic designs: The Audi Calamaro concept car

27 October 2008 One Comment

Another flying car? To be honest, most concept gadgets and cars too are relatively unrealistic, including this one. The Audi Calamaro concept really takes things to the next level. For one, it’s a flying car. No wheels here. Yeah, you could say it’s as futuristic as the vehicles you drive in the video game Wipeout.

Designed by Hungarian design student Tibor for a design contest run by his native Porsche distributor. And inspired by the “bone of a cuttlefish,” the Audi Calamaro does a good job of looking kind of like its name suggests while still adapting current Audi design themes. One thing is for sure it looks great but not that practical at all. It doesn’t even have a trunk (though lots of sports cars these days don’t neither. All round, I think its awesome for a concept design, who wouldn’t want to test drive it, if it became a reality?

    Gorgeous design - a bit blunter and less sleek than the Wipeout cars but I like the red nose - very imposing and powerful. A pity it’s going to be more like decades rather than years before we see its like flying around.
