Hot Tatra
The last ten years has seen the resurrection of legendary auto brands like the Maybach, Bugatti, Healey, Mini and recently announced Alpine car brand. Tatra Motors, the third oldest car company on the planet behind Daimler Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot was the inspiration for this new concept design by Czech magazine AutoDesign&Styling. They asked designer Mike Jelinek to create this concept vision of the Tatra of the future. The result is the 903 Concept, a fuel cell luxury sportscar with innovative aerodynamic solutions. Jelinek adds, “The water drop shaped back refers to one of the most characteristic values of Tatra, the aerodynamics – same as covered rear wheels.” At present, Tatra only produces heavy trucks, but the this latest commissioned concept may get enough people excited to convince them to relaunch their passenger car line. Fingers crossed.

vudu84 says
wow that awesome
kosmoz says
Yeah…cool… maybe… but what is sure is that this guys look a little bit too close to some design of Daniel Simon…
Daniel Simon is a ex Volskwagen designer, he is independent now, in his book: “cosmic motors” the “Galaxion” car is much better…
ModuleS says
In all honestly I don’t know how this design helps the aerodynamics of the car. The back of the car looks a mouse.
Benjamin Guerrero says
When i first see the image i thought it was a mouse or a mouse whit the shape of a car
patricia de miranda says

Oh thank god its not just me that thinks this looks like a mouse with a click-wheel

Steve Page says

Elva says
perfect
muhaha says
it looks a bit like a computer mouse.
Vojtech Stransky says
Hi,I agree,that is too much inspired by daniel simons cosmic motors….
I have seen sketch from mr. Jelinek,which was also same photoshop technique that Daniel simon use
moha says
It’s Daniel Simon all over it, only worse!!!! As for the mouse theory that goes around.. you people should get out more!!!

You know, all you people that see a hot Alias rendering and think that it is a great design amaze me. Take your Alias goggles off! this thing has horrendous proportions, Impossible body cuts, and some of the most inelegant window graphics I have seen this side of a Mitsubishi Outlander. Absolutely no attention to panel separations either; angling here, there, wherever. This is a bad design, not deserving of the name it is representing. This is third place Peugeot contest level. Maybe second.
powaz says
Oh, and it does look like a computer mouse.
powaz says
Even better, he calls it the 903, when Peugeot has the rights to all three digit numbers with 0 in the middle! HA! what a blunder.
Saret says
Actually, The company has the right to use that designation because they are Peugeot’s parent company.
Phil Boy says
man i wish I was as cool and critical of others opinions as moha and powaz.
The design has ventured into the same places and plenty of other concepts before it, and the raised “aerodymanic” bonnet and minimal windscreen would limit the viewing distance for the driver dramatically. Otherwise a reletively nice design comprising some streamline element of the past.
