hi guys:

thanks your any expression.
i know it is very important to design’s workable.
but some times. i just want to made some works to be i like.
and i know the car have a lot of problem by myself.
I think…not only design or concept, there will should be more possibility in future.
good concept = good design? or bad concep = bad design? i don’t know.
i just do that i want to do.

BTW : i’m sorry about my bad english.

Very reminiscent of a Spinner from Blade Runner – save for it doesn’t fly! Beautiful design but don’t think we’ll be seeing anything too similar on our roads in the near future!

WOW ZOMG!!! Ugh. Dime a dozen these days with “my car does this” and “it runs off that” I would have treated the white wheel cover differently, it looks clunky compared to the nice aesthetics of the rest of this spacey car-type thing.

As a car for a video game this would be nice.

But as a design for a real world car how ever…

Question for the designer. How is the MagLev technology being implemented in the wheels? Maglev trains work by either using stationary magnets in the rail to attract/repulse against to function.

The body work around the wheels are so low that it can’t handle even the smallest bump or slightest incline with out causing damage to itself.

The ingress/egress of the vehicle would be a PITA unless the occupants are VERY thin to squeeze by the seats. The flip up canopy looks nice, but would let in alot of rain/snow. Not to mention a good cross wind would probably flip it. Also the full open height would negate use in any average parking garage (except the never lands of the top deck)
