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.

Wow…now thats a nice looking car….I wish more car producers would actually build cool cars like these…for instance the lexus from Minority Report…also a great looking automobile..
wow that awesome
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…
In all honestly I don’t know how this design helps the aerodynamics of the car. The back of the car looks a mouse.
When i first see the image i thought it was a mouse or a mouse whit the shape of a car
i come here to said the same of beijamim guerremo, the design makes me to remember my mouse ;))

Oh thank god its not just me that thinks this looks like a mouse with a click-wheel
Just needs a matching set of white jump start leads and it would be there!
Tad white, first snow storm in Czechslawhatsitnow and your walking home!
perfect
it looks a bit like a computer mouse.
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
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.
Oh, and it does look like a computer mouse.
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.
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.
