It may be quite obvious, once you view the entire car, that this is a vehicle made for speed. It draws inspiration from a list of flora and fauna, but designer André Lyngra syphons down sources to two: the leopard and the stingray. It sits there, poised for an explosion of power, looking both elegant and aggressive; organic and strong.
Behold, the SixNine Performace Car.
Its curvatures, pulled from the stingray, are “mixed in this form to increase sculptural value as well as organic expression.” And whose lines, like the leopard, “highlighted in the moment when it is ready to attacks its pray.” Molded in a way that optimizes aerodynamics at high speeds and visuals for high times at the speed track.
How to turn! And how fast, you might ask?
Alas, I have no statistics to share with you on this project. Unless of course, as in many cases at Yanko, you press the designer (André Lyngra) to move this project forward and actually whip up a real-life working model!
Interest breeds grant money y’all.

i’m wondering how the weels are moved 😉 magic? sorry for being so disenchanted…
I assume the white covering over the top of the hola wheels will be the thing turning it
A good point, but if the desiger told you that then that would make him an engineer…
…and that would make him too clever to be a designer..!
What is it with concept artists and hollow wheels? Is it to try to look cool? I don’t get it.
Further, since when did a bizarre curvy shape automatically equal speed? That seems to be another staple of absurd concept art.
If you’ll pardon the scathing tone, this one in particular is as thoughtless as any of Funamizu’s concepts.
The hollow wheels work with electric motors mounted inside them. There are advantages to this hollow wheel design but I can not recall them at the moment.
The curvy shape is less speed related and more for down force and grip.
My only question that every one else seems to have missed is how will it turn?
Very sleek and even sexy design!
but the darn thing looks like a knock off of the La Auto Show Design contest winners vehicle the The MAZDA KAAN !!!
I’d have to say I agree.
This looks like it can be the “economy KAAN” 😉
kaaaaahn http://robotchicken2k1kpp.ytmnd.com/
STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!! chris and I agree LOL…just kidding chris.
that is a 3×3 all terrain KAAN!
so sexy!
so how do the wheels turn?
Would be nice if this was a electronic car
..sexy!
What I want to know is how you would even drive the thing? I see windows, but how would you get in 😛
Perhaps you craw in through the rear hatch 😉
I refuse to believe the creator was anything more than a Tron fan.
