Cocoon-Inspired Cars

'The Shark' by Kazim Doku Melds Motorcycle and Air Travel

— February 28, 2009 — Autos
This automobile placed second in the Desire Design Competition. I’m searching for the first place car, because it must be some invisible fourth-dimension vehicle. The 'Shark' by Kazim Doku is right out of science fiction. I’m not even sure which is the front. But I want one--or five. It looks like it’s a flier and holds two passengers. Other than that, I’m not sure of the details. Details, Schmetails!

Implications - But by making the concept car an Audi, the details of a vehicle like this would be incredible. Concepts like this are alluring for their design components and futuristic qualities, but I think it is pretty safe to say that it'll be many years before we see something like this on the market, if ever.
Trend Themes
1. Cocoon-inspired Design - The 'Shark' by Kazim Doku merges the aesthetics of a cocoon with automotive design, signaling an opportunity for other industries to explore similar merging designs.
2. Multi-purpose Transportation - The Shark's seamless integration of motorcycle and air travel suggests a potential opportunity for other industries to explore multidimensional transportation.
3. Futuristic Concepts - The Shark's sci-fi inspired design leaves the potential for further futuristic design development in the automotive industry.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Industry - The Shark presents an opportunity for the automotive industry to further explore and develop new and innovative designs.
2. Aviation Industry - The Shark's fusion of motorcycle and air travel creates potential innovative opportunities for the aviation industry.
3. Design Industry - The Shark's imaginative and futuristic design creates an opportunity for the design industry to pursue other designs that merge seemingly disparate objects.
