# Ultra-Flexible Concept Cars Ali Khanzadi Designs a Mercedes Sports Car for the Distant Future By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-15 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ali-khanzadi References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/06/14/sustainable-mercedes-roadster/) There aren't many concept cars that look like the one Ali Khanzadi recently whipped up for [Mercedes-Benz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-cla). The designer has created a concept car that mixes a classic design and futuristic technology to create a [concept car unlike any other](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vision-gt). This car has the body of the classic two-seater roadsters from the 20s and 30s. All similarities with any car end there as this design features both wheels and axles that are razor-thin. The purpose behind the ultra-thin axles and wheels is so that the car can take corners and turns faster. The car would be made out of carbon fiber and recycled plastic and would be [powered solely by electricity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hypercar-prototype). While Ali Khanzadi's design is way ahead of its time, it is still cool to look at and think "what if?" ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Ultra-flexible Cars:** Designing cars with razor-thin axles and wheels to enhance maneuverability. - **Classic and Futuristic Design Fusion:** Creating concept cars that combine the aesthetic of vintage roadsters with modern technology. - **Sustainable Electric Vehicles:** Developing concept cars made of carbon fiber and recycled plastic, powered by electricity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive Manufacturing:** Opportunity to innovate in the production of ultra-flexible cars with thin axles and wheels. - **Automotive Design:** Exploring the fusion of classic and futuristic elements in conceptual car designs. - **Sustainable Materials:** Potential for developing eco-friendly materials for electric vehicles, such as carbon fiber and recycled plastic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Futuristic Modern Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-vision-oneeleven.md) - [Dynamic Silhouette Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-dresscode-concept.md) - [Stylish Concept Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-cla.md) - [Art Deco Show-Car Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-iconic.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Solar-Powered Sedan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-eqxx.md) - [Turtle-Inspired Sleek Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-imobility.md) - [Electric Aerodynamic Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tatra-77-concept.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md)
