Hussein Al-Attar was working at the company's Ingolstadt Exterior Design Studio in Germany when he came up with these super-streamlined computer models, fit to be paired with the [most powerful of engines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hypercar-prototype). These [futuristic race car concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vita-nova) look nearly like spaceships beamed down to earth with their sleek and sharp sculpting and discernible absence of wheels. These Audi form studies embody some of the most significant physical features of high-speed supercars, with cutting curves, a smooth body and a narrow cross-section that sits low to the road. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Streamlined Automotive Design:** Exploring reduced friction and air resistance in automotive design for improved performance and efficiency. - **Futuristic Race Car Concepts:** Developing race car concepts that embody sleek and sharp sculpting for enhanced aerodynamics. - **High-speed Supercar Features:** Incorporating cutting curves, a smooth body, and a narrow cross-section that sits low to the road in high-speed supercar design. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Manufacturing:** Opportunity to innovate in the production of streamlined vehicles that prioritize reduced friction and air resistance. - **Automotive Design:** Opportunity for designers to create futuristic race car concepts with sleek and sharp sculpting, and discernible absence of wheels. - **Supercar Manufacturing:** Opportunity to incorporate cutting curves, a smooth body, and a narrow cross-section that sits low to the road in the production of high-speed supercars. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Performance Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vision-gt.md) - [Luxury Aerodynamic Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-a6-sedan.md) - [Electric Aerodynamic Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tatra-77-concept.md) - [Collaborative Custom Car Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-a7l.md) - [Contoured Limousine-Like Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saab-aerostream.md) - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [Plane-Inspired Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-concept-vehicle.md) - [Stealth Racer Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-f1-concept.md) - [Sleekly-Designed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-rs-etron-gt.md)
