Extreme. Cool. Concept. But still silly. The [Audi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vista-roadster) Quattroflex is a concept designed by Alexey Bykov. He first created designs for the vehicle back in December 2006, but updated his work this year to qualify for a new competition. "The basic concept is the capability of transforming the shape of the passenger seats, by using futuristic [flexible shape memory materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster-seat)," mdolla.com says. Why would a designer waste his time and somebody else's money to design a two cylinder, [two seat, four wheeler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-car-hybrid) that is controlled by a joystick? "The similarity with an horseless carriage was intentional and based on the competition theme 'Emotion in Motion.'" It may flaunt some super-dooper technology that isn't obvious, but what's with the tilt wheels? And why so big? I don't get it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flexible Shape Memory Materials:** Companies can explore the use of flexible shape memory materials for innovative product designs. - **Joystick-controlled Vehicles:** The creation of joystick-controlled vehicles can open new possibilities in transportation and mobility solutions. - **Emotion in Motion:** Businesses can use the concept of 'Emotion in Motion' to challenge designers to come up with innovative and creative designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Industry:** The use of futuristic materials and joystick controls can disrupt the automotive industry and lead to new product designs. - **Mobility Solutions:** The concept of joystick-controlled vehicles can create opportunities for companies to create new and more accessible mobility solutions. - **Design Industry:** The use of challenging themes such as 'Emotion in Motion' can push designers to create disruptive and innovative products across industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transforming Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vista-roadster.md) - [Lounge-Like Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-concept-vehicle.md) - [Four-Wheeled Hybrid Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karver-cyle-concept-k1.md) - [Inclusive All-Terrain EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoquad-v2.md) - [Utilitarian Electric Four-Wheel Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utv.md) - [Modular Quadricycle Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azr-quad-go.md) - [Off-Road Electric SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q6-etron-offroad-concept.md) - [Road-Ready Dune Buggy Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fordzilla-hypervan.md) - [Elevating Passenger Level Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-cascade.md)
