# Hyperloop Highway Vehicles The 'Hornet' Car Vehicle Design is an Automobile of the Future By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-01-31 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-vehicle-design References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/01/30/a-hypercar-for-the-hyperloop/) The hyperloop is purported to be the direction that we're moving when it comes to train travel, but the 'Hornet' car vehicle design identifies how personal automobiles might shift to new technologies. Designed by Vivek for car brand Audi, the 'Hornet' utilizes a magnetic levitation (maglev) propulsion system that allows the vehicle to float above the surface of the road it is on. The vehicle is capable of holding up to four passengers and features a streamlined design that makes it look almost like a futuristic spaceship cruiser. The 'Hornet' car vehicle design identifies how future automobile transportation will likely take a nod from the technology at work within the hyperloop in order to make personal mobility more efficient and functional. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 40% | 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Maglev Automobiles:** The use of maglev propulsion systems in automobiles may change the game for personal transportation. - **Streamlined Vehicle Design:** The integration of streamlined designs in personal automobiles can provide more efficient mobility. - **Hyperloop-inspired Cars:** The adaptation of hyperloop technology to personal transportation can lead to advancements in the automobile industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can explore and invest in maglev technology and streamlined designs for future automobile models. - **Transportation Industry:** The transportation industry can embrace hyperloop-inspired technologies to improve personal mobility and transportation systems. - **Design Industry:** The design industry can collaborate with car manufacturers to create more innovative and futuristic automobile designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transforming Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vista-roadster.md) - [Oversized Well-Appointed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-urbansphere-concept.md) - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cladrus.md) - [Lounge-Like Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-concept-vehicle.md) - [Elevating Passenger Level Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-cascade.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Magnetic Wall-Scaling Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trois-mobility-concept.md) - [Ultra-Fast One-Person Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airspeeder-mk4.md) - [Open-Air Autonomous Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-adaptor.md)
