The stunning Stratos Evo Concept seems to have just escaped from the makings of a superhero movie, although possibly an animated one still. Edgy sketches and aggressive renderings are the creations of Niels Grubak Iversen who found his inspiration in the fine figure of the 1970 [Bertone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bertone) Lancia Stratos Concept. Manipulating the exterior form of the matured concept, the Danish industrial designer rolls out an imposing design that features bold yet smooth body lines and a striking stealth-like rear vent. It is a mere study, of course, but a head-turning one indeed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 2% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Superhero-inspired Design:** Opportunity for car manufacturers to design vehicles with bold and edgy body lines, taking inspiration from superhero aesthetics. - **Animated Car Concepts:** Opportunity for car designers to create concept cars that resemble animated superhero vehicles, appealing to a niche market of superhero enthusiasts. - **Stealth-like Features:** Opportunity for car manufacturers to incorporate stealth-like design elements, such as rear vents, to enhance the overall aesthetic of their vehicles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for car manufacturers to create unique, superhero-inspired car models to attract niche markets. - **Industrial Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for industrial designers to create concept cars that combine superhero aesthetics with real-world functionality. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the entertainment industry to collaborate with car manufacturers to create superhero-themed vehicles for promotional purposes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Superhero Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p64-lancehead.md) - [Brutish Skeletal Supercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-570s-concept.md) - [All-Chassis Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-evanora-concept.md) - [Stealth Racer Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-f1-concept.md) - [Concept Racing Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vita-nova.md) - [Remastered Iconic Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remastered-iconic-supercar.md) - [Sleek Superhero Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina-b95-gotham.md) - [Modern Electrified Retro Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two8esl.md) - [Video Game-Like Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milano-vision-gt.md)
