The vehicle features a wedge-shaped nose that hugs the ground, while the rear section gracefully ascends to help it cut through city streets with ease. A series of straight, edgy lines help to further enhance its aerodynamic aesthetic and is further accented by two headlights that sit right on the surface of the vehicle. The conceptual Lancia Cargo Stratos draws design inspiration from the past in a future-facing manner to help rethink what a [futuristic vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-turismo) might look like and create a striking model we're likely to reference for years to come. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wedge-shaped Supercars:** Designing wedge-shaped supercars could challenge traditional car design and enhance aerodynamic performance. - **Retro-futuristic Vehicles:** Creating modernized versions of retro-futuristic vehicles can bring together classic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. - **Innovative Aerodynamic Designs:** Exploring new aerodynamic designs for vehicles can optimize performance and fuel efficiency. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry has an opportunity to push the boundaries of design and aerodynamics with wedge-shaped supercars. - **Concept Car Industry:** The concept car industry can take inspiration from retro-futuristic designs to create visually striking and futuristic vehicle models. - **Engineering Industry:** The engineering industry can contribute to disruptive innovation by developing innovative aerodynamic designs for vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Next-Gen Boxy Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boxy-vehicle.md) - [Muscular Gilded SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-aurochs.md) - [Concept-Inspired Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-huracan-sterrato.md) - [Remastered Iconic Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remastered-iconic-supercar.md) - [Rugged Low-Poly Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeep-pickup-concept.md) - [Contoured Limousine-Like Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saab-aerostream.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) - [Electric Aerodynamic Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tatra-77-concept.md)
