Extremely unconventional vehicle designs are on display at The Petersen Automotive Museum.

The establishment is hosting the 'Disruptors' exhibition which seeks to spark creativity in the realms of [automotive design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-burger), whilst attempting to map the trajectory of the vehicle of the future. What's more, the event harnesses the expertise of creatives outside of the industry, signaling a dedication to interdisciplinary study and a cross-pollination of ideas.

The ultra-futuristic and highly unconventional vehicle designs are by Rem D Koolhaas and Joey Ruiter. While the former puts forth the futuristic ' Lo-Res Car Sculpture,' the latter stuns audiences with the 'Moto Undone' — "a [minimalistic city bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-and-deus-ex-machin) stripped of nearly all characteristics of typical motorcycles." Both creatives have backgrounds in the fashion, architecture and industrial design industries.
