What is this thing ? A block of stone, a Batmobile, a UFO? Called Lo Res Car, this funny car takes the design of the Lamborghini Countach … in a very simplified way!
Certain models have acquired their place in the annals of the automobile by their design unique, different, even sometimes questionable. The Citroën Kar-a-Sutra, Renault Avantime or even Messerchmitt Kabinenroller were thus funny examples of many possibilities offered by the automotive industry. Except that at a glance we knew what we were dealing with: a car, at least a means of transport. This is not the case with the The Res Car, a concept-car which looks more like a monolith or one UFO than a car itself.
From 3D to 2D
They are the designers ofUnited Nude, a Dutch clothing brand, who are at the origin of this funny machine. Starting from the line of a Lamborghini Countach (excuse a little), they greatly simplified the design to ultimately arrive at this cubic object, executed all polycarbonate, and able to accommodate two passengers, one behind the other.
However, do not count on a powerful V12 to animate the Lo Res Car, it is only driven by a small electric motor and hardly reaches 50km / h. It remains nonetheless a very fun car, both in form and in design: the project behind was to breaking the codes of automotive design and lower the 3D resolution to the maximum (hence its name, Lo Res for Low Resolution). This results in shape at the intersection of the second and third dimensions, in the look of Batmobile.
Windows, which windows?
But don’t be fooled by its protruding edges and matte black faces: inside, it offers almost 360-degree vision via its glass surfaces that cover the entire body. If from the outside it leaves nothing to be seen, it is because it is in reality a question of one-way glass ! For this design and this unidentified rolling object (O.R.N.I), United Nude a remporté un Wallpaper Design Award in 2016, and the Lo Res Car was exhibited in Los Angeles for the occasion, where it was also seen travel the roads of the city. So, if one day you have the chance to meet her on the road, above all, don’t panic while crossing: the driver has seen you.
