Designer Exercise: Audi Calamaro Flying Concept Car

Tibor, a designer, has created a flying Audi called the Audi Calamaro Flying Concept. This could be a future solution. It would combine a light aircraft, boat, and car that runs on future fuel sources.

Audi has been flying high in sales in recent years. They have flown low with bullets such as the RS4, RS6 or R8 while staying afloat during times of difficulty. If the Calamaro Concept is any indication, we may soon see Audi taking these metaphors literally. Calamaro sounds like a intimate meeting between Camaro, calamari and Calamaro. It seems to be a combination of a car and a plane with some aquatic abilities.
Calamaro was created by Tibor in response to a Porsche Hungary design competition. Its shape is “inspired by the bone and cuttlefish”, which can be clearly seen. It is beautiful to see, but it leaves one wondering how the engine will work, how it will fly/ drive, and where it will park.
