Luigi Colani
Industrial Designer

Designs cars, trucks, airplanes................etc.

I did not really know this guys name until today, even though I've been familiar with his semi truck design for many years - burned into my mind as an unforgettable image. When I look at his work and the scope of his, I see a few similarities in my own interest and design direction.

Right now I don't know if his hovercraft worked, worked well or in which year it was designed and built.

If you click the links there are a lot of sport car designs, real cool, some more weird than cool though.
