talian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini has delivered some compellingly strange concepts over the years and his latest flying car design is no exception. The Hover Coupè is a gorgeous looking blend of retro-style with future-tech..
The Lazzarini Design Studio motto is,
“Think about the future, never forget the past,” and the Hover Coupè is a perfect encapsulation of that idea. The design is inspired by the iconic Italian car brand Isotta Fraschini, most specifically the early 20th century Tipo 8, a legendary automobile that exemplifies luxury.
Dives into 21st century styling
The concept takes the classic styling of this iconic car and launches it into the 21st century, removing the wheels and reimagining it as a flying automobile. Lazzarini tells us that this concept, “maintains the soft lines of the 40’s yet is powered by 4 turbine engine, similar to the ones in use in commercial planes, but smaller in diameter.”.
Innovative design is Defined
Lazzarini’s futurist concepts often lean into the unrealizable, but the company did make its mini-yacht Jet Capsule a reality recently, so it isn’t all pie-in-the-sky dreaming.
