Concept truck by Luigi Colani (amazing forms)

Luigi Colani is a legendary Swiss-German industrial designer, whose concepts have rounded, organic forms, which he claims are ergonomically superior to traditional designs."
Words fail me as I gaze on the audacious curves of these full-size trucks... First "Colani Trucks" (based on Mercedes platform) appeared at the end of the Eighties, and several variations were made since then.

Wow that's trippy. At first I thought he meant truck in the american sense, but after looking at some of these i think it'd be cool to see one on the road. Better than the current semi's (lorries, etc.) out there. I especially like the one with the 3 rotating windshield wipers.

Maybe just a bit overdone. But American semis have really horrible aerodynamics, they can easily up their milage with little work.

Hahaha...yeah when I first read trucks I was thinking the typical pickup truck not semi. As out there as they look, I kinda like them. This front view picture does not do them justice. The 1/4 side view is a much better vantage point. And I like how the space between the cab and trailer is at a minimum.

Luigi needs to get his head out of the gutter. Naughty, Naughty.

I saw this on the road in early 2009 in TN.
