I love the fact that many of the new cars I see coming off the lines are starting to look like the concept cars I have been seeing on the cover of pulpy Sci-Fi novels for years. The designers imagine these cars, but in the past the brain dead executives in charge of the car companies have refused to stick the real rubber and chrome on them and get them on the road.

I have a new Honda civic, with the multi-leveled dash and the cool FI themed blue lighting. It is my little spaceship. When I am alone, sans female, I occasionally make little spaceship sounds as I whiz about George Jetson style. Caution, you can’t have a female in the car if you want to make spaceship sounds.

Below is the Audi Shark, a concept Hovercraft that won an Audi design competition. It comes from visionary designer Kazim Doku. It is bad-ass. Put some fins on it and it has a bit of that Blade Runner Spinner feel. Oh what a feeling. Wired brings us the news.
