I don’t think Any of the comments made by others should be given any serious consideration whatsoever, judging by the standard of English grammar, spelling and the use of bad language, these people are little more than knuckle scraping, slack jawed Neanderthals.
Who cares what they think any way!
While I think the design is a little odd at first sight, I think it is clearly a practical vehicle, with an unusual appearance to which we would quickly become accustomed, if it was ever put into production.
With a little refinement, at the front and rear, it would be the new all purpose vehicle, for small-medium sized businesses.
Or even as a people carrier, for large families.

Future Car Designer (02:23:58) :
All of you people who said that this is a bad design are fucking retards. You all obviously know nothing about good design. Every time that there is a design for a vehicle that looks even a little futuristic you all say that it looks like crap and is one of the ugliest things you have ever seen. If it was up to you people all consumer products such as cars would look the same forever. How do you think the car got to be where it is today anyway? I’m sure if you were living in the time of the Model T and you saw a car from 2008 you would say that it looked like a piece of shit. All you people who left bad comments are brainless idiots who are not forward thinking and can’t imagine anything outside of the box. The people who criticized this concept are holding back society from advancing. So stay in the past where you belong. This is a great looking concept. I especially like the fact that it utilizes hubless wheels. It belongs on the road today.
BTW THIS IS A SEMI FOR ALL YOU STUPID IDIOTS WHO THINK THAT IT’S A CAR FOR ORDINARY CONSUMERS TO BUY!!!!!

1. HAVE A REASON. And post that reason.
2. Use PROPER GRAMMAR.
3. Stop using the term shit, it’s getting anoying. If you must bash it, just say it’s ugly and be done.
4. This is NOT a car. It is a SEMI TRACTOR. The kind you see barreling down North American highways with huge trailers behind them. It’s designed for towing several tons of freight, not picking up hot chicks or street racing. The appearance is only a concept, meant to look futuristic.
Okay?! Okay.

Mike (08:49:36) :
The design of this semi truck is awesome because it enables the truck to pull a trailer and get awesome diesel miles per gallon! A similar design was on the Discovery channel. This design is so aerodynamic it can cut through the air with great ease and save a ridiculous amount of diesel. So, the design of this so called piece of shit actually serves a great purpose which in turn makes it much cooler than most.

Shadow (07:48:16) :
I agree with the enlightened, well-spelled ones in this thread. To th ignorant ones, learn to spell, realize that that is a semi TRUCK concept, and if you don’t like it, fine. You don’t have to buy it…

david (04:47:23) :
As if some people here don’t know this this is a semi….it looks like one. not only that but its designed like that because 18 wheelers today are not aerodynamic at all…they loose so much gas mileage to wind resistance. people knew this and added the piece at the top of the cab that is kinda round. they are just making it practical with high gas prices and all
24092008
ScramJets (13:11:19) :
This sure would help with gas mileage. I have a very good friend who is a long haul driver for a leading aerospace firms. He drives one of the brand new Volvo rigs that have a much more sloped front end. Something like the above would increase mileage tremendously. The only draw back of a sloped nose is the lessened field of view.
5102008
Darron (13:20:37) :
I love the idea but view from the cab would be rather limited i suggest increasing the angle of the windshield a bit and shortening the nose a little apart from that i would love to see this on the road

luka (14:56:01) :
Very interesting design. Not too practical but worth exploring…
But what amazes me most is how so many low iq people manage to start windows and go online… … .?? Without open-minded people we would still be driving cars resembling bricks with four wheels attached to it.

Bear (05:26:03) :
I really like the general concept. A blend of Semi and Airliner. But I must be critical as a Pilot and an aerodynamics student. The visibility is poor (as many have said already) I see a very well thought out design…with the exception of the visibility. But should be continually rethought. And I like the hubless wheels ( although there are no real advantages to them ) Overall GOOD JOB =D
>also I have to make note of super good rendering and design!
-the Bear.
(PS: if you just feel like bashing people because they did something you don’t like…just tell your friends or have some respect and at LEAST some class. Nothing wrong with being critical. BUT theres no need to be rude.)

P.S. the creators are very thoughtful to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a fellow designer, I must give my honest opinion:
1) It is a nice aerodynamic design, yet it does seem too borrowed from a train.
2) Visibility is at lethally low levels.
3) The Elongated Cab makes it impractical on tight city streets.
4) It is rendered quite well.
5) I wish a could see an accompanying trailer.
Please note that the designers goal should not be to design something aerodynamic firsthand; that should be a less important goal–here’s why: Aerodynamic studies in the 1930’s proved that if we continue to try to make all cars aerodynamic we would end up with one universal shape (and that’s not good if we want a consumer driven economy; they want variety); it would look something like a teardrop. You should slope the front-end a lot more; this will give the driver more visibility and the cab more maneuverability. Remember, the design as of now looks like a train, and trains don’t have to worry about navigating traffic or negotiating tight right hand turns at intersection. But good work!
P.S. I especially love the upward swoop at the top of the cab; keep it in your redesign.

I really enjoy the design. I would suggest bigger mirrors and maybe a design of the interior as well. With the size and lack of visability maybe it comes with cameras?? Im really intrested in what it would look like inside! Also It comes across being too long(taking a little off the nose and a bit off the cabin?) and too high, just a little tweeking would do and I would say it’s good! I love it!

Joshua (23:14:45) :
Interesting design, but I must point out some flaws.
The first would be limited visibility, and several people have already pointed that out.
The second would be the exhaust system. It looks like it would have to push the exaust quite a ways. I’m sure that with proper refinement that it would flow freely. The problem with exhausts is they have to be the correct length, too long and it will choke the motor, too short and you lose backpressure.
The low profile tires are a no-go. Not enfough rubber/air on the road. Those rims would weigh a ton in addition to the load. They no longer use the beadlocks because they are unsafe, and it has been demonstrated that the low profile tires wear out faster and are more likely to blowout than regular sized.
It appears to have disc breaks. Again I would advise against this. Maybe discs on the front, but when under load drum breaks would be able to stop the mass faster.
It also looks like it would ride a little low, unless it has an air suspension. Something I would not reccomend for a veichle that will be carrying tons. Busses can do it fine but they dont carry the same weight.
Any way you cut it. Good Concept! Keep up the good work!
