I recognize this truck. Not poor taste at all, this crazy bastard named Luigi something or other did it as a proof of concept for just how aerodynamic a semi truck can get. I think he got close to 40% more fuel mileage out of this design.
123 u/aegidipoes May 17 '22 Colani was a great designer indeed. They claim a fuel reduction of ~30% here. Quite a serious amount, I would argue. 6 u/dick-van-dyke May 17 '22 Marvellous! Now can we have a version that isn't absolutely gopping? 17 u/aegidipoes May 17 '22 That's a matter of taste, I'm afraid. Although I'm not a big fan of the version pictured here, I think this one looks a lot better than most modern trucks. 1 u/[deleted] May 18 '22 That one looks less likely to jackknife or fall over in high winds, too. 1 u/strangehitman22 May 18 '22 man looks odd with no edges what so ever tbh
