Can't believe I had to scroll so far for this.

Make sure you never flip it and wind up upside down.

[-]

FarmBoyGuns@reddit

Fantastic car. I'm worried that it maybe mistaken for a Tesla buy some idiot. I'd get a magnetic sign saying "not a Tesla"

[-]

benjancewicz@reddit

This is the kind of cool the Cybertruck wishes it could be

[-]

thatswhyshe@reddit

What do you mean? this is almost a direct copy of the rayfield caliburn from cyberpunk.

bacondesign@reddit

He's talking about elmo's dumpster swasticar

[-]

thatswhyshe@reddit

Oh. I just saw cyber with a k at the end and immediately thought cyberpunk. Not cybertruck.

[-]

thatswhyshe@reddit

It’s a concept that people have started to subconsciously and consciously learn to try and read faster by the shape of a word rather the letters in the word. It’s called the “bouma shape”

[-]

tikhonjelvis@reddit

haha, I read it exactly the same way at first

[-]

Extension_Juice_9889@reddit

Was going to say this exact thing. Also clearly owes a debt to giugiaro's own Maserati concept from the 70s

[-]

ralph442000@reddit

I was surprised to see it’s a new car. I expected it to be a concept car from the ‘70’s with that style and how the door opens. I still think it’s pretty damn cool though.

[-]

GreggAlan@reddit

Yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehRJcFYJ0Bk

glytxh@reddit

Those old geometric stylings have been all the rage for the last five years, and that design language has really embedded into current visual trends.

We live in a weird moment in time where visual language has turned into a smouldering pot of the past few centuries of artistic influence. Genres, eras and trends are becoming increasingly overlapped and increasingly influencing each other.

[-]

iAmSamFromWSB@reddit

That seems like a dressed up way of saying this decade lacks a unique imprint of design and instead pulls from previous decades, not centuries. In a way, lacking originality and authenticity. I am digging the 80’s rehash, but the return of the mullet marks the end of times and rise of stupidity.

[-]

glytxh@reddit

I think any era’s unique identity only really becomes obvious in retrospect.

Lived through the 90s, 00, and 10s, and I would ever say that it ever felt ‘distinct’ at the moment.

I won’t deny that we’re stuck in a massively commodified nostalgia loop though, and 60 years of that process has kinda boiled into the weird soup we’re currently living in.

We’re only halfway through the current decade, and shit’s getting spicy. Art’s gonna (and already has) pick up on this massive cultural shift.

[-]

iAmSamFromWSB@reddit

How would you retrospectively characterize the unique style elements of the 2010’s that stood out from previous decades?

[-]

BestMillimeter18@reddit

Looks like a Dome Zero combined with a Pantera

[-]

AbelardLuvsHeloise@reddit

Mercedes C-111 eating a Cybertruck from the inside out

[-]

Amtracer@reddit

I think it’s cool too. It’d just suck to get in and out of in the rain

[-]

iammonkeyorsomething@reddit

I was thinking it was either 70s,80s,90s or now. Nothing in between

[-]

ostiDeCalisse@reddit

Splendid lines. I really like that the car can be in a totally flat shape, without any asperities pointing out.

[-]

jubjub944@reddit

I’d totally be seen in it. Maybe not, what with the chromed glass. Reminds me of the Mercedes C311. Just love seeing something that has smooth, cohesive interesting surfaces and doesn’t look like a Darth Vader helmet.

[-]

Stillcouldbeworse@reddit

so it's a 2026 one-off made in 2025?

[-]

OvertonsWindow@reddit

Do you know how car releases often work?

[-]

Onivlastratos@reddit

I agree that this system seems absurd. If it's finished now, why should it be dated as a 2026 car ?

[-]

OvertonsWindow@reddit

It may seem a surf but it’s how cars are commonly released.

[-]

Onivlastratos@reddit

Yes, but I don't understand why. Could you please explain that ?

[-]

Stillcouldbeworse@reddit

I'm seeing a one-off car built in 2025

How to make a low-poly car that actually looks good: (tesla needs to learn a thing or two from this)

[-]

MrCrix@reddit

Absolutely gorgeous. One massive design flaw though. I have a 90 CR-X SiR and with a glass roof, glass hatch and all the normal glass it's super cool driving around in a bubble. However even with the bronze tinted glass that reflects a lot of the sun, that son of a bitch heats up with the greenhouse effect like crazy when left in the sun. I can see that happening here but to like the power of 5 compared to my car.

[-]

Poagie_Mahoney@reddit

I had a second-hand 86 CRX (regular 1500cc version) without a "moonroof" (as Honda then called it) and even then that thing was such a greenhouse that the AC was ineffective both during Maryland summers and most of Florida year-round (where I went to college and lived since graduation). I put up with it for a while but traded it for a second-hand POS 98 Ford Contour V-6. Worst decision in my life. While the Contour drove nice for my tastes at the time, after a couple of years it became a maintenance nightmare (the mill was good but all the other systems needed replacement at the same time and it became so expensive. Looking back, a little extra sweating was the much cheaper option.

The old man’s still got it after all these years - damn…

Wouldn't this blind everyone who you're sharing the road with?

[-]

TankApprehensive3053@reddit

Looks something a Cylon would drive.

[-]

comoestasmiyamo@reddit

cool cool cool cool cool

[-]

So_Slappy@reddit

Very 70s. I love it.

[-]

milkbeard-@reddit

20 photos and not a single eye level shot from the front with the passenger compartment closed. Makes me wonder if it doesn’t look good from that angle

[-]

Upset_Koala_401@reddit

GMe her to say this lol, how hard to take a normal picture that shows what the car looks like?

[-]

bryanthebryan@reddit

This is the retro future we need.

[-]

LaserGadgets@reddit

My head is playing the cyberpunk 2077 theme.

[-]

ManyWrongdoer9365@reddit

Looks like the bastard child of a Cyber Truck and a Lamborghini, sweet though

[-]

DinoSnatcher@reddit

That looks amazing

[-]

SmartBookkeeper6571@reddit

Gorgeous. I wonder if there's any go with all that show.

[-]

wantdafakyoubesh@reddit

Close enough, welcome back Apple Mouse🖱️

[-]

SunriseMilkshake@reddit

I love it

[-]

MDDeGrande1994@reddit

Looks like that one Cyberpunk 2077 car which also appeared in Forza Horizon 4

[-]

Rowarski@reddit

Now thats a cyberpunk car! Eat your heart out MuskRat!

[-]

Ok-Bullfrog6099@reddit

Wow

[-]

AntofReddit@reddit

Least I wouldn't have to clean the snow off the roof here in Canada.

[-]

72corvids@reddit

It's also built off of the MC20 chassis.

I think that it is absolutely gorgeous and quite the design!

[-]

apaloosafire@reddit

pantera vibes

[-]

GreatBallsOfFIRE@reddit

Guigario designed the DeTomasso Mangusta, the Pantera's predecessor.

[-]

apaloosafire@reddit

ah makes sense

[-]

Gonun@reddit

I heard you like doors so I put doors on your door

[-]

AccomplishedSuccess0@reddit

Mexico made a way better cyber car than musk could ever dream of right here.

[-]

Cunt_Eastwood_10@reddit

I love this, but I bet the cabin gets REALLY hot.

[-]

GreatBallsOfFIRE@reddit

For those unfamiliar, Giorgetto Giugario designed an insane number of iconic cars. The list includes the DeLorean DMC-12, the Lotus Esprit, the BMW M1, the VW Golf, and the DeTomasso Mangusta.

[-]

KSM_K3TCHUP@reddit

The Golf of course being his best work to date.

[-]

KSM_K3TCHUP@reddit

He turned turned the Cybertruck into a super car and made the rear end look cool, it’s dripping with boring 80’s futuristic design and I love it.

[-]

CensoredRetard@reddit

If a Lambo & a Cyber Truck had a baby.

[-]

Embarrassed_Dog_3208@reddit (OP)

This GFG Style one-off car also drew heavy inspiration from the 1972 Maserati Boomerang which is a futuristic wedge-shaped concept car designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro.

[-]

B_Roland@reddit

Looks like it took inspiration from a couple of classics.

The front looks inspired by a DeTomaso. The overall rear by more modern Lamborghini's. The trunk and rear window section is looking inspired by the Countach.

[-]

g-e-o-f-f@reddit

The way the roof lifts looks like the old Sterling kit car.

[-]

GreatBallsOfFIRE@reddit

You should take a look at the list of cars that Guigario designed (it includes the DeTomasso Mangusta).

[-]

lopix@reddit

Looks like a Robocop Lambo

[-]

ZuStorm93@reddit

I love everything about this except the Cybertruck face. Thats a turnoff. The rest of the body definitely has big Countach and M1 vibes.

Its also so shiny and chrome.🤩

[-]

GreatBallsOfFIRE@reddit

The person that designed this also designed the M1.

[-]

DiosMIO_Limon@reddit

I think we should allow more things to have similar shapes and lines as the Cybertruck. I can understand the tendency ti compare, but there’s no sense in letting that lemon rule over entire categories of vehicles.

[-]

spideyghetti@reddit

The reason they don't is because they are terribly dangerous for pedestrians, who will basically be sheared in half when they're struck

[-]

DiosMIO_Limon@reddit

I mean, this particular car isn’t any different than other super cars, if only a little boxier. I understand what you’re saying about the Cybertruck specifically, but my argument is that other cars should have the freedom to be boxier without the relatively unfair comparison to the Tesla.
