Once again the car industry demonstrates its anachronistic, obtuse, macho, fast-and-furious attitude that sadly is no longer relevant or needed in our contemporary society. We are still sold the need to for rocket cars, aspiring to be race cars when in reality all we urgently need are intelligent, human-centred cars that address real life problems like noise and pollution reduction, with a design attitude that is informed by a new, 21st century intelligent language.
Most of cities in Europe have a speed limit of 50 or even 30 Kmh. Motorways 120kmh, so why on earth do we need oversized, obese engines that generate unnecessary, antiquated pollution and noise?
I wish influential design websites like Designboom would be more critical and stop supporting/ promoting superficial, outdated motoring case studies that do not contribute to a sustainable evolution.
