It's not a real tribute to David Bowie unless it periodically changes, perfectly, and by doing so changes the definition of perfection.

 

[doblocruiser]

Just wow

 

[NFSCARBON1]

Can still see an awful lot of GT by Citroën in it. Just a shame it's just a design study and not a working car. That'd be something special.

Bowie is an amazing singer but I wouldn’t want to touch this one with a ten foot pole.

 

[Milouse]

I'd like to see production cars with asymmetrical design.

 

[Moby45]

Aweful. It makes me want to cry.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I think that is a pretty awful looking machine.

 

[vrossi]

When u run outa car design ideas...

 

[Auditore]

It looks unfinished but with some work this could be a pretty sweet VGT

 

[zeptrans]

Aaarf... I hope it's only a concept car tribute.

Don't want to see an interpretation of Bowie into a car (good or not).

David Bowie would be turning in his grave.

 

[Leggacy]

Shouldn’t the left and right headlights be different colours?

 

[TexRex]

David Bowie would be turning in his grave.

Would he? I can appreciate that you don't like it, and frankly I don't either, but given that it's 3D printed, the prospect of always crashing in the same car just might be less expensive than usual.

I see what you did there. However, Bowie didn't actually have heterochromia (pity, because I do, albeit a mild case, and I'd love to have such a connection) but a permanently dilated pupil.

Why would you wish for something so cruel?

Yes I know his was due to an accident, but his eyes were a slightly different colour.

In addition, everything I've read indicates that he had two light blue eyes.

That said, his left may have appeared a darker blue as a result of the dilated pupil and the effect it had on light hitting the surrounding iris. Not only that but, a larger pupil is undoubtedly that much more subject to red-eye when photographed.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Well, I guess I can't say it doesn't look interesting, even though it's too contemporary art-ish for my taste.

 

[Ace Carrera]

It looks like a mummy.

 

[Arkanjel72]

I guess its OK as a piece of art. Not so much as a functional vehicle.

 

[Ayby]

It looks like a mummy.

...Tribute car for Boris Karloff, then?

 

[kikie]

David Bowie is dead? I didn't know that. (whoops)

 

[VXR]

Is it called the Saviour Machine?

It's dreadful and not at all Bowie.
