Thinking, a year ago, the idea that we’d actually have a working hoverboard on the market probably still seemed far-fetched. With Lexus now delivering, designer Kevin Clarridge keeps our collective imagination stoked for more, serving up a look at what a possible Audi electromagnetic car concept could one day look like. A mix of Jetson’s tech and a touch of I, Robot‘s sweeping lines, the forward-thinking designer blends Audi’s traditional sports car lineage with magnetic levitation technology in place of the usual axles and wheels to allow it to float much like the high-speed trains in Japan. While we may not see this car come to pass for some time, you have to admit Clarridge is pretty spot on with its Audi-like look.
Pretty much, it’s an Audi hover car. No wheels, no axles, just the ability to float along the magnetically charged roads of the future with an aggressively beautiful design and classic coach doors. The classic Audi rings are prominently visible, while the design seems to have deep roots in the existing R8.
While it may sound like the tech for this kind of a car is still off in the distant future, it’s not impossible to think that we may see such a car in our lifetimes. Lexus unveiled a working hoverboard in August of this year, and it’s just a matter of time until they can adapt that tech to a larger, heavier mode of transportation.
