Elon’s got a favorite new material. The new rocket is stainless too. Volume discounts I guess.
And more…
And then there’s the counterintuitive claim for potential aerodynamic efficiency of the form. (With more work.)

That really is a “Magic” Etch-a-Sketch. You managed to get 2 separate closed curves and 2 open curves with no connecting lines between them.

Often modern art and iconic design isn’t about the details, but about having the guts to follow through simple ideas.
Personally I don’t think the car fits my identity so I kind of don’t like it, but I can not dislike it either. I think it is a very bold move and a move that will affect the uber-homogenic car design industry in a VERY good way. And maybe somebody will have the balls to design something like this again:

No, it’s about the lack of unnecessary details, that doesn’t bring anything relevant to the design, as in…
… an old “cliché”, but so true. Adding detail is easy - simplifying a design is hard. Usually a design that’s visually simple is often technically complicated under the “skin.”
I agree.
Yes, but that’s not Marcello Gandini’s original design - this is:
Minimalistic design from 1973. Unfortunately it didn’t work (overheating problems with the Lamborghini V12) 
- so the production model wasn’t that clean anymore. Great design, though.

mhm, like Michelangelo said
The sculpture is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

I was never super fond of the Countach either… but then, once, I had the occasion to see one in person and walk around it - the clean one , upper image - without all the crust - and damn if it was not a beautiful thing.

Yes! That Lancia Stratos Zero concept from 1970! Wow…a really avant-garde and very bold design!
