UFO Bruto Car – Orange

Back in the sixties super cars were voluptuous beaten aluminum shells, with supermodel curves, organic shapes that looked like they had beensculptedout of marble. But, in Italy there was a new generation of designers working all hours on radical new ideas that seemed to be straight out of the future. So started the era of unworldly 70’s concept cars which were basically wedges on wheels, all angles and edges with skins stretched between them. Roof heights were dropped to windowsill level, you practically sat on the floor, windscreens and bonnets shared the same flat plane. Always with a V12 beast that felt like it was screaming right behind your head. A lot of these concepts to most people are forgotten, but one became the poster on every boy’s wall in the 80’s. It is hard to understate the influence these cars havehad on popular culture, not just in automotive exteriors, but Sci-Fi movies, fighter jets, speed boats and many more recognisable forms in our lives.UFOis our celebration of dreaming big, and radical change.
