Audi Calamari concept car brings Futurama a step closer
In response to Porsche Hungary’s design competition Tibor has come up with a ‘flying’ concept car obviously intended for the very distant future.
The designer tells us that the shape was inspired by the skeleton of a cuttlefish which gives it a look halfway between a sports car and a speed boat. Some existing Audi styling cues can be seen such as the huge air intake which approximates the shape of the radiator grill on modern Audi automobiles.
The Calamaro is supposed to run on ‘clean fuels’ but its not clear how since the air intake isn’t connected to anything and there seems to be no visible means of propulsion — or flight — or anything else!
Having said that it does look pretty sensational.

Email Beeper Watch is Hip, Restarts a Trend
There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Last time I saw a beeper nobody even dreamt about iPhones and PSP consoles, but resurrecting trends has become… trendy, so you should expect beepers to come back in full force. The best proof for this future trend is Andy Kurovets’ latest concept watch, that’s also an “email beeper”, letting you know when there’s an email waiting for you.
You’ll only get a tiny notification on the bottom display of this device and this bracelet-like gizmo is basically a watch. No phone features, no web browsing no nada… Watch meets beeper, could this become a hit?
