Fresh Take: Star Wars Cars


Alfa Romeo Giulia Stormtrooper edition
Star Wars Characters Reimagined as Cars by UK-based online car dealership Carwow

With all the hype surrounding the pending release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that all kinds of cool fan creations are coming out of the woodwork. The latest creation comes from Carwow, which reimagined Star Wars characters as cars. Boba Fett as a G-wagon. Han Solo as a Dodge Charger “Millennium” Hellcat. Jar Jar Binks as a Nissan Juke (we didn’t say they were ALL going to be popular characters or cars). Vader as the BMW Z4 Death Star Edition. The brilliant campaign includes eight different mockups, but we’re hoping we’ll see more before the movie release.

Illustration: Millennium Falcon Car

Millennium Falcon Concept Car by Robert Kovacs


Hungarian automotive design student Robert Kovacs conceived this Millennium Falcon concept car. He does a great job capturing the spirit of our favorite "hunk o' junk."  Not only is she fast and stylish, she can cruise for 12 parsecs on a single gallon of gas.  I wonder how long it'll be before some ambitious geek mods out a car based on this concept?

Sweets: Life-Sized DeLorean Cake



London-based food artists Tattooed Bakers created this gigantic cake shaped like a DeLorean from Back to the Future for Bullhorn Live, an event recently held by the London branch of software maker Bullhorn.

The cake features the Delorean hovering in mid-air with its signature gull-wing doors open.  It incorporates built-in lights, edible gadgetry, and a smoke machine tucked up the exhaust.  It's hard to tell where the cake starts and the car begins, but the entire hood of the car is edible, as are the seats inside the vehicle.  Meanwhile all of the wiring was made of licorice.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks about this while I sit in traffic.

Vehicle: Tron Car


Via: Imgur via Reddit

A Redditor, only identified as ‘Swagpac_Shakur’, has transformed his car into a brilliant ride that fits perfectly in the movie scenes of Tron.

He wrote that the 2014 Toyota 86 GTS is a common sight around his neighborhood, so he wanted to do something to make his stand out.  Drawing inspiration from Tron, he strategically covered his ride in high visibility reflective tape, which resulted in the car taking on a magnificent appearance at night.

Lego Creation: Mad Max War Rig



I predict that there are going to be a lot more Lego Mad Max vehicles popping up around the web.
"I had free time so I made the front part of the War Rig with my available Legos because I do adult things."

Lego Creation: Mad Max Fleet



Lego mastermind Calin has done an amazing job capturing the true stars of Mad Max: Fury Road - the vehicles - in brick form.  Calin has included the Interceptor, the Nux Car, and even a few unexpected vehicles, including a mini that completely escaped my notice.  I'm praying that eventually instructions for these make their way online, because I would love to play with  model these myself... in a completely adult and mature way.

Make sure you CLICK through.  I've only posted one shot for each vehicle out of respect for the builder, but the Flickr album offers shots from many different angles.
"A mix of ideas and some more exploring of rims. These just might be THE rims for the Nux car, unfortunately the wheels holder doesn't allow much in terms of positioning of the grille.

I used to think TT wheels and holders are a walk in the park to play, but they turn out to be quite a challenge when you REALLY want to play them."

I guess this is what you'd call a "CalVan."  I wish there were more photos of it.  I'd like to see the other side.

Vehicle: R2-D2 VW Bus


R2-D2 VW Bus by Instructables user Mimaki cg60

This isn't a model; it's a full-size Volkswagen Bus that has been customized with R2-D2 wrap.  Using CorelDraw and Photoshop he designed the images, then printed them on a vinyl wrap.  The whole project took about fifty hours before the vinyl wrapping was applied, but the end result is the droid every struggling touring band is looking for.
"R2D2's body is a cylinder, so our initial idea was to unroll the cylinder and wrap the bus with that pattern. But it ended up not becoming one with the force, I mean the bus. Simply throwing the original layout of R2's objects on the vehicle was the easiest way, but as you can see on the second image, even by stretching and shrinking the original layout (from a papercraft file), it lacked proper interaction with the bus. So we chose the hard way and decided to re-imagine and recreate the layout specifically to fit the van. The main adaptation would be the head elements, which would go in the front of the bus."

Design: Zombie Survival Vehicles



Here's a series of realistic cross-sections of vehicles to survive the on-coming zombie apocalypse envisioned by UK-based motion designer Donal O’Keeffe.  Created with Cinema 4D’s Physical Renderer, the series features highly detailed designs feature everyday vehicles turned into zombie killing machines, equipped with all the supplies you’d need to survive an apocalypse.

The tiny contents inside the vehicles were modeled and textured by the designer, aside from a few of the more complex items (i.e. guns), which he purchased. Most of the actual cars were also modeled by O'Keeffe.

Most of them look more cush than the dorm I lived in at college.  The double decker might be an upgrade on my current accommodation, if O'Keeffe would only add in a shower.  However, I find the lack of gun turrets disturbing.
"I wanted to create a narrative for each vehicle, to create a character or characters that live, drive and survive. So I placed objects that I thought first would be necessary for survival (water, petrol, food, weapons) and then I started to populate the interiors with personal objects that I felt would be important to the characters in a life or death situation —photographs, books, rosary beads etc. I also wanted to put some small detailed textures somewhere on the vehicles—blood stains, scrawled writings, pop culture designs, etc"

Photography: Disintegrating



Photographer Fabian Oefner dismantles each car completely, from the body shell to the smallest screws, then photographs them piece by piece in a specific position to obtain the illusion of an exploding car.
