Fantastic Plastic Sparks Freaky Future Designs

Here at Autoblog we are flat-out fascinated by concept cars, the wilder the better. The design shown above is one of the award winners in the Royal College of Art's recent "PLASTicon" project, sponsored by GE Plastics (the creators of lexan and other wonder materials).

As you might expect, the creative use of plastics was one of the contest themes, and the creations of the winning "Material icons" team certainly fill the bill. Ana Zadnik's pictured concept vehicle is envisioned as a plastic form stretched over a flexing metal structure that allows customers to spec the length of their vehicle to suit their needs.
