People are beginning to see their own potential at designing the future we all want to live in. Take the designer at Ferrari for instance. He create the Ferrari of the future, and boy would I like a ride in that sweet thing. Ferrari knows that space travel is going to be fast...and they want a piece of it. Manzoni is no fool. He knows whats possible and he gifted us with a glimpse at our future. If big businesses like Ferrari are taking UFOs and space travel seriously, shouldn't NASA and their old school rockets be doing the same? SCW
News states:
Flavio Manzoni is credited with some of the most extreme designs to come out of Ferrari in recent memory — including the LaFerrari, F12berlinetta, and FXX K — but all of those pale in comparison to the latest creation to come out of his sketchbook.
In fact, it's not a car at all: Manzoni took a break from styling some of the most beautiful vehicles on the planet to sketch his vision for a spacecraft of the future, lithe and fully chromed-out, just as you'd expect any good sci-fi spacecraft to be. It turns out that he's had an obsession with UFOs since childhood, and there's no shortage of UFO inspiration here — if there's an aircraft, shuttle, or rocket that exists today that looks anything like it, I don't know what it is.
Form Trends has some good quotes (and more renders) from Manzoni on his inspirations for the craft. It may not feed into any Ferrari projects in the next few years, but in the next thousand? More likely.
