Future Ferrari
 
 
Article
If Luke Skywalker drove a Ferrari it would look something like this.

Designer Iman Maghsoudi has come up with an out-of-this-world concept for a futuristic Ferrari Monza.

And if a normal Italian supercar turns heads while driving down a high street, imagine the reaction to this spaceship-style motor.

Amazingly the car is designed to change shape once it reaches a predetermined speed in order to cope with the velocity.

While most cars use aerodynamics to keep the wheels stuck to the ground, designer Maghsoudi has taken a radically different view.

Once you reach a predetermined speed, an onboard computer changes the car's aerodynamic profile, using winglets called canards in front of the front wheels to create lift, thus reducing friction and drag.

In most cases, such 'car' would be called a plane, but with the Monza ground effects come into play to keep it on terra firma.
