This edgy bike with Cybertuck-inspired aesthetics could be Tesla’s entry point into the two-wheeler segment

When it comes to anything on wheels, I like them all to be sharp and edgy- barring a few irresistible exceptions. This bike by Colorsponge is just what got my adrenaline rushing for a speedy drive to the outskirts of the city. That definitive edgy character and the semblance of the Tesla Cybertruck influence – boy that’s downright dopamine-inducing for an automotive enthusiast like me!

Although the designer doesn’t make any mentions or hint of any Cybertruck inspirations for the design, this is perfect to go with the futuristic-looking Tesla truck parked in the garage. With a bit of motivation from Ash Thorp and enough cues from the automotive designer’s shape-shifting bike, Colorsponge add this one to the duos M.H.C. Collection. The two creative heads used the Andreas Ezelius model as the base for the build – just like some of their previous bike designs.

According to Colorsponge, the monstrous bike dubbed The Xenotype is a result of his pure gut feel, and an expression of his subconscious in the rawest way possible. The only checkpoint being the requirement to fit the Ducati 916 chassis and engine. It’s got massive rear rime and very sharp aesthetics dominated by geometric triangle shapes – both on the rear and front. In fact, it is s sharp you could cut paper with it.

All that while maintaining a very clean look and a high center of gravity. The slim LED headlights and the taillights give it a very urban riding appeal apt for those who are young and restless. It won’t be amiss to call it a ride made for the Cyberpunk world – the futuristic design certainly gives me that freedom. Certainly a bike you would want to own to make a big impression – especially in that white colorway!

Inspired by inspired by the Ferrari Berlinetta, this hair-raising EV is the peak of the past + present automotive design language

The exotic cars of the 1960s and 1970s were quite sharp in their design – so much so that you cut literally cut a paper with them (of course that’s a metaphorical statement). Designers back in that era fancied angular shapes and that had an influence in the automotive industry too. The common consensus was that the future cars were going to be pretty pointy and elongated. Concept supercars as well as production vehicles had a semblance of that definitive angular character – giving the four-wheelers a distinct charm.

The new breed of supercars might not be that pointy in their looks but still, they have that angular character – the likes of Lamborghini Veneno. Merging the past with the current future of automotive design, artist Ash Thorp and automotive CGI artist colorsponge have joined forces to create a unique concept EV that balances out the best of both worlds. They call it Evinetta, and it’s inspired by the 1970’s Ferrari Berlinetta concept car designed by Pininfarina. The stunning race car is envisioned to be driven by the Tesla Model S powertrain and an active ride suspension. Other bits of the car are adapted from the Porsche RSR – the interior in particular.

Truly this concept EV has influences of the past and the present, giving-off a very vibe that’s hard to compare. The aerodynamic design flowing from the low front to the beefy rear, makes Evinetta seem perfectly tailored for high-speed tracks, like it’s going to cut through the air and propel forward like a rocket-powered drag racer. Those fat wheels sandwiching the large motor, also reassure of superior control and grip on the corners, and the CGI movie that the duo have put together portrays it perfectly.
