Apple’s electric car still only exists in a secret laboratory somewhere in California and above all in the imagination of various talented 3D artists. Apple’s e-car demonstrates an extreme concept as a serious alternative to the super sports car. Borrowings from Audi and Lamborghini are recognizable.
It will probably be years before Apple introduces us to the legendary e-car. The expectations are growing and growing, but a presentation should not be expected in the short to medium term. Of course, the long waiting time fuels the imagination and ultimately results in designs and concepts that are worth seeing, even if they are not always particularly realistic.
Apple’s electric car as a supercar
This is now joined by the “iCar” by the Ukrainian designers from Echo Studio. Their idea of an electric car from Apple deliberately looks different. Not a boring SUV, but a super sports car. The front has a few things in common with the fast speedsters from Audi. You may recognize an R8 in it, but even the genes of an Avus quattro are evident. The concept vehicle was already popular at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1991.
The rear of the “iCar”, on the other hand, could also come from the traditional Italian manufacturer Lamborghini. For years they have been using a kind of stealth design, not dissimilar to a stealth aircraft. Curious: Lamborghini has been part of Audi since 1998 and belongs to the VW group. That would keep everything nice in the family.
Anyone interested in the “making of” the study: The programs Cinema 4D, Redshift and Ae were mainly used to create the concept. In total, the whole process of creation and rendering took 7 days.
Another concept of an automobile from Apple:
Cars are still pure emotion
Even if Apple’s electric car will most likely not appear like this, the design demonstrates the potential of such a vehicle. Apple has to be aware of this and clearly rely on emotions like other manufacturers. A car is and will remain not just a means of transportation, but ultimately also an expression of personal taste. Apple will not be able to shake this iron law in the future either.
