the golden age of pointy cars

i looove pointy cars. they remind me of the futuristic stuff i loved as a kid. back to the future, blade runner, transformers etc. here are my top picks for best pointy cars

1980 aston martin bulldog. i like the headlights especially. the side looks kinda boring though.


i already showed this 1970 ferrari modulo last week but i'm showing it again because it got me thinking about pointy cars in the first place. this thing is only 3 feet high! praise the lord!

the classic lotus esprit pretty much rules. i want one of these.
i don't know anything about this one except it is a very pointy concept car called an italdesign caimano from 1971.

this is the lancia stratos zero from 1970. those two rectangles on the side are its windows. that's the spirit!

this vector was designed in 1972 as like, an american lamborghini. the guy never really got it off the ground. he just made a bunch of versions of what the vector was going to be like once it went into production.the car looked like this until 1996! awesome.


it's evil looks got it a staring role in this movie. congratulations!




the best, most famous, most thrilling pointy car of all is....
lamborghini countach 1972-1989. hurray! its so pointy!

pointyness is not just reserved for sports cars. anything can be pointy and futuristic. especially if it's painted red.

like this aston martin lagonda sedan


or this jackson guitar

or this foale quantum 2 motorcycle



ok, see you later

p.s. i just noticed the handlebars on the foale motorcycle. they're like joysticks or something. alriiiiiight, there you go!

this is true. points make everything futuristic. also, pointy hair is futuristic. consider the mohawk and the members of a flock of seagulls -- tre futuriste!
