I've seen a lot of weird and ugly concept cars over the years, but this has got to be the absolute worst. It hurts my soul. The spare tire looks like a cancerous tumor. Who told this guy he could design cars?
I have owned 2 Posrche's and loved them I just hope they did not pay this person that wasted time while apparantly on some high from drugs slopping this together in the name of Porsche.
And I have owned 9 Porscahes circa 1959 - 1977 - just one look at the Cayman tells you that Porsche still has some of the most sensuous designs going, but this monkey is BO-KUNG!
If you were driving in the age of Model T's, can you just imagine what they would say about our cars of today? The 330Lexus, the Mirano, etc. We can all have a good laugh about all the cars made over the last 60 years! My Mom drove a push button Dodge for a few years! LOL
Unlike Pininfarina and the great Italian design houses, it doesn't appear that Volkov has an eye for beauty. Rather, he and his team have attempted to conceive a platform that appears to have been meant solely for 20-something German youths who wear black leather and chains to industrial/house music raves on Friday nights. Put into production in its present state, this hideous mismash of "Transformer" type body panels, a greenhouse reminiscent of an armored personnel carrier and an exterior mounted spare that looks for the world like the plug in for a hand held iron, would sell, perhaps, four specimens. Three would go to the designer's friends and one to "Smash Lab" for high explosive experiments. None would command an actual purchase payment of any kind. In short, when you let pointy headed art house types mess with cars, this is what happens. Looks stupid, fits poorly and looses its appeal within fifteen minutes of release.

Ugly? I don't know for sure... there are some aspects to this design that make it look okay to me.
It's a concept car, a design on paper, for the moment. You put something, like this on paper, then let the world, i.e. people like us tear it apart.
I like my rear window... I like futuristic designs... like thinking/designing/improving what's infront of me...
It's a thought... it's a concept... and if they build one or 100, somebody will buy it... Just like the Edsel...
