The vehicle is based on the future of transport mixed with one of the most famous cars in the world. UFO sculpture allies the dream to the formal, the future to the technology. The idea to work with several entities allows all the «genetic transformations « to spread a universal message to the car industry through his artistic vision and new directions never investigated before.
A car that comes from the future, a spaceship on wheels is one of Ito Morabito’s (ora- ito) most innovating concepts. The inspiration comes from older Citroen’s models and more specifically Traction Avant, although in a totally different “package”. Curves have been redesigned and technology is present in both outside and inside the vehicle, a redefinition of what we knew till now as mode of transport.
