Alfa Romeo Carabo

The Alfa Romeo Carabo is a concept car first shown at the 1968 Paris Motor Show. It was designed by Marcello Gandini, working for the Bertone design studio. The Carabo name is derived from the Carabidae beetles, as evoked by the car's iridescent green and orange coloring.

        All efficient cars will look like tesla and you will like it. But for real, they have very low drag, which is why they have bigger range compared to normal shaped cars

      Imagine WedgeTerminator. I assume they get Arnie in their universe too but better...

      John: So this other guy? He's a wedginator like you, right?

      Wedginator: Not like me. A W-1000. Advanced prototype.

      John: You mean more advanced than you are?

      Wedginator: Yes. A mimetic wedgey-alloy.

      John: What the hell does that mean?

      Wedginator: Liquid metal.

    A lot of sportscars were wedge shaped in the 80's, so the future has already happened.
