The Monoform concept car really re-imagines the future of vehicles. More than that, however, it addresses the lack of cultural relevance by the auto industry. With its unique design, this stunning vehicle does just that. The Monoform concept car embraces the idea of interactivity between drivers and their environment instead of being "alienated by the conservative symbolism applied in modern automotive design," as Yanko Design so succinctly puts it.
Designed by Fernando Ocaña, the Monoform concept car looks as if it has been carved out of a giant chuck of black diamond. Compact and boxy, its main feature has to be its transparent top half that offers an unobstructed view of its surroundings. It also beautifully reflects its environments for passersby.
