The Best of the Best Can’t-Miss Designs

We gotta give credit where credit is due. Check out some of these jaw dropping designs and head turning trends. 

The Devel Sixteen


Someone once said that history favors the bold, and that someone was probably responsible for designing the Devel Sixteen, a truly unforgettable, mold-breaking prototype hypercar. It’s unclear if anyone apart from Supercar Blondie will ever drive one, which is a real shame cause the car has 5,000hp and flame-spitting, umbrella-sized exhaust pipes.

 

Astro Boy Boots


The art collective MSCHF released these big a$$ red boots, and because people are apparently willing to pay $350 for a pair, they must be cool. These boots defy all preconceptions of what a shoe can and should look like. 




 

EVTOL Flying Machines


These EVTOL designs are definitely not just scaled-up drones. An overhyped market always brings out the best in design, amiright?



 

Cool Sounds


Electric cars are quiet. Too quiet. So the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT is outfitted with an ear-splitting shriek that echoes through a speaker disguised as an exhaust pipe. This is revelatory stuff, people.



 

Airplane Seating


Have you ever wondered if airplanes could get any more uncomfortable? Designers have finally discovered that yes, it is in fact possible. You can swap out seats for bike saddles, have passengers lay prone in glass coffins, or ensure they eat at least one fart per flight. 

 

BMW 17 Grille


The design team at BMW must have spent at least three days photocopying their butts before deciding on this classic shape for the 2023 BMW 17 grille. They managed to replicate the shape and the shading. Well done!

 

It’s good to know there really is a watch out there for everyone, no matter their taste.




 

And just in case you didn’t catch this yet…APRIL FOOLS. These are the best of the worst designs out there.
