Am I alone - in finding many of the current designs shown here recently, to be somewhat over-styled?

Seems to be a bit of style resemblance between this Bertone Lancia concept, & a pink cartoon show vehicle.

Yes and yes.

Quite fond of that Lancia Stratos Zero concept, so much so I started a 3d modelling project based on that for a simulator - just nice to see something a bit different in a modern sim:




I fully intend to do the same (time permitting) with the Ferrari Modulo concept.
