The global automobile manufacturer Citroën and celebrated French designer Ora-ïto unveiled a new concept of the car, which blends the vision of the Middle Ages engineers with the our era car making traditions. The new creation, named Evo-Mobil, which doesn’t seem to be turned into real vehicles for today’s highways (at least, soon), actually looks more like a spaceship than a car.

By mixing «functional mobility of the 16th century» with the modern world, the designer wanted to devise a product, which comes as an example of «genetic transformation,» —the ones within the automobile world.“The iconoclastic artist wasn’t dreaming about another concept car but a genetic transformation. An unusual creation reuniting more than 400 years of history, a reflection on the evolution of the mobility and the legendary know-how of Citroën,” explains the description to the model posted on Ora-ïto’s website.

“He [the designer] creates a monotypic kind, which possesses only single specie. The term “genetic transformation” is used to indicate an irreversible modification of the genetic and hereditary information. If the transformation arrives up to cells then, it is passed on to the descendants of the mutant individual. This change can get a selective advantage. This is the base of the process of the evolution.

This creation becomes by definition a vision in opposition with the aggressive universe of the car industry. Inspired by the first Citroën car and based on his designer’s competences, Ora-ïto wonders about the ergonomics of the interior of the first mobile module. He has worked on the codes, the DNA and the philosophy of this industry to modernize it with the possibilities and the existing technologies. Associated to the research and innovation department of the dynastic Citroën, he has developed a surprising and unexpected sculpture joining all the parameters and the technologies appropriate for the universe car manufacturers.”
