Elegant, Sinister Hydra Coupe
|
Elegant, Sinister Hydra Coupe You might remember this vehicle from the film “Captain America” (it was the personal car of Marvel’s villain Johann Schmidt, the Red Skull). But you’ve never seen it in this color and special finish, with such sensuous detail. Created by famous designer Daniel Simon (his Facebook page), this 1942 supercharged V16 coupe has ten wheels and is almost 8 meters long | TM & © 2011 Marvel.Com
We’ve featured Daniel Simon’s work on Dark Roasted Blend before, see Cosmic Motors Concept Art article. Here are his “Tron Legacy” Light Jet and the inimitable Galaxion supercar from “Cosmic Motors” series (bottom image):

Best comment: “It looks like perhaps it is a Polypore mushroom growing upon a tree substrate. Perhaps even two species of rust/polypore infecting the same tree. Similar to a situation where a Birch tree could have Chaga and Birch Polypore at the same time.” (via Reddit) ———— Schlörwagen’s “Pillbug Car” What a beautiful machine! Made in Germany in 1936.
