Dymaxion Car; by my old friend Norman



Norman Foster builds the fourth back-to-front Dymaxions. (only 3 were ever built)

He actually worked with the American architect Richard Buckminster Fuller for almost 20 years, so knew the Dymaxion well. Originally built in 1933, Foster's kept the main style of the car (which Mr. Fuller imagined would one day fly). The shell is from hand-beaten aluminum (and painted a glossy green). [via Treehugger]
