Computing giants Apple are known for their iconic and forward-looking product design, so it was a big disappointment for motorists and dreamers alike when, late last year, the plug was pulled on their plans to develop an Apple car.
It seems the project will continue in a different guise, with Apple?s IT experts concentrating on the development of a self-driving system which will eventually find its place in a vehicle designed by an established car manufacturer ? if all goes to (the new) plan.
It?s a massive loss for those of us who fancy the latest Apple designs, but a great opportunity to imagine what might have been ? so that?s just what the people over at Click Mechanic have done, creating five imaginary Apple car designs inspired by classic Mac hardware from the past thirty years. Think of it as the Batmobile meets desktop computing.
Macintosh 128K
The journey begins in 1984, when Apple released the Macintosh 128K. The angular, off-white design of the iCar Macintosh responds to those clunky early desktops that you occasionally still see in an office storeroom or Dad?s utility room. They have that sturdy look that causes IT managers and home computing nerds alike to think: “I won?t throw it out just yet, it?s sure to be useful again some day.”
Blended with the sporty look of that forward-thinking decade, it cannot help but call to mind a sexier version of the disastrous Sinclair C5.
