The name seems to be composed of Camaro and Calamari, the result being a vehicle that combines the properties of a plane with the properties of a boat. The connection of this concept with cars seems to be forgotten. Anyway, Audi Calamaro was created for a design competition organized by Porsche Hungary, and according to its creator, inspiration came from a calamari.

The Audi Calamaro Concept was developed by Tibor for a design competition, organized by Porsche Hungary. The futuristic concept looks like a cross between a boat, a ski and perhaps even a stealth aircraft. According to the designer, the shape is inspired by “the bone of the cuttlefish”.

Being a design of the future, we guess, the Calamaro will be powered by clean fuel options. We can’t really comprehend how this car will take off, land or even fly, simply because we can’t see any propellers, thrusters or for that matter, even exhausts. 

The design is interesting, but I am really interested about its technical side, how is it propelled? Hmm, I think you need rich imagination to make an impression of what could propel this concept.
