Welcome to Cassette Futurism Lemmy and Mbin Community.

A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.

Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

Looks like set dressing from Total Recall!
Love the Rebel Alliance colors. 😏

Edit:
Okay, so it looks a bit sleeker than the cars in Total Recall.

That car is uglier than a monkey's armpit, but I guess they put a frame on top of an actual car and that's the best they could do.

It looks like theyve tried to imitate the ferrari but without a budget

If you hadn't told me, I would have put my money on that being a Lamborghini.

Right? Looks like a Countach with a body kit

Turning is so 1960’s

Or changing wheels.

Where we’re going, we don’t take turns

This is so goddamn cool

How does it steer?

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 9 points 4 months ago

The space between the frame and the tires is more pronounced than what it seems in this image. You can see it here in maintenance so it make more sense: https://youtu.be/m5Gwttn2D7w

In all honesty, I love how retro-futurist looks in images. But on video, it looks like something Sir Clive Sinclair would have designed (given enough budget).

It uses advanced technology to bend pavement-space-time in front of the car when it needs to turn.

It can bank the road to enable a roll and pitch maneuver instead of the regular front wheel yaw maneuver that most β€œsteering” vehicles use to change direction.

Deutsche Bahn?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I would drive the fuck out of this! Quick, someone loan me a few million dollars so I can buy one!

"Make it like our competitors Countash, but even more cassetty!"

  • Enzo Ferrari, probably

Was my #1 favorite car in my Matchbox / Hot Wheels cars as a kid.

Rad!

If that bad boy runs you over, it'll slice your legs clean off and save you money on a casket.

Any pedestrian hit by this thing would simply end up half a metre shorter.
