The Testa d’Oro is a one-of-a-kind land-speed record car created in 1989 by German designer Luigi Colani in collaboration with tuning firm Lotec.  Luigi Colani was the most radical industrial designer of the 20th century — a Swiss-born visionary who believed that nature's aerodynamic forms were superior to anything a human engineer could devise.  The Testa D'Oro was conceived as a speed record attempt car. Colani's biomorphic design — all flowing curves, no sharp edges, no concessions to convention — was intended to slip through air with minimal resistance. Lotec's engineering made it real.
