" This is Future Car."

" Hello! I am Professor Luigi Colani, and this is my message here."

" one on your nose. This is the fastest Ferrari still, clocked on boost, runs 351 kilometers. It's street legal in Germany. I drive this on the road. This is such an extraordinary machine, and the front underneath the nose is a tiny wing. It must not be bigger for the extraordinary speed that this machine is going. Normally the blower is high up above the hood. That high. We cut it off from the engine. Put it besides, and it's the first time in history that we had this engine inside this aerodynamic hood as this enabled this machine to go 300 miles. 300 miles! In the rear, there are 2 parachutes to break this machine and another wing to keep the 1,500 horsepowers on the ground. This is my most beloved machine, the latest and the fastest, an American machine. I love it."

" But for all his braggadocio, Colani delivers--"

" Crazy."

" world speed records of every kind, and there is one more thing Colani is fanatic about, not resting on his laurels. Extreme speed with extreme aerodynamics, what could possibly be next."

" This is the coming monster. This car is aimed for speeds between 400 and 500 kilometers. "

" Over 300 miles per hour."

" And it will keep on the road perfectly."

" Don't bet against the professor."

" This is not even tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will see machines like that."
