Is This Jet-Inspired Car the Next Big Thing on the Road?

Driven by Aviation: The Stealth Bomber-Inspired Masterpiece Revolutionizing Car Design

Is This Jet-Inspired Car the Next Big Thing on the Road?

Every industry has its trailblazers, and the car world is no different. Enter Jim Router, one of the top car designers on the planet. He’s the creative brain behind a car that takes its cue from an unconventional source—the Lockheed Martin F-117A stealth bomber.

Jim’s creation ditches traditional design norms for an angular, plane-like shape. The car is pieced together with a series of sharply angled panels, resembling the stealth aircraft. Even the interior keeps up with the jet-inspired theme. The driver sits smack in the middle of the cockpit, and the dashboard instruments borrow heavily from the F-117 bomber.

Router’s stealth car may seem odd at first glance, but remember, this is the same guy who helped design the Lotus Elan and the wildly expensive F1 McLaren. Talking about his creation, Jim says the design is all about sharp edges and flat surfaces, standing in stark contrast to the usual curvy car designs.

Despite its unconventional look, this car is no slouch on the road. It zips from 0 to 60 mph in just 6 seconds and can hit top speeds of 150 mph. Unfortunately, Jim can’t take full advantage of those speeds. The car lacks the stealth bomber’s radar-deflecting paint, so sneaking past speed traps isn’t an option.
