Flotspotting: Marouane Bembli’s Volkswagen Outbox Cargo Car Concept

Regular Core77 readers will remember that I was obsessed with Preston Tucker’s unusual design for a 1940s pickup truck with only half a cab:

A handful of you gamely accepted our challenge to complete the design.

While cruising Coroflot just now, I came across another concept vehicle that reminded me of it. Designed by Marouane Bembli, it’s his concept for a Volkswagen Outbox, a weird and wonderful vehicle envisioned as a go-fer car for the World Expo that Milan hosted back in 2015:

I’ll cut some of the images in half so I can blow them up a bit here:

I freaking love it. It looks like something you’d have seen in Car Styling magazine in the ‘90s. It would put a smile on my face if I saw an electric version of this zipping around in a convention hall or an airport terminal.

As it turns out Bembli, who hails from Sweden but has now relocated to Florida, has a rather interesting design hobby and sideline. Stay tuned and we’ll cover it. In the meantime, check out Bembli’s portfolio on Coroflot.
