Automorrow ’89 Utah Luigi Colani USA
In 1989, Luigi Colani takes all his vehicles named UTAH to the Bonneville Salt Falts Speedway, famous Utah Salt Lake, which he rents for two weeks for Automorrow ’89, in order to break new speed records. Colani had built 13 Vehicles but he could only take them 12 to demonstrate record vehicles all more spectacular than each other. All that he won thanks to his design, has been reinvested in its vehicle studies. This allowed Luigi Colani to achieve unprecedented independence as a designer.
He dispenses during his trip his good word to designers from Ford to Deaborn, then to the students of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, before meeting other visionaries including Georges Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
