An impressive racing project seen here as a scale model in its initial configuration designed in 1968 by Luigi Colani . The pilot appreciated "a position lying on the stomach, used a pair of 230 ch Mazda Walken… In the more advanced model later, Colani collaborated with the famous propeller company Hamilton Standard in the design of a new type of propeller blade with a stranger shape.
Colani C309 Colani C309
This strange machine high on its legs, which seems to come out of a science fiction film, was a project of the German designer Luigi Colani. This is a racer project that should be able to reach speeds around 900 km / h. This strange machine was equipped with 2 Toyota Wankel rotary engines 240 CV each mounted in push pull configuration which resulted in two large Hamilton Standard five blade propellers, one at the front and one at the back of the machine. Although built, this machine never flew.

Colani Biodesign Codex Show,
The first retrospective exhibition of works designed by Luigi Colani, In Milan, Italy. Colani C309, drawings, inventions, life-size prototypes and models designed by the German artist, Swiss-Italian industrial designer and aerodynamicist constitute the largest collection ever produced by a single artist with his own hands and without the help of computers. Visitors meander through art and simultaneously travel through time through its evolutionary methodology rooted in the connection between nature and man.
