Wedgetastic! 

There’s not been a period of automotive design that’s pushed the boundaries like the so-called ‘wedge era’, when egotistical designers and their illustrious carrozzeria constantly strived to one-up each other with futuristic, trapezoidal and triangular concepts that looked more like spaceships than cars. This set of images by Docubyte’s James Ball, appropriately titled ‘Wedged Wonders’, depicts these outlandish one-offs in brilliant colour. From Paolo Martin’s UFO-like Ferrari 512S Modulo to Marcello Gandini’s Lancia Stratos HF Zero, each car was photographed on location at the Museo dell’Automobile in Turin, before being ‘digitally restored’ by Docubyte. Oh, how we wish the car designers of today were allowed to run wild with their imaginations to the same extent.
