The Application of Animal Forms in Automotive Styling
This paper describes how animal forms can be seen in the styling of modern motorcars. Many animals are highly optimized for fast movement and this produces aesthetic features such as curvaceous forms, symmetry, wholeness and distinctive body profiles. All of these features can be seen in modern car styling. Since people generally associate animals with elegance and efficiency, the use of animal forms in car styling can lead to forms with a wide appeal. In addition, the use of animal forms is inherently compatible with functional requirements because of the high level of optimization of natural forms.
