There are echoes of Manzoni's car work here. His smooth surfaces make the Lancia Fulvia car he designed look more elegant than it should be, and they show up fully realized in his UFO sketches. His iconic LaFerrari, built with sweeping, flowing contours, has a hint of otherworldliness about it, like it was poured into shape. Manzoni's spaceship takes that even further, with a body that looks plucked from Mercury, or like a stingray coated in quicksilver.
