Automotive engineers often keep toy cars on their desks not just for fun, but to inspire designs and solutions for real-life car models.

The iconic “car smell” we all know? It’s actually a mix of over 50 different compounds, mostly from the materials used inside the vehicle. Imagine that swirling around in a caricature’s tiny, illustrated car!

Tire treads in cartoons often mimic real patterns but with a twist, like incorporating funny shapes or symbols that wouldn't work in the real world but look great on paper.

In a world of automotive engineering caricatures, hybrid cars might charge themselves by simply laughing at their own energy efficiency jokes.

Engineers designing cars in comics can get away with ignoring aerodynamics, leading to vehicles with impossible shapes that could never hit the road in reality but are a blast to imagine.

Safety features in these caricatures could include bubble wrap bumpers and ejection seats with parachutes, poking fun at real safety innovations while highlighting their importance.

Fuel in a caricature world could be anything from liquid laughter to bottled lightning, showcasing the creative freedom artists have compared to real automotive engineers.

In comics, cars can have personalities and emotions, often depicted with facial features like eyes and mouths, making them characters in their own right.

Caricature vehicle designs might include features we wish were real, like instant pizza ovens in the dashboard or self-cleaning interiors.

The drafting process for these vehicles involves a lot of erasing and redrawing, mimicking the real-life process of prototyping and testing, but with a much funnier outcome.

Suspension systems in the caricature world could involve actual springs or even bouncy castles, ensuring a smooth ride no matter the terrain.

The environmental impact of cars is often a serious topic, but in caricatures, it’s addressed with vehicles powered by smiles or running on eco-friendly jokes.

Transmission systems might be simplified to just "Fast" and "Way Too Fast" settings, humorously cutting through the complexity of modern vehicles.

In the realm of caricatures, cars can defy gravity, offering a playful nod to the futuristic dreams of flying cars.

Dashboard controls in these artistic renditions are not limited to mere buttons and dials but can include video game controllers or magic wands.

The concept of road rage is turned on its head, with cars depicted as having calming scents and soothing sounds to keep drivers happy.

Inventive parking solutions include cars that can fold up into briefcases or inflate from small capsules, imagining a world without parking woes.

Racing scenes in caricatures often show cars with exaggerated features like turbo boosters or wings, capturing the thrill of speed in a whimsical way.

Maintenance and repair in this world involve quirky tools and humorous techniques, like using giant band-aids for scratches or dents.

Car design meetings in comics are depicted as wildly creative brainstorming sessions, with ideas flying as freely as the paper airplanes they’re often sketched on.
