A “DONDA FOAM VEHICLE” concept teaser surfaced during Steven Smith’s announcement as the Head of Donda Industrial Design.
The word “mysterious” could be used to describe many of Kanye West‘s projects, and the Foam Vehicle is no different. An official image from Donda features a rough sketch of the vehicle’s side view, which gives us a better idea of a very interesting take. The car appears to feature huge wheels and bare windows. The statement for the Donda Foam Concept reads: “Donda Foam Vehicle, Conceptualized, Designed, Manufactured in the United States, Amen.”
The statement’s claims that the vehicle will be manufactured in the United States, just like Tesla, and West’s close relationship with Tesla CEO Elon Musk allows room for speculation that the Foam Vehicle will be manufactured by the automobile giant.
The name raises many questions about how the car could be constructed, with foam being an interesting choice for an automobile — as opposed to using the usual composites, aluminum and steel.
“Donda” itself was named after West’s late mother. It was also the name of West’s tenth and eleventh albums. There have yet to be official news on whether or not the Donda Foam Vehicle will ever enter into production. However, we have seen past success from the artist, from clothing to sneakers.
