Colani is one of those people you employ to inspire the rest of the designers. He probably drops a lot of acid and you wouldn't want him to design the final production model. He does have some interesting ideas though, like the bullet nosed tractor and the integrated trailer. It's kind of a jumping off point for a more practical vehicle.

For the rest, I don't know what's supposed to be aero about them. Except the CFD one, which looks legit.
