a mars rover with rocket thrusters, made of lava lamp goo, shiny, gooey, 1950s aesthetic

A surreal race car Mars rover in a 1950s retro-futurist aesthetic. The body is sculpted from glossy, translucent lava lamp goo, stretched into aerodynamic curves with fins and chrome details. Through its semi-transparent shell, the interior churns with glowing blobs of molten fluid, constantly shifting like a living engine. Rocket thrusters double as exhaust pipes, polished chrome nozzles shooting neon fire. Oversized rover wheels are styled like hot-rod tires, partially engulfed by dripping goo. Headlights blaze like neon orbs, and sleek fins or tailfins echo classic 1950s race cars. The color palette is radiant bubblegum pinks, turquoise teals, atomic oranges, chrome silver, and pulsing inner lava yellows/reds.
