This is more or less what Leica did by asking to Walter de’Silva, the head of the Volkswagen style/design team. He had already drawn many industrial objects like Audi, Seat, Alfa Romeo (Did you notice the common link between these?) but here he tries his hand on a photo camera.

Autoblog has pictures not only of the Leica M9 Titanium photo camera, but of the designer himself in his studio.
