Vehicle Design

The design concept was Space in Time:

"The static quality of classicism is replaced by a dynamic vision, with the element of time added or, if you will, with a fourth dimension" - Zevi

Design Elements

Bodylines - The long continuous lines correspond to the lines used in Maxxi art museum where the line doesn't have a beginning or an end.

Lights - Are entirely integrated into the body. Headlight panel is a combination of the most modern illumination engineering and their unusual design made from LED elements.

Structure - Structure comprises a universal aluminium honeycomb structure (both x, y and z axis) ensuring lightness and rigidity, to which are fitted the mechanical assemblies and the suspension.
