experience
Within the research project, a visionary vehicle concept was developed that transforms the interior into an experiential space. At the center of this concept are individuals with their unique needs and the impact on the driving experience in various driving situations. The interior is optimally adapted to individual usage scenarios, enabling new forms of communication.

design
The vehicle's uncompromising one-box design emphasizes the focus on the passengers. A long wheelbase and short overhangs characterize the proportions and make the design timeless and realistic. The desire for privacy from the interior concept is taken up by an extremely raised color gradient from the side into the window areas. The unobstructed view from inside to outside remains unaffected.
