I have been passionate about automobile design since I was a kid. This independent project was an exploration of automotive design ideas, exploring the confluence of proportion, function, art and craft. Having extensively studied aerodynamics and worked in an automotive team, I innately valued the importance of aerodynamic function. I began with a series of sketches and ideas, and translated that to Solidworks via 3D surface modeling. The final renders were made on Keyshot Pro.

 

Inspired by stealth aircrafts, origami and notably, the design aesthetic of Lamborghini, the car embodies a strong masculine identity, indicated by its characteristically sharp angles and cuts as well as its bold red color. I especially found joy in the disruption, reunion and correspondence of curves, and the impeccable detail in everything from the spoilers to the incorporation of the logo in the grills at the side and rear vents.
