Transportation Design


The vehicle's final design takes much inspiration from the very materials from which it is born. Utilizing a central 'spine' made of lightweight steel foam encased in a thin steel shell, it's structure is light yet ridged and allows all major components of the vehicle to be centrally located for optimum weight distribution. The body and vehicle greenhouse wraps around this steel protecting it's precious nature.

The vehicle's overall aesthetics, however, are Corvette. Bold strong fender arches, a long dash-to-axle proportion, prominent side air extractor, and sharp, piercing nose are all indicative styling elements of classic and modern Corvettes.
