VOLKSWAGENPASITHEA
A NEW MID-ENGINED ELECTRIC ROADSTER, INSPIRED BY THE
ITALIAN APERITIVO CULTURE. THE MAIN IDEA IS TO SIT ON THE
FRONT HOOD AND BE ABLE TO USE THE WHEELARCHES TO
HOLD THE DRINK
TEAM PARTNER: GUANSHU HONGMAIN RESPONSIBILITY:
CO-DESIGN EXTERIOR IN 1ST PHASE, INTERIOR DESIGN IN 2ND PHASE

Electric cars hardly need any engine space – we try to use this to our advantage and put it
in the context of the Aperitivo

In the end, the Volkswagen Pasithea is for young successful people (managers, company founders, ceo etc.) that have to work late and so miss the Aperitivo time, but do not want to miss the Aperitivo experience. The Pasithea does not only compensate this experience, but gives it a unique touch by being a car.

SEDAN INSPIREDBY TRIUMPH TR4
REDESIGNING A CLASSIC FOR A NEW CATEGORY
68 SEDAN INSPIRED BY TRIUMPH TR4 – IDEATION
The challenge in this project was not just to create a new design that reminds of an older one, but to also translate it in another category and maybe also remind of the first category. Especially the rather oddly shaped front with the a bit more central headlights was difficult to translate into a newer and still appealing design language. For this I did not only look at the TR4, but also other cars from the company and found the bicolour roof that was an inspiration. The A-pil-lar is also emphasied in order to be reminescent of the cabriolet that is the TR4
