Thesis Project | Audi Atlante

Audi Atlante is inspired from space and sport. Our target is an élite of forward looking people who want to be pioneers, like astronauts, so the idea behind this project is to approach the space explorations as a new sport.
The car is designed as a space suit that perfectly fits. The fabric opens up to reveal the cockpit and let the passengers get in, then it closes around the figures and lifts itself behind their heads.
We have kept a pure and simple shape to give the feeling of a spaceship, while the main division has been created by the transition from the fabric to the metal parts.
