During my 3rd year, I did an internship at the Heuliez Design studio. The mission was to work with the Heuliez engineering team to develop a micro-vehicule for an all-new brand JDM automobiles. This was a great opportunity to work on a true and concret project with all the different fields of a car brand: engineering, marketing, modellers... The project began on March 2011 and the car was just released in 2013.

Since 1999, Buick acquired a strong image in China. An image based on luxury, elegance and sophistication. The success of Buick on China’s market is not by chance: a type of Chinese glided youth appeared in the end of the last century. Now in India, the same events is coming: the country knows a fast-growing and an Indian glided youth appear too. So, why not try entering the Indian market in this perfect moment, in the beginning of a luxury market development in India? This concept is an hybrid urban cross-over which continues the evolution of the buick design and tries to focus on indian culture for some inspiration. A vehicle made for India and not made in India...

In the context of a partnership between the College for Creatives Studies and Bmwi we were challenged to design the next generation of innovative interior racing car utilizing plastics. In an urban future where cars are destined to disappear for many reasons, apart of the population will be living in their daily life without any car and without any driving experience... Because they are less aware of «driving experience», it’s probably harder for them to understand how people are able to find passion and interest in race car... So, the future of racing cars is perhaps to become a show more based on experience than perfermance. An Experience to make people discover what the «automotive object» is and what the « driving experience » is.

This ‘‘ECO-PLEASURE’’ project was our first transportation design project. For that one, the goal was to bring our own vision of the automotive pleasure in 2025... This Audi concept is a 3-seater vehicle, in the same way of cars like the Mclaren F1, or the Matra Baghera. Because of that, every occupant is implicated in the driving and can enjoy this experience. That’s my vision of the automotive pleasure: share the emotions that we’re feeling during the driving. The exterior design takes some elements frome the actual audi indentity and past concept ( like the rosemeyer ). The design is simple, sober, almost cold. The front and the back are pretty similar.
