Inspiration
The Brief
The project was to re-imagine the iconic Czech brand Tatra. Inspiration came from the Czech republics rich culture as well as aircraft and aero forms, much like the luxury cars from the 1930s and 40s for which the marque is best known. The brief dictated the use of a current platform so the Porsche Panamera was chosen for its shared rear engined heritage.

The Tatra T900s interior displays a strong horizontal theme and contrasting colours. This is both a nod to Tatras of old and to differenciate itself from clinical opposition,.
As with the interior the exterior styling of the Tatra displays a formal aesthetic but with more warms than German opposition. Reference was made to the 1930s Tatra streamliners and the rear of the car incorporates modern active aerodynamics.
