Volkswagen Pasithea 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 Hong Main responsibility: CO-design exterior in 1st phase, interior design in 2nd phase
14 Volkswagen Pasithea – EXTERIOR ideation and research
Electric cars hardly need any engine space – we try to use this to our advantage and put it in the context of the Aperitivo
16 Volkswagen Pasithea – Exterior Reserach
18 Volkswagen Pasithea – Final exterior
3d model by Guanshu Hong
The finished model
The final clay model
20 Volkswagen Pasithea – interior Development
Trying to translate the main idea into a cohrerent and fitting design language all while staying true to the original concept
22 Volkswagen Pasithea – interior Development
24 Volkswagen Pasithea – Interior development
26 Volkswagen Pasithea – final Interior
28 VOLKSWAGEN PASITHEA – FUNCTIONS AND STORYBOARD
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.
Auto-pilot for a safe homecoming

32 LAMBORGHINI GABOR – NEW SUV FOr 2025 – Final Exterior
34 Ferrari New Hypercar –Exterior Ideation
36 Ferrari New Hypercar – Exterior
38 Ferrari New Hypercar – Interior
Attempting a very lightweight approach and inspired by the interior of the current Ferrari hypercar (LaFerrari)
40 BMW iX
BMW's recent quest for an always larger front grille is questionable, especially for electric cars, as electric engines need less cooling. This made me wonder, would a BMW without a central front grille even work?
42 Puritalia Sedan
A car ideation for the Puritalia brand. That begs the question, what is actually "purely Italian"? The research and design process led to an emotional, sporty and striking sedan
44 Nissan vision 2040
Nissan Vision 2040 – a proposition for the Nissan brand, for a time when autonomous driving is present but not mandatory. Inspired by the Vision GT-R concept.
