MAZDA MX-5: VARIOUS IDEAS

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
16 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

26 VOLKSWAGEN PASITHEA – INTERIOR DEVELOPMENT
28 VOLKSWAGEN PASITHEA – FINAL INTERIOR
30 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.
