RCA vehicle design 2008

Sergio Loureiro Da Silva wants to regenerate lost energy through movement. The Spanish designer explains: 'It’s about improving sustainability by designing every element to aspire to less energy consumption.' His Pheonix concept car aims for a similar driving sensation as riding a motorbike with a sidecar. Da Silva has also incorporated the technical elements in the design. 'The beauty of a vehicle comes from the contrast of a fluid shape with precise technical elements,' he says.
