RCA vehicle design 2008

Best design interpretation winner Pierre Sabas has worked with a new architectural form with his Airflow concept. Both the electrically driven engine and suspension are mounted directly in the wheel allowing for a high degree of architectural freedom. The interior structure houses four individual capsules for occupants. Airflow’s exterior is made entirely of glass. 'I’ve tried to wrap it around like fabric,' says the French designer. 'It allows for a new driving sensation and it gives the occupants a new perception of the outside world.'
