Regenerating Passion
Sérgio Loureiro da Silva
The focus of this project, which won a commendation, was to regenerate lost energy by using the constant movement of the vehicle. A kinetic axis at the core of the concept harnesses energy that would otherwise be lost, while functional elements such as the rear-mounted electric engines become aesthetic design features. A front-mounted turbine generates energy by capturing wind, and to minimize friction that dissipates energy, components between have been kept to a minimum. Windows in the lower door section and the glass roof that opens up leaving users exposed and in tune with their surroundings are meant to enhance the driving sensation.
