Scion Exile
- Calty Design Research
- Designer: Matt Sperling
"The Scion Exile is designed to whisk its individualistic occupants to the
snowy slopes, sandy beaches and hip nightlife all in the same day. To
appeal to the upscale/sport crowd, the cab-forward Exile is proportioned
similar to that of more expensive and impractical exotic sports cars, yet
with a go anywhere attitude."
A clever trunk doubles as a moveable cargo
pod that can be extended, lowered and wheeled as a portable mobile
storage locker.
"Los Angeles is a highly diverse location. Not only in culture and people, but environment as well. With so many possibilities available, it is only fitting that a vehicle exists to accommodate what LA has to offer.
Scion has developed a reputation from creating vehicles targeted at a young social demographic. The Scion Exile acts as more of the black sheep of the brand family, targeting the individualist who just wants to escape, anywhere. The Exile focuses more on you and your stuff rather than you and your friends…leave them behind, this is your ride to enjoy.
To appeal to more upscale/sport, Exile is proportioned similar to that of more expensive and impractical exotic mid-engined sports cars. By repositioning the engine to the front, passengers remain cab forward in the vehicle leaving room in the rear for cargo."
