Citroen Rejuvenation by Richard Bone

The idea behind the design is to renovate Citroen's passion for innovation & design. The architectural & philosophical influence is that of deconstruction, a belief in the breaking down of common & comfortable ideas, bringing changes & evolution in design by starting again.

This has lead to polarised lines that are a contrast between smooth flowing lines that represent speed & luxury and the sharp abrupt lines that give the car an aggressive feel.

The proportions are unusual in the sense that the front wheels are almost in front of the car itself and are completely covered as with the back wheels. This gives the impression that the car is floating, which is reminiscent of the old DS.

Dunhill Car 2093 by Daniel Davies

In the year 2093 AD there are only a hand full of big cities left standing in the UK with vast in-hospitable spaces in between them. With high rise buildings and walk ways raised off the ground, which hide the dark city which is grim & violent.

Between these cities are high speed maglev tracks that are shielded from pedestrians. The contemporary, classic British gent of the time is able to drive his Dunhill brand inspired car to the maglev, where he can lie back and let the car travel the long distances, whilst the on board batteries are being recharged for his short self drive commute to his final destination.

F2400 by Danny Lunn

A ‘blue skies’ voyage of discovery for air travel for the year 2400. The design is based on predictions of future technologies & philosophies with a foot in reality.

The F2400 will incorporate anti gravitation & morphing nano-technology, which will allow the plane to change shape for different performance states.

Using bio-technologies & artificial intelligence the specification or the F2400 will be a result of 400 years of evolution & natural selection. Blending in with nature & sustainability are the ultimate aims of the project.

Audi P8 by Ben Walker

The aim of this project is to design an Audi in line with current design language but in a market niche not currently occupied by Audi. The P8 is a premium seven seat MPV.

The functional aspects of the MPV were never dismissed with the final design and have the correct proportions and capacity for its overall performance.

The design has flowing lines, simplistic surfacing all which contribute to its Audi character yet establishing its individuality in the Audi range.
