.Key sketch. .Exoskeletal structure. .jolly presence.
.Initial ideations.
-Solar panels on the windows and side-walls -lightweight external skeletal chassis utilising solar energy as well -Lightweight wheels and an extreme all terrain stance
.Vehicle was developed in a way that the external skeleton lends the vehicle its potentially iconic character. The fabric bands at the back help the suspension system of the capsule inside.

.CONCEPT rEFINEMENT.
.Refinement sketches.
.Further development included details of the interaction of the interior cabin with the exterior including the roof ‘Roll bar’ structure.
.CONCEPT rEFINEMENT.
.The form above the heads of the occupants is sleek as the rest of the EX-T. Extremely lightweight, this panel is customizable and acts as the roll cage.
.Aggressive.
.Agile.
.The overall proportions suggest a sporty usage for the car. The slightly larger rear wheel affirms its sport-oriented stance, helping to keep the car balance in the side view and better suited for straight line shoot-outs.
.The wide presence along with the feline face add to the EX-T’s overall mean appeal. The bonnet area sports minimalistic panels exposing components such as the suspension mechanics, making the car lighter and prepared to get to business. These panels, apart from reducing weight, make the car instantly recognizable and iconic.
.Final renders.
.The form language or the split panels continues on to the rear of the car. The wide sleek shape of the tail lamps gives the car that extra muscle on the shoulders enhancing its presence on the road and strengthening its stable stance.
