SCROLL

SYSTEM.INFO

The mission was pure: focus on form language and aerodynamic sculpting, not engineering feasibility. The result is a mid‑engine speedster – the Italian Barchetta class – where every surface is a deliberate play between sharp, edgy lines and soft, organic curves. Pop‑up headlights sit flush with a one‑piece hood‑fender structure, while front arches echo the Lancia Stratos. Side cameras replace mirrors, and the engine bay proudly bares its heart through a wide rear grille.

POP‑UP_HEADLIGHTS

Aerodynamic housings rise from the one‑piece hood. Daylight LEDs ride the edge, invisible when retracted.

STRATOS_FENDERS

Masculine arches inspired by the Lancia Stratos, wrapped around centre‑lock wheels.

CAMERA_MIRRORS

Wide‑angle lenses on carbon stalks – canard‑like, zero blind spots, cleaner aero.

ENGINE ON DISPLAY

A wide rear grille – a nod to High‑Tech design – frames the mid‑mounted V8 as a jewel. Twin COB LED strips outline the tail, while a central double exhaust punches through the mesh.

[INTERIOR.OVERVIEW]

RACE‑BRED, DRIVER‑CENTRIC

This is my first interior design project ever. Everything is built around the driver: the start button sits commandingly on the centre console. The gear shifter is a 7‑speed manual H‑pattern – each gear position a small circular LCD. In manual mode they display 1‑7 and R; switch to auto and they show D, N, etc. Two pedals behind the steering wheel allow paddle shifting.

The dashboard is deliberately simple: three digital dials control music volume, drive mode, and a clock. The large circular speedometer is fixed in the wheel hub and does not rotate with the steering – navigation, RPM and speed in one unblinking circle. Additional controls hide in a panel behind the gear shifter.

> ENGINEERING _ VISIBLE.SCULPTURE

Though the core was form study, the engine bay and pushrod suspension were fully modeled – a testament to surface precision. The same high‑detail approach runs through every millimetre of the car.

> SCENES _ IMAGINED.FUTURES

Beyond the technical study, Kitsune Project One was used as a design canvas for narrative-driven exploration. Using AI image generation as an ideation tool, I pushed the concept into environments, lighting conditions, and story moments that a traditional render pipeline would take weeks to stage.

These scenes are not marketing renders — they are design thinking made visible. Each frame asks a question: how does the silhouette read against neon? How does the carbon skin respond to dawn light? Where does the car belong in a world it was imagined for?

Salt Flats / Obsidian

Finished in gloss black, the Barchetta sits on an infinite salt plain — a single dark form against a bleached horizon, every reflection erased but the sky.
