The 'Consol-e' concept car has been designed by Kenny Gan for the SAIC Design Challenge 2019 and features a futuristic aesthetic that is ready for the world of tomorrow thanks to advanced technology.
The vehicle puts 5G connectivity in the spotlight to work with the onboard drone as well as 3D projection technology to create a virtual racing experience for operators to enjoy. The body of the car maintains a modern, well-equipped aesthetic that is ready for driving both on and off-road to keep drivers feeling agile wherever their lifestyle takes them.
Gan spoke on the 'Consol-e' concept car saying, "At the detail I create a “tension surface” on the side to show more energy and momentum even it’s standing still. The bottom half of the vehicle contains a lot of inspiration I had from production design, aim to make it more neat and tidy, also showing more practical and robust feeling of the vehicle.”
