GAC car culture project 1 : The Barchetta / 2022.

To celebrate the opening of our new GAC advanced design studio in Milan - fully digital, light, agile, creative - we have designed a concept-car which takes his inspiration in the Italian car culture from the 50's : the barchetta body type. We mixed it with modern design influences and high-tech electric technology from GAC China.

The chassis is ultra flat and contains compact batteries a bit like if it would be a giant mobile phone. The shell (body) made out of aluminum is 'mono-material' and super lightweight. The seats - made of recycled plastic - are suspended to the shell and weight only 3 kg : the strength is obtained by the tension on the straps.

The style is minimal and timeless in order the vehicle not to age and be sustainable.
