Description:
(The APOGEE Concept car rationale)
Definition: APOGEE: That point in the orbit of a heavenly body at the greatest distance from Earth.
Apogee derives its aesthetic motifs from structural Hi-Tech architecture, Art Deco and fine Art originating from French culture, incorporating the influences into a cohesive and distinctive automotive form.
This form translates into a car with distinct styling characteristics and feasible practical features with an individualistic French flavour.
The Apogee Concept features Magnetic levitation suspension, Fuel cell/electric drive train, electric steering and electromechanical braking system.
The interior design features a cabin air diffusion system, which eliminates traditional air vents, rear seats that may face backward for rear entry and egress of passengers, overhead storage compartment, flat floor and a multi-format instrumentation.
Exterior features include pedestrian airbag system, rear view cameras, electro-chromatic window tinting, and sliding single hinge concertina side doors for easy access.
