Description
Exterior Design: The main goal of my exterior design was to represent the male’s wide shoulder with muscles and a female’s waist-line which can give glamorous, classical American car feeling. Some of the Triber’s character code is adopted from Stars and Stripes.
Mechanical Concept:
- Floating Cockpit
- Two independent hydraulic suspensions linked between chassis and floating cockpit so it can absorb additional vertical and horizontal impact for more safety and comfort
Internal Airbrake Unit: When the conventional brakes are activating, front air intakes are open and the air starts to flow through the air tunnel. Each air tunnel has three airbrake planes at the rear section and these planes make air resistance and downforce. What I want to show in this mechanical concept is to reduce the possibility of any injuries and accidents as small as possible.
