Spectacular Beauty and Inspiration from Supersonic Aircraft
– How do you define a beautiful car?
According to Torino Design, a beautiful car should have distinctive and recognizable features that make it stand out on the road. They strive to create a unique overall style, with distinctive identifying details, exquisite finishes, and functional operation. The VF 7 is a perfect example of a car that embodies all these elements.
“The VF 7’s design combines unique overall style, distinctive details, exquisite finishes, and functional operation.” – Paolo Smeriglio, Project Management Department Head, Torino Design Studio.
– What was the inspiration behind Torino Design’s creation of the VF 7 and what message does it convey?
The design of the VF 7 draws inspiration from the speed and agility of aviation and space industry. Torino Design meticulously crafted every design element to deliver the perfect visual experience that showcases the beauty of the car. The front exudes strength, the rear gives futuristic vibes, and sharp lines create a sporty and captivating overall appearance.
While concept cars often captivate car enthusiasts with their pure and futuristic beauty, not every concept car becomes a commercial vehicle that retains its original charm during production. The VF 7 was specifically designed to fulfill that desire, as it remains true to the concept version even as a commercial car.
“VinFast VF 7 showcases an Italian style with a dynamic, sporty, and distinctive look.”
– On the body of the VF 7, we notice many triangular shapes created from strong cut lines, giving the VF 7 a spaceship-like feel. Could you explain in more detail about these design elements?
Your observation is spot on! Almost every detail of the VF 7 has a high aesthetic value and unique characteristics. The defined creases and converging cut lines on the side of the car contribute to the triangular shapes you mentioned. These geometric shapes draw inspiration from the design of supersonic jets, particularly elements like wings and jet engines. This design choice enhances the perception of speed and agility in the VF 7. Additionally, the rear of the car resembles an airplane tail.
“The exterior design of the VF 7 is inspired by dynamic and powerful details of a spaceship.”
– What will drivers experience when using the VF 7?
Undoubtedly, excitement! The VF 7 is optimized for aerodynamics and offers 2-3 times more power than gasoline-powered vehicles in the same segment. Its tech-centered, futuristic, and sporty design enhances the feeling of excitement even further.
When you sit behind the steering wheel, you’ll feel in control and ready to conquer any road. The HUD system and minimalist interior design allow you to fully focus on driving without distractions.
80,000 hours creating “excitement for the public”
– What was the most challenging aspect during the design process of the VF 7, and how did Torino Design overcome it?
The design process of the VF 7 presented challenges both in aesthetics and engineering. From an aesthetic standpoint, the challenge was to create a design that remains beautiful over time while still being individualistic and futuristic. Designing the front of the car was particularly challenging due to the limited length. Torino Design had to include various components like the front bumper system, headlights, and grille while ensuring optimal aerodynamics and meeting the highest crash test standards.
Ensuring a stable stance for the VF 7 was another crucial issue. This stability was achieved by increasing the width of the car by 70 mm. This increase in width not only improved interior space but also expanded the rear mudguard.
“The VF 7 design embodies the perfect combination of ideas, passion, and practicality.”
– In terms of aerodynamics, what did Torino Design do to create the distinctive and optimized performance of the VF 7?
On the VF 7, the design team optimized aerodynamics from every angle. For example, the low-designed hood smoothly transitions with the windshield area to reduce air pressure. The sloping roof design creates small airfoils that generate air vortices above and behind the car. Hidden door handles and hidden rear wipers contribute to aerodynamics while giving the VF 7 a sleek and pleasing appearance. The front of the VF 7 is rounded, while the rear showcases straight edges that function as airfoils to create the best air flow.
Additionally, every detail, from the wheels and windows to the rearview mirror, has been refined to reduce noise and achieve optimal aerodynamics.
– Apart from the exterior, the interior of the VF 7 also impresses the audience. What is Torino Design’s secret?
The special feature of the VF 7 lies in its driver-oriented design, known as the “Symmetrical Universe.” While many car models claim to follow this philosophy, they often fail to meet certain criteria.
The interior of the VF 7 showcases simplicity and athleticism in every aspect. The HMI (Human Machine Interface) interface is concentrated in the same area in front, where all operations related to entertainment information, gearshift buttons, and HUD are easily accessible. This design allows the driver to fully enjoy the sports car feeling while driving the VF 7 and effortlessly control tasks without losing focus.
Furthermore, through optimized design, passenger seating positions provide spacious and comfortable experiences, allowing them to enjoy top-level amenities in the car.
“The ‘Symmetrical Universe’ philosophy is reflected in the interior style of the VF 7.”
– In reality, what was the working process like for Torino Design to create a masterpiece like the VF 7?
To tackle these challenges, the entire design team at Torino Design contributed their ideas. They dedicated over 80,000 hours of work to the VF 7 development project to achieve the car we see today.
“VinFast VF 7 is the result of 80,000 hours of passionate design work.”
