Project Zora: A New Era for Performance EVs Rimac is known for pushing the boundaries of electric mobility, blending innovation with world-class performance. Project Zora continues that legacy as Rimac’s first four-seater performance car—a sleek, all-electric shooting brake designed for both speed and practicality. With integrated wind turbine technology that generates electricity while driving, Zora enhances efficiency without sacrificing power. It’s a bold step toward a smarter, more sustainable future—true to Rimac’s vision of redefining the performance car for the electric age.

The year is 2065, and humanity has arrived at an avoidable fate—one it imposed upon itself. Entire regions have become uninhabitable; our bodies cannot cope with unbearable conditions. No matter how much we sweat, our cores are far too hot. However, within these hellscapes, there are vestiges protecting monuments of immense importance to humanity. Although the climate is beyond repair, we can preserve what remains. Spanning across the vast deserts of the Arabian Peninsula is a network connecting the habitable areas to the cultural sites through lethal hotspots. Braving the heat is the Lexus LO, the Lexus Long-range Overlander. Traversing the network, it shields its occupants from solar radiation, allowing them to reach the sites that bring them identity and unity as a people.

Based in a fictional Science-Fiction scenario in 2060, PEUGEOT SHIRO is a machine for Carbon Capture focusing on regeneration, sustainability and user wellbeing. During journeys between facilities, SHIRO transforms carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into solid carbon, used for 3D printing infrastructure, vehicles, cybernetic implants, and terraforming. Climate change and resource scarcity have degraded the biosphere, causing the environment to collapse and making the world unsuitable for humans, who need Gene Therapy to survive. Society has clustered into concentrated, secure facilities far apart from each other, and is divided between those who indulge in cognitive and physical enhancements, and those who choose to preserve themselves and contribute to the planet’s regeneration. SHIRO helps address the ongoing climate crisis and the societal issues surrounding eugenics.

F.R.O.G, an acronym for future racing oxygen generation, is my vision for an eco friendly racing event taking place in the year 2O5O. With F.R.O.G, I am proposing a worldwide motorsport event that is not just sustainable but actively rejuvenating the environment via carbon extraction, accelerated reforestation, and biofuel sourced from a portion of the trees grown at the venues, playing a role in tackling global warming.

My project is names Porsche Finden (German for find). This vehicle has been specifically designed for the purpose of commuting across the desert to archaeology sites. The reason we need a vehicle for this; History shows that the Sahara Desert used to be much more diverse and humid landscape. It was home to rivers, lakes, and a variety of vegetation, supporting hunter-gatherers and eventually pastoralist. Below the sand hides forgotten history we must recover. I have sculpted my design out of clay as a first step toward a career in clay design. I love the creative process of turning a 2d sketch into a physical 3d form using this traditional hand on approach.

The Centris Z celebrates 100 years of Nissan with a return to pure driving. Honouring the Z’s legacy of connection and budget performance, it features a long bonnet, wraparound windows with simple yet striking forms. As a nod to tradition, it wears heritage yellow paint but adds a modern twist with an electrified hybrid powertrain. The Centis Z is built for the track and sculpted for the streets; it rejects overcomplicated designs in favour of an analogue-inspired soul with modern comforts. It’s a true evolution of the Nissan Z being felt not just driven.

My final major project named the “Honda Triton†was undertaking the task of designing a safer solution to enjoying the thrilling and one-off experience of riding a motorcycle. This began by identifying key areas of what makes riding a motorcycle dangerous such as the exposure of the rider to harsh forces that are present in the event of a crash/collision. From then, I was able to focus on designing the incorporation of impact protection directly into the vehicle’s design as well as preserving the feeling of exposure to the elements and the ability to lean into the corners, both unique sensations to the motorcycle experience. I aim to be working in automotive design industry, although I am passionate for all types of design.

What makes MINI… MINI? In 1959, it meant being on the cutting edge of FWD and packaging technology. Driving a MINI meant driving the most advanced small car on the road. Fast forward to now, though, and the brand is merely retro bodies atop crushingly conventional platforms. There’s no aspect in which a MINI is leading the way.
Y75 brings the brand back on course through an innovative hydrogen powertrain and a world-first material for the body: the sustainable, ultra-strong and ultra-light Galvorn. Just the ticket to turn hydrogen power from niche novelty to everyday convenience.
And the name? It stands for ‘Year 75’ – 2034 marks three quarters of a century since the beginning of the MINI revolution.
It’s time for another.

My major project is titled Astreá, a 100m superyacht designed to meet the needs of a new generation of ultra-high-net-worth individuals. With the name taken from Astraea, the Greek goddess of justice, purity, and the stars, this yacht concept is meant to embody the same status and vision. The new clientele mainly consists of young entrepreneurs or social media personalities, who are more active and value privacy, capability, and elegance over ostentation. Unlike traditional luxury yachts designed for spectacle and entertaining, this concept yacht is meant to express performance, resilience, and refined simplicity. The sleek design and narrow hull with a flared bow help to enhance hydrodynamic performance. In combination with its compact nuclear reactor, ASTREà enables unparalleled global exploration without sacrificing luxury or efficiency.
