“Who will use this?”
This consumer will not own mul-tiple vehicles, this will be their only one.
In this case, f lexibility is extreme-ly important as the needs of the driver change from commute to storage to parking.
Potential for storing items in rear is fully open to the user. Including weather proof options.

3MCLAREN Tribute 2020
USER
CONCEPTRe-invent a New Zealand racing brand to tribute the 50th Anniversary of Bruce McLarens death.
A transition vehicle.
Designed to bridge the gap from internal combustion engines to electric power for the club racer/supercar purist.
Traditional Sunday racers, old school supercar aficionados
MCLAREN Tribute 2020
“Did you know that McLaren began in New Zealand?”
‘..butterfly..’
the ballpark
InspirationIn 1966 Bruce McLaren formed
McLaren Racing Ltd In Auckland, New Zealand!!!
the ballpark I beg an this concept by envisioning a rear wheel which would allow a full variation of traction by rotation around a stationary centre point. The tyre is now a track which makes this possible.
And because it is elliptical the whole rear of the vehicle can raise or lower..increasing and decreasing the drag coefficient.
some innovation! TO START OFF...
Elliptical wheels??
“but..whats the point??”
Max traction - low drag Low fiction - normal drag

Paper sculpture form exploration
physical MODEL
Dont like dust? Chuck the cover on it!
“Hey....where’s the roof?”
This concept is inspired by the leg-endary Can AM racers of the 60’s.
They didnt have roofs..so why should mine?
Me and my model...and my dream car!!!
McLaren F1!
One of my initial inspirations!! An M8 CanAm.
In January 2010 my model was displaed in the Bruce McLaren Festival of Speed.
Viewed by ex Ferrari F1 driver Cris Amon and McLaren Motorsport co-founder Phil Kerr, this was an incredible experience.

“A train, a bridge AND an induction highway??”
Current situation Old trains
Old bridge
City split into two
“What’s the solution?”
Pod trains designed to act individually or in trains depending on traffic needs.
‘Pod’ Trains
A cable-stay bridge designed to accommodate heavy train usage.
