未来を見つめて
プフォルツハイム単科大学トランスポートデザイン学科で勉学に勤しむ学生たちが、初めて車輛デザインの開発に携わる。この大学の卒業生であり、現在 VW グループのチーフデザイナーでもあるミヒャエル・マウアーに敬意を表し、テーマは未来の 911。彼らが創り出す 911 からもたらされる新たな視点とは?

メリーナ・ミュール:
“It all happened intuitively, extremely so. I didn’t want to maintain restraint, but rather be bold.”
「911 の曲線を強調したいと思っていました。私にとってティアドロップ型のデザインは重要で、邪魔になるようなエッジがないように心がけました」
自由自在にクリエイト:
Creativity, courage, and individual exploration were the main focus of the one-week project. Therein lies the charm, according to instructor Gernot Bracht. “Diving into something without preconceptions, without being part of an established system—that’s the appeal. To really delve into the matter, to find very different ways of addressing it. Everything starts with a pencil and a piece of paper—and then by pure chance you might end up telling a story.”
ボー・ツァング:
“Cars these days are often excessively complicated and laden with detail. The 911 is an exception. It’ll always take a classic approach. So if I were to do a redesign, I’d keep the main lines. I wouldn’t want to change much. Instead, I’ve tried to elicit even more power. My main aim was to maintain the highlights of the 911.”
「控えめな感じが重要な点だと思います。911 のラインの流れは、非常に精確で、美しく、それでいてシンプルです」
ダーヴィッド・コーゼ:
“There’s an extreme downward slope at the rear of my design. The main idea behind it is that taillights will no longer be needed in the future, because communication in semiautonomous traffic won’t take place using lights. I also wanted to base my design on the 919: vertical headlights signal a strong departure from tradition.”
ラリッサ・イムホフ:
“The rear of the 911 is of paramount importance to me, because that’s where the engine is located. So this area radiates power and is where the design music is played.”「911 に投影されるのは希望、夢、欲望など様々な感情です」
「新しいクルマを創り出したいと思った時、まずは 911 の曲線を大切にしながら、少しその先にあるシンプルでありつつも贅沢な曲線を考えてみようと思いつきました」
ギヨンウオン・キム:
“A spoiler element was added as an integral part of the conically tapering rear. Plus higher fenders, because driver assistance systems could soon make perfect all-around visibility superfluous.”
