00:02 - The 2023 concept has, I would say,
00:09 lightweight feature was very important.
00:12 It's an electric car, so you need to go further,
00:16 but you need to go faster.
00:18 - We decided to create something
00:19 that maybe just for the racing,
00:21 just for the really young audience from Formula E.
00:24 We got kind of inspired from how to develop
00:28 and construct all the concept from the exterior.
00:30 - In some way, it could look very raw,
00:43 but this is the intent.
00:45 We have to get rid of everything
00:47 that is basically aesthetic and cosmetic,
00:50 and only focus on structures.
00:52 That's why you can see just a shell and then some beams,
00:56 and basically everything is made of this
00:58 Lego technique, tubular kind of approach.
01:01 - The exterior color we're looking at
01:07 is trying to suggest a vehicle
01:10 that's almost been machined out of a solid lump of metal,
01:12 and it's got a very textured surface to it
01:15 to give that rawness that contrast
01:17 with the high-gloss elements of the vehicle.
01:19 - The 2023 concept, we felt it was time
01:24 to just to make something that reflected, perhaps,
01:27 the environment we live in
01:29 and the young team that we have here.
