Designing the 2016 UTE Concept: A Fusion of Futurism and Retro Craftsmanship

When designing the 2016 UTE concept, the goal was to push the boundaries of both form and function, combining cutting-edge futurism with the timeless appeal of handcrafted craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from the De La Chapelle models, I sought to create a vehicle that felt exclusive, yet approachable. The UTE should not only turn heads with its sleek, aerodynamic lines but also convey a sense of artisanal dedication to every detail, reflecting a perfect blend of technology and human touch.

Incorporating retro elements into a futuristic design was a challenge but a rewarding one. By merging vintage cues from De La Chapelle's models with modern design trends, I ensured the concept maintained a sense of nostalgia while embodying the future of driving. The handcrafted touch is evident in every curve, from the gleaming bespoke body panels to the elegant interior details, reinforcing the idea that the UTE is both a car and a work of art. Ultimately, this design represents a new direction for exclusive performance vehicles, one that is equally grounded in the past and aimed at the future.
