The 6th term we had a sponsoring by McLaren visiting our Pforzheim University. The task was to create an interior for a McLaren Hypercar. My idea was to give a totally new driving experience, where the hands are moving differently than from a traditional steering wheel, that we all know.

By having two handles which you can push and pull, you either make turns, accelerate or brake. By linking these movements from the interior to the human body, the feeling of driving is much more a physical experience comparable to riding a fast roller coaster. It’s all about the thrill and the experience.

Starting off with hand sketches, I modelled a mockup in Alias 3D. After that I took the precise measurements and modeled in out of modeling foam. The whole model was modeled by myself using simple tools to scrape of unnecessary material, like a sculptur basically, until the imagined shape was left. Therefore my apprenticeship came in handy, since it was fun not just to design the sculpture, but also going through the whole modeling and finishing craftsmanship.
