KOBRA XT
I decided to combine elements of cyberpunk concept with my vision of a sports car, resulting in the KobraXT project.
The Kobra was conceived as part of my project for short automotive videos, serving as a platform to hone my skills in animation, scene lighting, and achieving a truly cinematic look. It's my second venture into this project, the first being the Meduza limousine, inspired by different themes. The Kobra unifies my passion for Cyberpunk and car designing.
I also wanted to share a specific detail inspired by the award-winning anime series "Ghost in the Shell." In the series, a vehicle appeared several times with a large red rectangle as its signature taillight feature. It's a simple element, but it's visually powerful, and I wanted to incorporate it into my design.
However, Cyberpunk is not the only significant inspiration for me. American sports cars, namely muscle cars, and Japanese automobiles from the 70s and 80s also heavily influenced my final design. I have a soft spot for 'vintage,' and I wanted to design a car that radiates nostalgia.
