• eXtremes: Lightweight Elegance for Extreme Conditions


  ‘No millionaire’s cash can do away with a short driving season and a dismal roads network…’


  The target market area for my final work is Russia, but the extreme conditions present there (cold and heat, bad roads, noise and pollution, criminality) can occur in the future in any part of the world due to climate change and growing populations. Luxury of both space and security is offered in this new type of a vehicle combining new technologies and materials.
