Luxury
cars and the city no longer get on very well today. All the new urban
constraints now outdate the codes traditionally used: line, size, power,
functionalities. Whether in term of size, consumption or materials, modern
urban cars focus on convenience rather than on ostentation or style. Alexeï
Kehza has therefore decided to work on a new definition of luxury cars, more
adapted to the urban environment, a contemporary interpretation of a luxury car
pedigree.

Considering the different constraints
of this environment (lack of space, pollution…) his vehicle – CARAT – in
accordance with today’s and tomorrow’s tendencies, offers an innovating
architecture and concept.
Starting with an analysis of the inside of his vehicle, Alexeï notices
an asymmetry in terms of space use, which will become the basis for the
structure of his car, on the inside as on the outside. The cockpit’s
asymmetry thus gives the impression that the car is more or less long according
to the side one is looking at. This asymmetry can also be found in the way
the doors open.
Finally, taking his inspiration from the luxury codes, Alexeï has given
some elements of the car, like its lights, the appearance of set
jewels.
