I didn’t think I’d say this. But this concept from China is just a masterpiece. It is in China they took the best of modern design, and made a concept of the future, which is very much in the spirit of Cyberpunk 2077. Those who played will notice the obvious similarity between the machines in the game (which were inspired by Syd Mead artworks) and this concept. Nice shock.
The TIME concept car, unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto show in November 2021, establishes a new standard for luxury flagship sedans in the EV era. GAC TIME boasts a refined form language that exudes elegance, dynamism, and artistry. Its allure transcends the constraints of time and space.
The all-electric platform of TIME optimizes the space between its wheels, resulting in a slight forward lean of the entire vehicle. The car inherits the aero-friendly technology of ENO.146, the world’s most efficient Cd record holder. Its streamlined silhouette and waterdrop shape reduce the drag coefficient to an impressive 0.191.
The body surface of TIME boasts smooth, fluid lines that resemble liquid metal. The intersection where the side body surface meets the rear surface features clean geometric lines that enhance aerodynamics. This harmonious blend of curves and straight lines forms GAC Design’s new EV design language – TEARDROP ON THE BLADE.
The “TIME RIPPLES” headlight is composed of individually lit LED blocks that rotate and light up sequentially, evoking the motion of ripples in space-time. The taillights create a hyper-dimensional space tunnel where the exterior meets the interior, with pulsating alternations of light and shadow.
The taillights are designed to transcend time and create a sense of space-time tunneling, opening up new dimensions. The car’s sophisticated autonomous driving technology is seamlessly integrated into its body, with hi-tech laser radars and sensors. The wheel hub, named ETERNAL TIMER, uses holographic projection technology to create a 3D illusion of space, metaphorically representing temporal transcendence.
