Cool Concept – The Volkswagen Viseo
November 12th, 2007
I dont normally feature cars on the site and if I had the time, I would definately have an auto blog as well, but check out this concept Volkwagen Viseo from designer Marc Kirsch.
Marc Kirsch’s diploma project was created in collaboration with Volkswagen design in Wolfsburg Germany. A three-seat prototype car powered by an electric engine. The project was created considering the visual and conceptional influence of internationally renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. Kirsch created a vehicle that enables a higher level of comfort whilst enhancing the driving experience and promoting ecological values. The target was to create a visionary concept car, shaped and based on the Calatravian motto of “dynamic balance†through the use of new technologies.
The popular shapes used by Calatrava are recognized in the design of the Viseo concept with a large glass surface area completely covered in a flexible OLED film. This guarantees an innovative safety and communication concept allowing the vehicle to communicate externally.

Why create a concept car that looks like its from Mars? Looks like the designers put a lot of thought into this one, because first glance sets this puppy on planet Earth.
The large glass surface area might prove to be revolutionary, especially with a light blocking film. I’m not sure how functional that suitcase would be – but isn’t that just the fun of these concepts? Who cares about functional when you can have pure ideas?
I’ll have to follow this car to see where it goes.
This is quite cool and hot at the same time. I love it. I’ll be interested to see where this design concept goes… hopefully not in a bottom drawer somewhere.
