How ‘phygital’ tools are shaping cross-disciplinary design | Articles

Ines,

There is no shortage of independent design studios – certainly not in Torino – and any new entrant must offer a point of difference. When Lowie Vermeersch opened Granstudio in 2011, the former Pininfarina design director had a clear vision in mind.

At that time, the process of designing a vehicle was already in flux. Production schedules were tightening and designers were under greater pressure than ever, catalysing a boom in digital tools. Granstudio aimed to address this, carving out a unique competency in ‘extended reality’ (XR) – an umbrella term for augmented and virtual reality – alongside more traditional

A tribute to legendary car designer Marcello Gandini: 1938-2024

Daily Driving a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible?

Ines,

The Chevrolet Corvette, like the Porsche 911, is renowned for its ability to blend the requirements of sports-car styling and handling with a modicum of practicality so that it can be used as a daily driver and for weekend getaways for two.

I’ve had the good fortune to track test each iteration of the mid-engine eighth-generation (C8) Corvette, including the base Stingraythe track-focused Z06and the hybrid-electric E-Ray. These drives have included a sampling of highway miles, but there was no chance for an overnight road trip, so I’ve now put the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible to
