lightyear one

Lightyear One is de eerste revolutionaire zonneauto van Nederlandse bodem die zichzelf oplaadt en ruim 700 kilometer rijden op een volle accu. De eerste auto’s worden maart 2021 in productie genomen.

Een maand voor de onthulling van het eerste prototype reisde ik af naar Turijn. Daar bezocht ik design partner ‘Granstudio’ en maakte met de ontwerpers een korte documentaire over de creatie van de Lightyear One.

Nice job, I really like it! This really helps people to understand the design considerations behind the Lightyear One. It's also nice to see how each of us speak separately, but with the same philosophy.

Beautiful shots, music, pace... Super! Everything run in harmony. This type of things make me be aware of how cool is designing to Lightyear. Venice Film Fesitval is waiting for it 😉

Lightyear One designed for performance

Lightyear One was crafted to do more than just appeal to the eye. We took nothing for granted and reevaluated every component of the car. As a result, its Italian design doesn’t just look pretty. Every detail is engineered to improve efficiency and safety.

We didn’t just rethink design, but what performance means. We built Lightyear One from the ground up to perform well over distance. Lightyear was sparked by long treks through the Outback and uninhabited tundra on solar power. Performance, for us, means that freedom of the open road.
