The ZED 01 was designed as a concept car to showcase the automotive design skills and expertise of the company. |
|
The project involved applying each of the skill sets of the company. The basic design brief was to make a performance focused vehicle that could seat 2 people and was powered by an efficient high output 2.0 litre engine. The construction is a combination of tubular steel and composites, resulting in an extremely light, strong and stiff structure. |
|
With the requirement that this vehicle be able to run on track as well as public roads, many suspension parameters of the vehicle are adjustable allowing for the vehicle to be setup to suit different driving styles and race circuits. |
|
From concept to first prototype, the project was completed within 10 months.
The ZED01 was also exhibited at the Hannover Messe in 2007.
