KINETIK 07 Interior

Let's start from the begining. The Kinetik 07 was the first ever built full electric car by Kinetik Automotive in 2019 built on a Caterham chassis. Both exterior and interior were designed by Kostadine Kostadinov.

 In 2021 Kinetik decided to make a complete new interior for the 07 . This was my first complete project for Kinetik, in which I had the experience to go through the entire process, from early sketches to CAD modeling and making a full scale prototype inside the real car.

Unfortunately, in April 2022—while the interior prototype was still in development—a fire destroyed our offices, along with the car inside; consequently, I can now only present the design in digital form.

 The goal was to create an interior designed around the driver, placing all controls within reach and using a high center console to separate the driver from the passenger. We wanted to celebrate the Kinetik philosophy by putting technology at the driver’s disposal, with a style that is both advanced and functional.

 An important part of the project involved creating a metamorphosis between the exterior and the interior; we achieved this by giving the window frame a dual function—acting both as a structural support and as a handle, which is wrapped in leather to provide a better grip and a soft-touch contact point when entering the car.
