Mercedes Benz Vision 11

I still remember my dad loves the race car C11 in the past, and he will place a tiny model of C11 in the living room. It made me love cars and pushed me with the passion for setting a goal to become a car designer. Vision 11 is a concept about the future 24 Hours of Le Mans, but it will be one driver and one AI for the race for each team. The cockpit top can replace by the sensor top, which can control the car with the AI driver. Happy to finish the concept with my vision!

About

My car design journey started when I was a child. My father who is a huge fan of racing, had model cars on the tv stand. I would stare at them imagining my future career and the cars I would design. The passion that my father instilled in me has never wavered. As soon as I knew how to hold a pencil I have been sketching cars. In Hong Kong, we don't have an automotive design course, so I studied Industrial and Product Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I then studied vehicle design abroad just like Anthony Lo's story. I was fortunate to meet two admirable mentors Philippe Casens and Fred Han in PolyU, who gave me so much advice on car design. I’m extremely grateful to have had two mentors who shared their knowledge with me. I will say that studying in the RCA is just like knocking on the door to the automotive industry. I learned from ideation with user experience and creating a new type of transportation with sketches and 3D modelling. It made me want to have a chance to develop new vehicles concepts and production cars in the future with my creativity and passion. I believe I can achieve my dream in the future with non-stoppable passion even the road is a bit bumpy. Chris Bangle said that " cars are the sculptures of our everyday lives", and I want to be one of the sculptors to create amazing walking sculptures around the city and solve problems simultaneously. Bring a better life to the ongoing generation and the next generation.
