Mercedes Blackbird TRON

The project was created with the contribution of Mercedes at the Moholy-Nagy Art University, the title is: Hommage a Mercedes-Benz. The model is a tribute to the Mercedes brand, which represents the tradition, innovation and the future oriented visions. The project was to design a statue for the Mercedes factory in Hungary, which embodies the philosophy of Mercedes Design. The goal was the application of colors, material relationships and surface finishing.
My task set was to create in forms the speed, movement, and motion.
I tried to show these elements with the dynamic characteristics of aircrafts.
At the beginning of the project I tried to illustrate the dynamic elements in a statue. Later on, I used my experiences to create an automobile.
The project got the name Blackbird, referring to its color and to the airplane kinship. The Lockheed Blackbird Sr71 is the fastest manned aircraft.
The ultimate goal was to create a design which strengthens the feelings toward Mercedes and refers to the tradition and future of the brand. My project builds on the idea of speed and freedom. My ambition in this project is to define the speed and motion in a model.
The sporty shape implies the brand success in racing and its future oriented mentality.
The goal was to use novel colors in the project. As a result, working with Tamas Fodor, we decided to create the Mercedes Tron vehicle, because the movie of Tron Legacy hit the theaters this year. This was a tribute to the movie and also to Mercedes. Audi already made their E-Tron concept. The purpose is to show the characteristics of Mercedes with a vehicle what can suit the movie, Tron. The lights form along the arch, what emphasizes the sporty shape of Mercedes.
