First things first; the vehicle is designed and modelled by Automotive Designer Matteo Gentile. 
This Stratos Concept along with his other work can be seen here:
I recommend you check him out as he is super talented.
But BEFORE you do though;) A little bit about my work..

As Matteo had kindly provided the model I wanted to do something more creative/look devy with his design since his own studio renders of the vehicle are more than good enough. So I wanted to create an environment and to light using a mixture of sun/sky, atmospherics and artificial light sources, creating a landscape; painting and sculpting using UE4s in-built tools along with Brushify. No Light Bakes, just RTX. Done in a day.

The concept [if you hadn't noticed yet;] is based on my favourite film EVER and I shamelessly nod the hat to this seminal work by featuring it's iconography to showcase the stunning Stratos Concept.

I hope you like..
