Linea 200

A car drawn as one continuous line, whose wheels show its name only at 200 km/h.

Linea 200 rendered as a silver coupé on a concrete terrace at dusk, its glass canopy dark, a vertical grille at each side of the nose. — Rendered with AI

The inspiration for Linea 200 began when I was 19, fascinated by the curves and proportions of cars. I always judged a beautiful car by how naturally its lines connect, which led to the idea of a continuous design line that flows around the entire vehicle, following its curves.

A pencil outline of a low coupé seen from above the front, a pencil and an eraser resting on the paper. — Pencil sketchThe first outline: the body in a few long lines, before any detail.

I have never been drawn to heavily branded cars; I believe the design itself should speak for the creation. This inspired a different approach to identity: revolving wheels that reveal the brand at one specific speed, 200 km/h, which became the origin of the name Linea 200.

The spinning wheel

An interpretation, drawn for this page: bring the wheel up to speed. The L from the sketch waits for 200.

The concept sheet in pencil: the coupé with its wheels, the name Linea 200, a looped L, and a drawing of a wheel with curved spokes beside a handwritten note. — Pencil sketchThe concept sheet: the name, the L, and the note beside the wheel, at 200 km/h the car's logo appears on the wheels.

The project started as a hand-drawn sketch on paper, which I then developed using AI to visualize the concept as a realistic vehicle.

The same coupé shaded in pencil, with labels around it: top glass dome, integrated wings, one continuous line, and the spinning wheel. — Pencil sketchShaded and labelled: one continuous line, the top glass dome, the integrated wings.

Linea 200 rendered with both doors raised, a thin light running from the nose along the flank. — Rendered with AILit, the line runs from the nose along the flank.

Linea 200 rendered from behind, one door raised, a ribbed engine cover and vertical slats across the tail. — Rendered with AIThe doors rise; the louvres over the engine were already on the paper.

How it was made

By hand: The three sketches, in pencil on paper
With AI: The four prototype renders, made from the sketches

I drew Linea 200 by hand, in pencil on paper. The four prototype images were rendered with AI from those sketches, to see the concept as a realistic car.
