Overall vehicle concept and development of the full carbon exterior

A spectacular project for which we were responsible for the overall concept and were able to apply our engineering expertise in nearly all areas:

  • Project coordination for the body and exterior

  • Technical concept and implementation of the full carbon exterior, including all connections

  • Body extensions and exterior development in CAD

  • Design and development of all components and production molds in CAD

  • Consultation and design regarding homologation regulations

Vehicle conversions and modifications including homologation support up to type approval or vehicle registration by the technical service.

ETA 02 Convertible

Single piece or small series – we bring special ideas such as the homage to the BMW 2002 to the road

Developing a custom carbon fiber exterior in retro look for a modern convertible and bringing it to the road as an approved small-series production?

​

With the ETA 02 Convertible, we have turned this idea into reality for Everytimer Automobile.

​

The following work packages were required to complete the first prototype:

  • 3D Scanning of the donor vehicle

  • Modeling Class-A surfaces in 3D from 2D design templates

  • Conceptualizing and implementing all bodywork connections

  • Analyzing and adapting hinge kinematics

  • Comprehensive component design

  • Tool design and mold making
