Designing the DeZir

Despite computer technology and CADs, the design and construction of a prototype or show car is still a matter of art and heart. Clay is still clay, craftsman still create the chassis by hand, and stylists still do their magic. These recent photos showing the development of the fantastic DeZir electric car seem to reinforce those thoughts. Enjoy.

    It’s a shame the players are not identified…I am sure most of us recognize Carlos Ghosn, but are any of the other faces in the photos now Gone? Or visiting lawyers.
