摘要

Dev O'Nion was awarded the 'Best Vehicle Design' accolade for the design concept 'Apto Sapor' in the 2006 Corus-sponsored Coventry University MA Automotive Design Show 'Icons', at the Coventry Transport Museum. The winning design was selected from a line-up of 13 international students by a distinguished judging panel, which included Patrick le Quement, senior vice-president of corporate design, Renau Silvia Baruffaldi, managing editor, Auto & Design; Professor Michael Tovey, dean of School of Art & Design, Coventry University and Professor Jon King, directory, Corus Automotive. Jon King, chair of the judging panel, said of the winning design: "It is a project that literally stretches the imagination. It is well researched, and explores a new form of design language and expression. This model really demonstrates the potential for his concept, which was well communicated - "Far out, but not out of reach. A new field with no limits." It is also a concept for an interior rather than an exterior which won this year, highlighting its important role in car design: "The exterior keeps you out the car, but the interior keeps you in it."
