02 / The Car
Polaris V6
Polaris takes its lines from nature. The nose cone follows the profile of a peregrine falcon in full stoop. The sidepods draw from the manta ray. The rear tapers like a whale shark — wide at the shoulder, clean at the tail.
The motorsport references are deliberate. A coke-bottle taper borrowed from the Porsche 919. A boat-tail rear inspired by the Jaguar D-Type. Shapes that have already proven they know how to move through air.
Every surface is constraint-driven, modelled parametrically in Autodesk Fusion 360 and validated through CFD in ANSYS Discovery. Six versions in, the data decides what stays.

Parametric Design
Every surface defined by constraint-driven geometry in Autodesk Fusion 360. No freeform guesswork.
Manufacture
Body CNC-routed from polyurethane foam. Wings and bearing brackets 3D-printed in tough SLA resin.
Testing
Iterative track testing to validate CFD predictions against real-world performance data.
Evolution
Six generations of refinement. Each version informed by the failures and data of the last.
