Sub-compact car design

We plan to design a sub-compact 4-door hatchback that flows air through the car, features body-on-frame construction and a cabin-center driving poistion.


Description

2 air-inlets are incorporated into the front-cabin and rear-cabin roof. Some air-inlets are also added at the front for floor level airflow. An air-outlet is incorporated into the trunk flap. A mild air-conditioning system processes the air flowing in at all air-inlets.
The prototype will be a 4-door sub-compact hatchback with about the same wheelbase as a Honda Brio. It will feature body-on frame construction for simpler maintenance and repair. It also features a cabin-center driving position (like the McLaren-F1).
