Winner of the Michelin Design Competition 2009 and displayed at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Detroit.

Inspired by both the American Muscle cars and the Americans favourite vehicle; The Pick-up Truck, the PHOENIX is a 2 seat concept car, that is both agile and tough. A mid-ship engine placed right behind the cabin and four-wheel-drive provides balance, grip and a low centre of gravity. The strong stance is complemented by the relaxed character of the car’s main use.
Project outcome was a collaboration with Niels Iversen.
