The design process for a new model is not only a very time-consuming process, but finding the right shape always involves a great deal of teamwork.
a great deal of teamwork. Or rather, it is always teamwork. At the beginning there are scribbles, sketches to visualise first ideas. This is followed by renderings, detailed drawings, also in colour, usually on the computer, in order to determine proportions and give the design an initial shape. Among many other steps, the next step is to go to the model-making workshop, where a model is then created from appropriate model-making materials. Not yet ready to drive, just a model to fine-tune shape and size. After that, the final phase takes place, where the final shape is adopted.
