Meet SCAD's Aether EV Sports Car
River Campus Building 1 | 801 Rio Grande Street, Austin TX 78701
Instead of just talking about what the next generation of drivers want, Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) students spent a year creating the quintessential electric vehicle. More than just renderings, the SCAD industrial design students built the Aether and Tyr all-electric concepts. The cars are fully functional and roadworthy with a battery and motors and 3D-printed parts.
SCAD professor of industrial design Rafael Corazza Ronchetti sees the two cars as the sports car Aether about the joy of driving and going fast, while the Jeep-inspired Tyr is about freedom and the open road. Both are designed to attract a younger, reluctant-to-get-a-drivers-license generation. The battery powering the vehicles is a major appeal for this demographic.
Aether will be on campus from 3 to 5 p.m. with a special presentation from SCAD Savannah professor of industrial design Rafael Corazza Ronchetti and a local alum who worked on this project.
Students and parents are welcome to attend the presentation, ask questions, and/or enjoy the meet & greet afterwards. Attendees or passersby are also able to take pictures of the car or with the car (just not in the car)!
