RYFT

As the sole designer at the time for Ryft, a supercar aftermarket brand located in Las Vegas, I designed aftermarket components and kits for the Lamborghini Urus and Mclaren 720s Spyder, with custom hood, face, skirt, wing, and diffuser designs that evolved from early sketch ideation, to digital rendering visualization, full 3D modeling, and finally creation of carbon fiber prototype components ready for production.

Sketch Development

 

This kit’s premise was to be OEM+. How would Mclaren design a body kit that’s appropriate to its vehicle and brand.

Much of the design was simply about extended and exaggerating the design already present on the 720s such as the intake opening and diffuser. The wing design used edges present on the rest of the body to scult and longer, more layered look that offers more downforce.

All the modeling was completed throw mesh modeling in Blender 3D. Since a lot of sculting work needed to be done to truly get part fitment right, all the model needed to be was true to the final asthetic and 3D printable. This file was then sent off to a prototypeing workshop to be printed, primed, and fitted to a donor vehicle.

Production

 

Prototyping of the kit was handled by a workshop in China, where my model was printed and fitted on the donor 720s. many back-and-forth edits had to be made to resolve unforseen packaging issues, exposed wiring, and structural integrity at extreme speeds.

Sketch Development

 

The first project I worked on, this kit was very lean and focused on the lower chin, diffuser, and wings above and below the rear glass. Much of the design was simply about adding to the aggression already in the Urus without being more complicated than the vehicle already is.
