PARIS: A year after the presentation of the first Hopium Machina rolling prototype, the French manufacturer of high-end hydrogen-powered sedans, has revealed its concept car, Hopium Machina Vision, and offers for the first time a look inside the cabin.
Conceived by automotive designer Félix Godard, - previously at Porsche, Tesla and Lucid - Hopium Machina Vision imagines the future of the Human/Machine relationship.
At the front, the pillar-to-pillar display provides a digital landscape of information, accessible to both driver and passenger.
It can transform into a full or minimised layout as desired, in a wave-like motion. The haptic console offers a new sensory connection with the interface.
At the back, passengers can enjoy the comfort of an enlarged space and a massive sky view.
Hopium said the cabin is fitted with sustainable materials made of the highest quality. These materials have been sourced in Europe to reduce their environmental impact.
On the outside, the Hopium Machina Vision displays a notchback silhouette that is athletic and elegant.
The distinctive elements of Hopium Machina are also present, including the imposing grille that activates to optimise the cooling of the fuel cell system, and the signature lighting inspired by waves on the surface of water.
The model will premiere at the 2022 Paris Motor Show, from Oct 17-23.
