The showcars, ID. Buzz ‘Light Side Edition’ and the ID. Buzz ‘Dark Side Edition,’ embody the Light and Dark side with eye-catching looks designed to delight and thrill Star Wars fans.
Both ID. Buzz showcars were on the carpet at the premiere of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi,’ a surprise addition to the fan event, where Volkswagen brand ambassador and star of the series, Ewan McGregor, was also in attendance.
This is the first-time Volkswagen and Lucasfilm designers are working together on a project.
Using special adhesive films on the body of the ID. Buzz vehicles, the designers created skins that convey the two sides, drawing specific inspiration from Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader, two iconic characters from the upcoming series.
ID. Buzz ‘Light Side Edition’
Based on the passenger version of the car, the colour of the lower section of the ‘Light Side Edition’ is beige, taking inspiration from the hue of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s tunic.
The shiny chrome on the upper section references the design of spaceships and droids from the Star Wars universe.
A blue line on the side, which continues to the front of the ID. Buzz into the headlights and light strip, symbolizes Obi-Wan’s blue lightsaber.
The glass surfaces of the electric ID. Buzz are designed in transparent blue, matching perfectly with the underbody lighting.
Logos of the Rebel Alliance can be found on the side windows as well as on the center caps of the rims. The customised 21-inch wheels carry through the unique design of the entire vehicle.
ID. Buzz ‘Dark Side Edition’
The ID. Buzz Cargo serves as the platform for this edition. Through ominous shades of black and red, the ID. Buzz ‘Dark Side Edition’ embodies the Dark Side.
The film is shiny black on the lower area of the body, while the upper section of the ID. Buzz is draped in matte black. Side lines, headlights, light strips and window surfaces are in a red hue, inspired by Darth Vader’s lightsaber.
The contrast of red and black is continued by the red underbody lighting. The centers of the uniquely designed 21-inch rims and the body of the ID. Buzz bear the logo of the Empire.
The unveiling of these one-of-a-kind showcars is the next step in the brand’s celebration of the new series, following the launch last week.
The new limited Star Wars series “Obi-Wan Kenobi” will be available on Disney+ from today. The new ID. Buzz and ID. Buzz Cargo can already be ordered in European markets.
