It seems that aerodynamics were not a high priority in the design of the PHUV. We could therefore conclude with scientific certainty that the PHUV's coefficient of drag is equivalent to that of a brick.![]()

Hello everyone, my name is John Carlos. I've been following this thread for a long time now. Just recently a British supercar was launched- the Keating SKR. They say that the body styling was created by a Filipino. I think if we can tap this pinoy designer, the PHUV project can benefit specially with the styling.
Here's some links to their website.

Guess what? A simple research shows the Keating SKR was designed by Lagangan Automobile Designs, which is based right here in Manila.

Since the email addy used is cadcollaboration.com, my guess is that Lagangan Automobile Designs is also based in Taguig.
*dprox - possible for you to initiate the contact?
*carrora - thanks for the info!
Possible things to talk about:
- Their comments (as professional car designers) about the Tsikot PHUV designs by oyil, ehnriko, donbuggy and foifoi05.
- Their design for a PHUV with flat panels.
- What 3d software they use.
- How they do rapid prototyping.
- Are they hiring designers?![]()
Sarao (Sarao Motors) and Francisco (motors) are almost like these great guys--Ford and HOnda...
But they failed to reinvest whatever they have earned to uplift and improve their products.
At least FMC came up with the Harabas, Pinoy and Anfra but was ravaged by economic downturns and government ineptness...
I hope they can rebuild their firms and adapt new, modern and better technology to cope up with the new market...
Actually, a brick has a lower drag coefficient than the PHUV.
Anyway, if you design all the curves and angles with no way of actually manufacturing those same curves & angles, it would just be a waste of time and money. So if the current manufacturing capability on hand is all flat panels and straight angles, then so be it.
parang innova ang dating...very nice...
I hope a Pinoy firm will produce this...

Sana magkaron ng car show na puro Filipino designs ang naka-showcase. The recent 2008 MIAS should have been a good show kasi madaming international visitors / investors.
The C1A shouldn't be compared with established manufacturers' vehicles like the Innova or APV. No contest. Basically flat-panelled lang ang C1A kasi. The C1A's competitors are the MVPMAP PHUV and the new Anfra.
*JJCarEnthusiast,
When will we see your designs?
Hi foifoi05!
foifoi05, one of Tsikot design group's star designers, has returned! Where have you been? The guy responsible for the wonderful Tinapay and Tableta PHUV concepts. People smile at the whimsical Tableta without realizing that it is a clever combination of flat and curved panels. People react positively to it. They don't go "Ugh! Flat panels!"
Actually the concept C1A borrows a page from the Tableta and the Tinapay. Like the Tableta, the C1A is also made of flat and curved panels. And both the Tinapay and the C1A pays homage to the Renault 16 roof treatment.
The C1A may have a bit more complicated surfaces compared to, say, an Anfra, but I think the C1A is doable on a PHUV budget. For example - the C1A curved A-pillar and roof sides can be moulded plastic (or fiberglass or sawdust mixed with resin) resting on the steel body. The steel body carries the stress. The moulded plastic parts are just cosmetic and hides the flat roof and flat windshield.

superstar? nyak!
i like designing, but never really got into minute details like what youve posted above. Been busy on a project lately so had no time (architectural btw) , and i rarely visit here, no offense guys, but the site is heavy, hehe mainipin. So you know naman kung saang forum ako madalas.![]()
back on your work, yeah tama yan, and much better if it can be applied to every panels, parang classic nokia cellphones, anytime you can change the look of your car. Hmmm it also reminds me of a toy gimmick years ago.
