Patented Supercar Design by Pinky Lai
Mr. Pinky Lai, an automobile designer.
Mr. Lai, who is probably familiar to many people in the car industry, was born in Hong Kong.
His career as an automobile designer began in Ford Germany, when he was involved in models such as Ford Sierra, Escort and Scorpio.
After that, he moved to BMW and was in charge of the BMW 3 Series of the E36 generation.
And, after all, the most successful in his career is Porsche, who transferred after BMW.
Designed Porsche 996 and the first Boxster
Mr. Lai, he was enrolled in Porsche for about 25 years from 1989 to 2014 and has worked on many projects, but his greatest achievement is the first water-cooled model Porsche 911 ( It is said that it was a 996 type) design.
Furthermore, in addition to the first water-cooled Porsche 911, the first Porsche Boxster was also worked on. Besides, I am also involved in Cayman, Cayenne and so on.
Speaking of those who have been in charge of designing the first Boxster for the first water-cooled Porsche 911, it is certainly Porsche ... No, and there is no one who does not know Mr. Lai in the automobile manufacturer mainly in Germany. Maybe ^^
By the way, Mr. Lai.
If he were to think about his next career, would he still be an automaker somewhere in Germany? In fact, he doesn't belong to any German car maker right now, and for some reason he's a mid-engined supercar at the Japanese Patent Office earlier this year. He says he has patented the design of the car.
What is said to be very strange here is that even though Mr. Lai patented the design of a supercar in Japan, he has not yet belonged to any automobile manufacturer.
When I check the patent, it seems that the patent application is submitted by Mr. Lai individually, so it may be Mr. Lai's personal project ... but it seems that I do not understand at all.
The patented supercar design is a mid-engined layout, with little information other than the fact that there are refueling ports on each side of the car.
Maybe it's a Porsche 918 Spyder-like plug-in hybrid supercar that was completed when Rye was still working at Porsche? It seems that it is said.
After all, the overall outline of the car is actually the design of this supercar, which is said to be like the 918 Spyder.
Why did former Porsche car designer Lai suddenly patent the design individually, and what is also strange is why it was an application at the "Japan Patent Office"?
There are many mysteries.
But somehow, when I look at the design, it seems to come out from Nissan ^ ^
