Sivax Xtile concept

Sivax is a Japanese-based design company who are showing here at Paris for the second time with a 'Streetster' series concept. The design is based on Japanese anime characters and the main theme is one of overlapping surfaces and bisecting curves surrounding a two-seat roadster package.

A novel feature of the Xtile is the unusual 'double axis doors' where the front section folds through 90° allowing the rear section to lie parallel to the car body for easier access. A centre spine swoops down through the cockpit from the rear deck to anchor on the centre tunnel and carries the main controls on its side surface.

Dimensions: length 4000mm, width 1880mm, height 1120mm, wheelbase 2400mm.
