VAUXHALL is set to evolve its latest design language even further and has unveiled its Experimental concept to give a preview of how this will look on future models. The new coupé-SUV could even go into production, based on parent firm Stellantis's STLA Med platform and potentially wearing a Manta badge.
Vauxhall says that "with an ultra-modern exterior design, the Experimental gives a clear vision of where the brand will be heading in the coming years." Called 'Bold and Pure', this next chapter of the design language features a '4D' representation of the brand's now-familiar Vizor front end.
An illuminated Griffin logo sits in the centre of the blanked-off grille, which is framed by the firm's 'Compass', marked by four narrow LED light strips. Vauxhall says the extra dimension of the new 4D Vizor is marked by new hidden tech, including lidar and radar sensors, plus a camera system.
The Experimental's sleek, coupé-like silhouette tapers heavily at the rear to boost aerodynamic efficiency, with further solutions, such as aero flaps, at the front and rear, plus a diffuser in the rear bumper (which can be extended or retracted to suit the driving conditions) to boost range.
