Inspired by the architecture of a Möbius strip, the exterior features elongated A-pillars that curve into extended roof rails and then converge at the rear. The windshield glass extends in a smooth, curved line almost to the rear of the vehicle. All four passengers can thus enjoy a nearly 360-degree view.
Inside, the sloping centre console flows down from the windshield, dividing the entire passenger compartment as if to define each passenger's personal space. Everyone gets their very own sporty, ergonomic bucket seat.
Instead of a conventional dashboard, the steering wheel, steering column and instruments are treated as a single, self-sufficient entity. The steering wheel features two vertical spokes set close together, leaving 80% of the rim free for optimum visibility. A thin blue touch screen is placed directly before the driver, inside the steering wheel hub.
According to Lou Gasevski, the main interior designer, the Zeo "is an example of designing for people who are surrounded by information and virtual friends at all times." We can already imagine how the passengers will put to use the video screens that are integrated into the back of the front seats. Could this be the prototype of the "Mobile Facebook"?
