"This is a single-seater city commuter, based on the concept of traditional patchwork wrapping cloth. Three key concepts of this design follow nowaday's car trends. First is recyclable, second is the shape of Bauhaus style resembling to the works of Candinski, and last is the function of transportation itself. The mechanical concepts are between motorcycles and cars; it can be used as a fun car for driving entertainment. This model was made for the exhibitions of the study-group, CASTTEC in Hongik University."
"By making the left and right doors differently, the functions of two doors were distinct. (This came out of the shape which never looked the same in the wrapping-cloth.) I think that the proportions of a car is much more important than other design factors in designing cars, between wheels and body, lines and faces."
"This is a 2-seater exclusive off-road pick-up. Wide overall length is the key design feature for safety, and soft-top roof is for open feeling, space utility."
"This is a small size MPV design. The overall shape followed the Audi style while designing this car. Turn signal lamps are an important design element and can be used off-road driving as well."
"This is a 2-seater roadster. It is still being developed for a college project, with the doors and floor made from transparent material."
"This is a 4-seater family car having New Edge style design features. The pillarless style increased the convenience for ingress and egress, also optimising the open air feeling."
"This is a 2-seater pick-up design. The special design feature is the wheel arch. It has a short front overhang for off-road driving, and big lamps emphasize front and rear image, character."
"This is a 4-seater SUV design. It emphasizes sporty shape, reduced overhangs. Showing the rocker panel and wide B-pillar frame emphasizes the image of the SUV."
"This is a 5-seater New Edge style MPV design. It was designed for mass production based on the model of Hyundai's Galloper off-road car."
"Through AutoSpeed I want to know many people who are interested in car design. I have passion and a lot of ideas for car design. After graduation at 2003, I really want to get a job in a foreign car company."
