I'm an artist gathering feedback for a personal project featuring fan-based car designs for the world of Cyberpunk 2077. I would be massively grateful if you could spend a minute on this short form. It features several concept variations, visual reference images (for those new to the aesthetic), and brief questions to help me nail the final design. Thank you! Click here --> Form
The questionnaire is difficult to answer for me.
Especially when it relates to designs for the setting of Cyberpunk 2077.
Since there are 3 distinct themes for vehicles in the setting:
- There's the boring but efficient Corpo theme. Where it would all be about luxury cars for comfort and safety (Bulletproofing, explosion proofing etc). Things that would be a natural cyberpunk genre extention of things like Rolls Royce and Limousines.
- Big flashy sports cars for the rich that want to have something designer and fun. The evolution of your Ferrari, Lamborghini etc.
- Hodgepodge rust buckets from the Nomad clans. Stuff thats function over form, with a lot of "Mad Max" stylings from being made out of improvised parts as well as their use in the desert areas outside the city.
Each theme will have its own basis for designs. With them all being strikingly different to each other. Yet all of them fit into the setting because of the diversity between these different groups of people.
In regards to interior design...
Honestly it's difficult to quantify. Since, realistically... Dash panels make no sense in the setting (Outside of Nomad vehicles). Quite literally the most logical thing for vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077 is that instead of a "Key" you use a chip inserted into the slot at the base of your skull (The ones that everyone has, that is used frequently in both the game by V as well as in Edgerunners)
Such an integration would allow all the cars displays and controls... To be part of your own brain and shown as a HUD. Rather than a physical dashboard display.
It's one of the biggest disconnects in the setting. We have this futuristic body mod technology, that means EVERYONE has internal phones (Which are somehow capable of transmitting a video feed of your own face?), personal links (The wrist dongle) and chip sockets in their skull... But so many things simply don't utilize them despite their ubiquity. Vehicles especially (Outside Panam's Turret and later that "Old" Tank which use personal links to directly control them)

I made a concept for a truck? I had help with AI thought and I know that's a touchy subject
