after an unsuccessful pitch to cadillac, mark wilson’s ‘lanesplitter’ car idea was conceptualized by designers at argodesign, where renders were made of the model. with ‘an idea of an automobile that splits into two closed-top motorcycles, or tiny SYD mead style vehicles’ as the brief and three minimal sketches, the team transformed the objective into a tangible design. the front wheels collapse when in quad mode, whereas they expand during its bi-wheel alternative. the automated chassis lock secures the two motorbikes together but can release the pair at the push of a button. with the arogdesign’s renders, mark was able to propose the concept to car companies at the 2015 new york auto show.
