The carwow team takes a closer look at the KTM Project V, an electric car that aims to prove that electric vehicles can be fun. They interview the designer, Anthony Janelli, who reveals the philosophy behind the design. He explains that KTM stands for simplicity, lightness, and fun to drive, and his role as a designer was to translate these principles into a car. The team examines the aerodynamic features of the car, including the front vent and the wide grille, which surprisingly houses a radiator for the next generation of liquid-cooled batteries. They discuss the exterior design elements, such as the single windscreen wiper and the absence of door mirrors, which contribute to the car's simplicity. Moving inside, they explore the practicality of the car, highlighting the spacious interior and the potential for a boot under the rear clamshell. Finally, they delve into the interior design, praising the modern yet retro feel of the cockpit and the clever use of digital screens for the dials. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive analysis of the KTM Project V's design features and showcases its unique approach to electric car design.
