From the start of the Toyota C-HR Hy-Power Concept scheme the design team knew that they did not want to use heavy customisation or “bolted-on” elements to achieve the impact they were looking for.
As an alternative, their skills were applied to amplifying the inherent qualities of the production car’s design through innovative use of colours, finishes and detailing. Actually, the concept uses exactly the same sheet metal as the showroom car.
Exploring the diamond theme that underpins the Toyota C-HR’s styling more deeply, the team at ED2 found inspiration in the natural forces that turn carbon into diamonds and the way in which solid rock can cover up a fiery, molten core.
This philosophy led to the use of a new Dark Carbon silver paint with a matt finish to put emphasis on the interplay among the vehicle’s sharp lines and deeply sculpted surfaces.
