Designer proposes an electric HM Ambassador as a Presidential limousine

Industrial designer Vishal Verma has presented renders of an electric HM Ambassador which he believes is fit to be in service as a Presidential limousine. Here’s his take on the project:

There are some premium features to this creation like suicide style doors, single display, clean design of the dashboard and good quality materials that are worth noting right away.

I have kept the exterior simple with straight lines and the design is not just modern but has a retro touch. When you see this Ambassador, it’s not a totally new product but one that has evolved for the digital world.

The front is simple, daylight opening is wide and there’s tinted glass for added safety. There’s the option of making the vehicle bullet-proof. You will see no door handles as they can be opened with a mobile phone app or fingerprint sensors. The rear wheels have a cover that is inspired by the vintage cars. I didn’t change the position of the fueling and the same spot is used for charging, so customers can feel familiarity.

Inside are four individual seats and you can opt for a lounge-like seating as well. There are no side mirrors but collapsible cameras whose output can be viewed by both the driver and the passengers.

Coming to the dashboard, I imagined two versions – one with a single screen and another with a triple-screen layout, and the driver can toggle with the number of screens as per the information required. There’s a small display that shows the battery charge level and a glove box below it to store files.
