Coupé
The long, stretched-out coupé shape of the mindset strongly evokes the Italian „Berlinetta“ design from the 1950s. Typical sportscar bodywork brings together emotion and efficiency. It is the quintessence of an automobile, and also exactly what mindset wants to come to represent.
Modern sports cars are, however, uncomfortably low-slung, focussing more on mechanics than the motorist. They’re simply not cut out for everday driving.
Murat Günak, mindset’s chief designer, has translated the coupé shape into a vehicle fit for everday use. The long bonnet blends with the steep windscreen. The flowing rear end conceals a boot with generous stowage space, and the high-profile wheels put the bodywork at the level of the main traffic. This is the particular concept that Murat Günak calls the ‚Commuter’.
The unmistakable quality of the mindset becomes apparent when it is brought into comparison with other cars of its class and size: it is powerful, but never aggressive – exactly as mindset imagined the design of a contemporary Commuter would be.
