Context

This was a live project at FCA, which owns the Ferrari brand. The design outcome is inspired by evolving hypercars and applied to a traditional, road-legal Ferrari, planned for market entry soon. The tool used to prototype the cluster interface is PowerPoint. 

Company: Fiat Chrysler Automobile now Stellantis

Project: The brief created a new user experience to enhance the instrument cluster and driving experience. 

Role: My role here is to serve as a UX/UI designer, understanding the brand and presenting the best approach an enthusiast would want: the thrill of using the cluster and the connection with the road. 

Timeline: 2015

Problem: How can the interior cluster be enhanced with new experiences while preserving the core elements of the iconic Ferrari cars?
