Using a Golf Synchro platform and mechanics, this concept represents research for a compact and aerodynamic mono volume. Beginning from the research made on New York Taxi (1975), Megagamma (1978), Capsula (1982 and Together (1984) mono volume bodywork, here the research is for a middle-class car, with 4 meters total length, that has the dimension of a series car like the Golf Synchro.
The only difference is the internal height, increased by 15 cm, giving passengers more comfort just like three box berline one.
Orbit research goes on with the Machimoto research, and they influence one another, keeping a common feeling in the front part where hoods are similar and bumpers identical.
