RIZK Auto 23.10.2010

At the intersection of Art and Science lies a common soul: Creativity. The creativity of a beautiful form. The creativity of a well executed function. The history of the Automobile spans a century of innovation and sensuous design, yet unfortunately rarely both attributes combined. The Rizk Auto assimilates the best elements of the most seminally beautiful racers of the golden era with the material and manufacturing processes of current aerospace technology.

Transcending the mundane mechanics of mere transport, the Rizk Auto is meant to transform every journey into a lifestyle. A lifestyle that recognizes that speed and sport have form, and that in nature there are no straight lines. The visceral experience of driving a Rizk Auto; the noise, the vibration, the intimacy of the surroundings; are an affirmation of a life worth living. Rizk Auto is a statement of elegant choices, of lack of pretence and of an uninhibited joy for speed.

Drowning in a sea of sharp lines and edgy Bangelized surfaces, the era of sensuous curves seems to have eluded us. Whether the inspiration is the female form, or the weathering smoothness of rocks immemorial, the human psyche resonates with flowing lines and cohesive shapes.

This yearning for elegance has led us to one of the most inspired designs in the history of the Automobile. The 1957 Aston Martin DBR2 LeMans Race car epitomizes the pinnacle of beautiful mechanical design, when cars were still being described as sexy.

The Rizk Auto relies heavily on the long lost genius of master artisans, and has assuaged the design to accommodate the demands of a 21st century road car while retaining its inherent beauty.
