Gan spoke on the 'Consol-e' concept car saying, "At the detail I create a “tension surface” on the side to show more energy and momentum even it’s standing still. The bottom half of the vehicle contains a lot of inspiration I had from production design, aim to make it more neat and tidy, also showing more practical and robust feeling of the vehicle.”
