from Ugur Sahin) The name LOCUS means a condition that defines a continuous figure which is a curve.
The main characteristics of the design are the way its surface shapes are formed with a continuous flow from front until the back of the car. Inspiration for that was obviously the Mother Nature we deal with daily but somehow we usually do not realize that everything in the nature has somehow its specific curves and flowing lines it is very rarely to spot perfectly straight lines. The main goal was to implement this design aspect into a car which creates a relaxing, energetic, vibrant and confident feeling.
It is clear to see a curved sharp edged line that starts at the very front, flowing through the middle section, slightly curved down after the A pillar and then going back up again at the rear wheel arches to follow its way back until the diffuser. This same curve language is also applied to the greenhouse and the way windows are shaped. The front is somehow aggressive looking with the traditional AUDI grill and air intakes that are shaped very much like the headlights to create a coherent feeling. The rear section is obviously very organic with defined curves and subtle details, tail lights are designed to have integrated air outtakes underneath them to avoid any unnecessary details. With dual exhaust and fairly empty rear section, it creates a feeling of subtleness. Another feature is the air intake at the end of the roof which is designed to avoid any distracting design elements on the top of the car combining elegance with functionality.

Thomas McNamara otherwise known as Macky has been making art for as long as he can remember winning sculpting contests as early as junior high At 11 his father got him a lead soldiermaking kit Thats when art was introduced and it quickly became evident that it was to be his purpose in life At 11 he could melt the lead in a small pot pour it into molds and paint the little figurines These soldiers were often given to his parents friends The response was wild the adults all loved them As a boy this was real validation for a child surrounded by intimidating booksmart people The art carried Macky into all the art classes at Cardinal Newman high school His love for lead figure painting continued to grow during this period It was the MTV generation which Macky believes also had a huge impact on him Since then there have been many great moments including showcasing Mackys art on two episodes of MTVs PUNKd which featured Ashlee Simpson and Hugh Jackman rnrnMutt has been the label for Mackys passion since 1997 Just recently Mutt donated a customized 3foot skateboard to the Rush foundation a charity created to send kids to art school It was a huge honor for Macky to be able to be a part of such a worthy charity Courtesy of Thomas McNamara on MOLI.com
