Designed by former Audi designer Wolfgang Egger who now leads BYD has Design Head, the E-SEED GT concept car uses BYD’s signature “Dragon Face” design language, successfully applying the elements of a Chinese dragon into a car design, such as headlights resembling “dragon whiskers”, a “dragon ridge” on its roof, tail and seats,“dragon-scale” features on its door panels and off course “gull wing doors” depicting dragon wings. It also boasts a three-screen interconnection, a retractable steering wheel plus a “BYD heart” and other technologies.
