The “Merak” is a project that came to life at the crossroads of the professional world and my freelance endeavors. Its design, blending classic and contemporary Italian aesthetics, vividly embodies what I envisioned as the future of this marque five years ago. What’s equally intriguing is that a specific company in Santa Barbara, California expressed interest in it, leading to its transformation into an electric car.

“The ‘Merak’ stands as a testament to the fusion of tradition and innovation, where classic Italian lines merge seamlessly with a forward-looking vision I held for this brand half a decade ago. In a fascinating turn of events, a Santa Barbara-based company recognized its potential and embarked on the journey of evolving it into an electric vehicle, embodying the spirit of change and adaptation that continues to drive the automotive industry into the future.”
