Leticia Bonjorno turns Nissan Frontier into a ‘beast’

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Revealed at the Buenos Aires Motor Show in June, the Nissan Frontier Attack Concept has earned the nickname "the Beast."
With bold graphics and intense colors, the new concept vehicle leaves no doubt as to its provocative instincts. The inspiration for the design came from Leticia Bonjorno, a 26-year-old automotive stylist at Nissan Design America Rio.
"This car is above all a design exercise in terms of color and trim, because the overall body style hasn't changed compared with the production model," said Bonjorno. "This is an example of what can be done with the right materials and refinement to change a car completely."
Developing the color and trim for the Frontier Attack was Bonjorno's first assignment at the design studio. Before starting a design, it's important to understand a vehicle's genes and design cues to make a model specifically for the target buyer, she said.
"The first idea that comes to my mind is, is it going to look like the production model, or will it be noticeably different?" said Bonjorno. "After all, our ultimate goal is that customers see the difference on the road."
Bonjorno picked black as a backdrop for the concept vehicle to create an elegant and attractive interior. The seat trim is highlighted by a few touches of color: red stiches on door panels and seats, in-dash buttons and steering wheel, air vents and center console moldings, in addition to details in chrome or gray found on the instrument panel and seats. The back of the front seats features an "Attack" logo. For the exterior, Bonjorno highlighted the car's tough off-road image with bright red and chrome black.
"The idea was to cover the car with bold colors to accent its extreme stance and robustness while showing attention to detail, because a car can be equally a beast and sophisticated," she said.
