Why the canopy became permanent

The roof becomes architecture

BLACKOUT-001

The decision

All entries

A roller shutter or lifting display deck would introduce joints, rattles, reduced acoustic volume and a less coherent structure. The active concept uses a fixed, weatherproof canopy with a rear service hatch and internal treatment.

What it changes

This decision is part of the active concept but does not replace measured engineering. After the vehicle is purchased, physical scan data, component geometry, axle loading and builder calculations take priority over the concept.

Current status

Confirmed design intent

BLACKOUT is being designed through decisions, not decoration.
