The Aurora

The Aurora is Sean's custom made racecar that Sean developes with his mentor Vitori Morini. In our game the Saboteur, the Aurora is the fastest engine ever built and the object of Dopplesiegs envy. At the begining of the game Sean races the Aurora against Dierker which sets up a rivalry between the two characters.
The design process for the Aurora spanned years and many variations. They wanted a car that could look period but clearly be cool and progressive. At the time we were developing it Sean was known in the world as the Dark Horse so that name helped inform my design decisions. I based the body off of the cigar shapes of the racecars of that era, and the head of a horse (stallion). I wanted it to sublimably suggest a Dark Horse, and also I wanted it to visually suggest that the Aurora was the first muscle car (horse power). the blue also signifies the Resistance who's color is blue. Below you can see some of the design variations that lead to the final design.
