KESTREL ORIGINAL — 2025
KESTREL STRYKER
Project Overview
The Stryker is Kestrel’s clean-sheet halo concept—an exploration of extreme proportion, sculptural tension and road-going theatre. Developed as an original digital design study, it defines the studio’s most expressive visual language to date.
Design Focus
Unapologetic Proportions
The singular aim of the Stryker was to demonstrate our capacity for designing hyper-exotic concepts without compromises or inherited platform constraints.

Design Development
Phase 01: The Blank Page
Without brand constraints, we pursued pure emotion. The proportions are exaggerated, pushing the cabin forward and letting the rear deck stretch to infinity.
Phase 02: Form Resolution
Refining the digital surfaces confirmed our early sketches. The way virtual light wraps around the Stryker's rear haunches is a testament to the digital sculpting process.
Phase 03: Distinctive Features
Sharply creased bodywork contrasts with sweeping organic curves. Distinctive lighting graphics reinforce the car’s identity and create a strong visual signature.
Phase 04: Final Visualisation
The halo car representing our ultimate vision. A bespoke, clean-sheet design that embodies the aggressive and unapologetic nature of Kestrel Designs.
Final Direction / Outcome
Our Halo Signature
The Stryker demonstrates Kestrel’s clean-sheet approach to proportion, surface language and vehicle identity.
