TVS Motor Company has announced the winners for its TVS nTorq 125 Call of design 2, a co-creation contest. And it brings us immense pleasure to announce that Motoroids has managed to become one of the 4 winners in the Media category. TVS nTorq 125 Call of Design Season 2 kick-started in August 2020 and received over 600 registrations from over 35 prestigious design institutes and 30 media professionals across the country.
TVS nTorq 125 RS
Mr. Oberdan Bezzi submitted the entry on our behalf and named his project ‘TVS nTorq RS’. The RS moniker is celebrated with much zest in the automotive world and the final design render actually does justice to the RS tag.
The TVS nTorq is already well renowned for its sporty attributes. So rather than fiddling around with the design too much, we thought about “evolving” these sporty concepts without looking for a revolution. We optically lightened the side view by inserting a more extended dark part and we gave it more thrust with an inclined “groove” that accentuates its dynamism.
The nTorq RS render is draped in sporty shades of matte grey, black and red. The red inserts splattered all over the bodywork lend the nTorq a very sporty appeal. Even in its standard form, the nTorq is one of the sportiest looking scooters available in our country and the RS concept makes it look even sportier and racy. The RS badge sits proudly on the side body panels while the tail lamp looks completely redesigned.
The rear view of the original scooter exudes the most character. We have highlighted the air intakes with a new shape and in a more streamlined manner and while highlighting the details on the edges. Same theme has been carried over for the front shield as well where we have made way for an air intake enriched with coloured details to highlight it.
