Shayton Equilibrium - Slovenian hypercar

Mar 09, 2011

shayton has released the following press release:

shayton equilibrium

limited edition hypercar

shayton is a crown project of provoco’s state of passion design and development philosophy and the founding statement of provoco, a brand set to define new perception of beauty, quality and lifestyle in the 21st century.

more than just a concept of a super sports car, the project is designed as an automobile niche brand based on a strong story, solid foundations and a daring vision to become one of the worlds leading super car manufactures, exposing the market with new competition.

the main focus is to develop the car into a small production model and from then start fueling the evolution pushing the edges of development, design and technology, get involved in other areas such as racing and evolve as the pop-cultural and the new status icon of new millennium.

shayton equilibrium

equilibrium is the name of the first unveiled shayton model. the name represents the basic cosmic principle everything is based upon, the natural balance of the universe. equilibrium is the condition of a system in which competing influences are balanced.

in the words of the creators shayton equilibrium represents pure hedonism, perversion on four wheels, on one side an abstract concept to most people and on the other a realization of all childhood fantasies and dreams for the selected few.

it represents the ultimate pleasure, a new perception of getting from one point to another, where the goal is not as important as the experience. it represents an object of ultimate excitement and a path to rediscovering your inner self... only by looking at him, he represents sense inside nonsense. to one it represents the return to innocence.

a child of the wind and a falcon

the process of the creation is something that has not been imagined before. it is compared to genetics and the natural process of evolution, where the challenge lies in joining two in the combining sense abstract and different matters... the force of the wind with the falcon... the end result of is shayton. a child of the wind and a falcon...

bold and provocative vision

the bold statement for what shayton is aimed to achieve is simply to garage the competition and let it stay there....it’s point is to prove that new great brands can come out of 21st century and that you only need passion which is the leading factor that joins unique souls together to create something not only to sweep with all the competition, but to beat them on all areas...

passion of creation

the creation was not by reason but by pure passion and therefore it’s beauty relies totally on feelings, connection and implementation with nature and the biomimetic aerodynamic form is compared to the one of the natural perfected design for speed of the falcon - shayton.

technical vision

shayton’s aim is to develop a car that is not just beautiful and fast, but also technically done.

every detail is aimed to be done to the maximum and every part will be the best.

we strive to discover the limits of material capabilities, finding of new composing materials,  maybe to test the capabilities of new alternative power engines that could enhance the performance.

to use to the limits the technologies developed, and dare to develop new technologies and materials.

shayton’s primary idea is not to make the worlds fastest cat but striving for perfection and technical

excellence using best materials available and aim for the highest overall performance and groundbreaking results. we will therefore not be surprised if some record breaking results in the end do occur.

new niche and interaction

another bold statement is that this car is not trying to be a pure racer. it is not even trying to be a pure luxury exotic. this car is planned to be both. no words can prove it, but the look on it can make you believe it.

from the first moment this car is planned to be a controversial beast and this is shayton’s vision is to offer new niches to the driver. it is aimed to surpass the expected thrills of speed, performance, roaring sound and the

engine, or even comfort. the car will feature new interaction techniques.

the car will offer features like wireless internet to connect to your online music database and offer you connectivity everywhere, saved driver settings and advanced user modes which will recognize the driver,..

prototype, partners           

the car has been developed to the point that needs to enter the next phase - creation of a prototype. provoco is now meeting with potential investors and partners from all areas of the car industry who will believe in the essence of the project and also the business success of the brand. automobile prototype will first be developed.

name shayton

the name  shayton originally comes from the sioux indian word for a falcon (chayton pron. shay-ton). main brand symbol – falcon the main brand symbol is represented by a falcon,  one of the fiercest birds of prey. the falcon represents a respected animal throughout the world. it represents attacking power, speed, predation and also nobility in various world monarchies. falcon is also the fastest moving creature on earth and one of the smartest birds.

myth

the myth of creation comes from the ancient egyptian and tells of a world of chaos covered in mud. an unknown hand places a stick into this mud and a falcon comes and perches on it. at once the land begins to rise out of the sea in the shape of a pyramid, the earth and the waters begin to separate and the world is born.

this act of creation was repeated every year in egypt when the nile flooded, inundating the land, and then receded leaving fertility and life for the people. the innundation and the reappearance of the first mounds of earth were celebrated throughout the times of the pharaohs and these celebrations were linked to one of the battles between seth and horus.

horus took the form of solar disc with the wings of a falcon and with two goddesses in the form of cobras he routed the armies of seth. this symbol of the winged solar disk means simply to “become”.

falcon in symbolism                  

in indian symbolism the falcon assists in soul healing, accompanies the soul back to the soul world, teaches swiftness and aerobatics of life, controls speed and movement. the egyptians also depicted their god horus, who came to be partially conflated with ra, as a falcon.

creation

first there have been rushing elements of nature which are still reshaping the earth, our own habitat. elements so powerful humans often consider them as work of gods, supernatural forces that should be worshipped.

imagine essence of these elements united into a shape. this is the creation of  shayton equilibrium.

perfect balanced masterpiece of all these elements captured in a form humans have never seen before. shayton is a new god, the god of speed and performance. faster than wind, more powerful than storm and as beautiful as if it was shaped by supernatural forces themselves.

philosophy

essence of pleasure shayton equilibrium  represents forces  manifested into form. it puts motion in shape, it is

an essence of super-car in 21st century. striking balance between beauty and performance enables shayton to step out among respectful competition.

well thought overall design and engineering, combined with use of latest technology and materials, enable you exhilarating driving experience whether you drive it on scenic roads by the azure coast, by yourself or in a company, gives you feeling of nobility and prestige when visiting/seeing opera in the evening or cause you a rush of adrenalin when you are up to achieving the best time on a race track.

vision

essence of equilibrium

shayton is set to unleash a disturbing movement in the global hyper-cars atmosphere, especially affecting the competition based in europe. without rich heritage to rely on, shayton is focused on the future.

the goal is to become the ultimate limited production hyper-car manufacturer in the market using newest technologies and materials to reach the state of condition in which competing influences are perfectly balanced: equilibrium of design and engineering.

lifestyle

shayton offers a unique new lifestyle and defines a new perspective of car use, moving around and traveling.

imagine your plan for the evening is to visit the opera accompanied with your date but you are in need for rush of adrenalin just before you shall relax and enjoy the evening. what to do? you have two options.

go straight to pick up spot using regular, common way or you could let the system help you set up more excited way. if you choose second option the car mode will go from normal to race. the suspension will lower the car and make it more firm on the road, radio will volume down to the minimum, interior lightning will set to the essentials, engine will be ready to work with full power, turbochargers will suck more air, seat will offer you tighter grip and the safety belt will readjust.

red lights, red lights, red lights, green lights goooo...

you arrive at the pick up spot, still shivering from adrenalin rush. as you wait for your date, you enter new destination, opera. the system recognize destination and setup the car. system softens, warm dim lightning turns on, radio browses trough the web to search music accordingly to destination and engine start working on lower rpms. from pure race to polite gentleman. your date arrives, the night is yours. relax, enjoy.

design

redefining perfection of form and performance

design of shayton equilibrium comes from pure emotions, from perfect balance of energies and forces within the lead designer andrej stanta. he says that this is the only way human is being able to develop such a masterpiece. without function shayton would be just another piece of art to put into the gallery. therefore two worlds are to clash together at one point to make absolute perfection, equilibrium.

engineering this car could be chapter of its own. complex to the point where man develops new building techniques and use materials reserved for space and army industry.

according to andrej stanta the most difficult task is to reach compromises from both sides although both have goal to make this car pure balanced perfection. and this is shayton. andrej stanta says “to put the storm into form you have to make compromises or u can fail trying.“

exterior                

shayton equalibrium’s unmistakable design unites the dna of a brutal wind storm, the elegance of a falcon in flight and pureness of a natural pearl.

it’s flowing lines aggressively cut by large side intakes and then beautifully reunited in the back give shayton a distinctive muscular and aggressive yet very elegant and graceful look as well as low air resistance factor.

interior

the elegant yet sporty interior in shayton is dominated by a driver-focused cockpit architecture where the driver is in control. form follows emotion and function: this combined design principle is implemented throughout the car. sitting inside in the driving seat makes one thing clear: you are possessing superpowers, you are in control of a fierce storm, enormous amount of energy, power and torque.

however, having control over all this brutal force ask for well thought interior with focus on the driver/owner. ergonomics, styling and safety goes hand in hand inside the cockpit where is everything set up to ensure driver/owner ultimate driving experience when shayton is pushed to its limits.

engineering

manifestation of a fierce storm. so powerful and dangerous yet so perfect and stunningly beautiful. among other things  shayton equilibrium will feature all carbon-titanium chassis, forged aluminum alloy suspension, carbon-titanium wheels, state of the art electronics, and emission standards that will allow shayton to dominate roads all over the world.
