During the DVN Munich event, I was very happy to give Carlos Elvira’s Cupra team the award of the best rear lamp design of 9 nominees.
465 voters participated, and Cupra got more than 25 per cent of the votes—just a bit ahead of the Lucid Gravity rear lamp, which very well might be the largest rear lamp on the planet.
