In the fantasyland of the auto show floor, though, they give the concept vehicle a menacing, moose-like nose (wait, does that make sense?). At least we can hope that the 11 transportation design master course students from IED who worked with <a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/category\/tesla-motors\/\">Tesla Motors<\/a>&#8216; chief designer Franz von Holzhausen on the project enjoyed the process.<\/p>\n<p>Considering there&#8217;s almost no chance we&#8217;ll ever see the EYE concept cruising the streets, we&#8217;ll just have to enjoy the car for what it is: a good-looking show car with a Tesla badge. Sure, we can imagine putting an electric powertrain in there and showing up at the soccer game in one of these, but for now we&#8217;ll just have to click through the gallery below and ask ourselves if the IED students managed to create a new status symbol with the EYE, something they said they were shooting for. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-ied-tesla-eye-concept\/low\/\">Geneva 2010: IED Tesla EYE concept<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-ied-tesla-eye-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/01-ied-tesla-eye-concept_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-ied-tesla-eye-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/02-ied-tesla-eye-concept_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-ied-tesla-eye-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/03-ied-tesla-eye-concept_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-ied-tesla-eye-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/04-ied-tesla-eye-concept_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-ied-tesla-eye-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/05-ied-tesla-eye-concept_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong><small>Photos by Damon Lavrinc \/ <\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small>Copyright (C)2010<\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small> Weblogs, Inc.<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/04\/geneva-2010-ied-tesla-eye-concept\/\">Geneva 2010: IED Tesla EYE Concept<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:59:00 EST.
