At the 2007 Geneva Motor Show Magna Steyr presented the
MILA Future, an automotive sculpture with a unique system
which can utilise four different roof configurations on
one vehicle.
MILA Future coupé:
A characteristic of classic coupés is the flowing
silhouette towards the rear. It gives the vehicle an elegant,
dynamic appearance that the target group on the market
regards as its distinctive feature. In addition to attractive
styling, other benefits include fully utilizable trunk
volume and protection against wind and weather for the
passengers.
MILA Future landaulet:
Landaulets were horse-drawn carriages that had double
soft folding tops for driving half open. Thanks to the
special design of roof, deck lid and rear window, the
Mila Future can be driven in a similarly romantic mode
- the rear window is lowered completely, but the roof
itself remains in place over the passengers protecting
them against direct sunlight. On country roads you therefore
feel in touch with your surroundings and if driving faster
the airflow is reduced to a pleasant level.
MILA Future roadster:
When the roof is down and the rear window lowered, you
can experience real roadster feeling. Compared with conventional
solutions, however, the remaining trunk space is 20% larger.
This additional volume is created by leaving the B and
C pillars on the deck lid as styling elements, which means
that the space is not required in the trunk area. The
result is a new, exciting appearance and makes this type
of vehicle unmistakable on the roads. At the same time,
it provides adequate rollover protection - so the typical
bars behind the seats are not required.
MILA Future copster:
A combination of coupé and roadster, this variant
keeps the roof in the trunk with the rear window in the
coupé position. It also serves as a permanent wind
deflector and does not require manual mounting. This configuration
gives you a sense of safety in the interior without having
to sacrifice the open-air feeling.
