Summary

Kyzyl Saleem (better known as The Kyza) is one of the most renowned digital vehicle designers. His renders go viral, his bodykits look incredible, and he helped design the Hoonitruck and Travis Pastrana's "Family Huckster". We sat down with him at the Lotus booth at Goodwood Festival of Speed. He told us the surprising route to this career; how he brings a car into the future without losing its original identity; what cars he would (and wouldn't) love to re-design; the challenges of designing parts for the real world; how his Spam filter screwed him out of a dream job; and so much more.

where you got that ticket. They will fight that ticket on your behalf. Get those points off your
