01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Drako Dragon is an all-electric SUV that blends hypercar performance with luxurious design, representing a bold leap into the future of electric mobility. Designed by Chief Designer Lowie Vermeersch, formerly of Pininfarina, and crafted at GranStudio, the Dragon stands out with its aggressive and futuristic aesthetics. The SUV boasts a striking silhouette that draws attention to its muscular, sculpted bodywork. Its short front end creates a bold, assertive look, enhanced by vertically developed LED headlights that seamlessly flow into the car’s voluminous sides. The headlights are slim and angular, giving the Dragon a predatory stance. These sharp lights integrate fluidly with the body lines, creating a sense of motion even when the vehicle is stationary. The powerful, contoured sides emphasize the vehicle’s dynamic character, while the sloping roofline lends it a sporty, coupe-like appearance. This sleek roof design adds to the Dragon’s aerodynamic profile without compromising its robust SUV persona. The Drako Dragon is the second collaboration between GranStudio and Drako Motors, following their previous work on the GTE sedan, which was based on the Fisker Karma platform. Building on the experience and success of the GTE, the Dragon brings a new level of sophistication and innovation to the electric SUV segment. With a focus on extreme performance, Drako Motors infuses the Dragon with cutting-edge technology, delivering a driving experience that rivals that of hypercars. Beyond its design, the Dragon exemplifies meticulous engineering, combining powerful electric propulsion with advanced suspension systems and state-of-the-art battery technology. This gives the SUV exceptional handling and acceleration, making it a leader in both form and function. The collaboration between Vermeersch and GranStudio ensures that the Drako Dragon is not just another SUV, but a statement of elegance, aggression, and electric performance—embodying the future of sustainable, high-performance luxury vehicles.
