# AEVRA R1 — product experience production notes ## Status The product experience is populated with 23 generated photographs, including a dedicated mobile hero, nine exterior paint/cabin combinations and three cabin palettes. Asset-backed interaction tests pass on desktop and mobile. The earlier Grand Touring study remains available for comparison. ## Fixed design decisions AEVRA R1; Open Frame emblem #04; Manrope sans-serif only; evergreen, parchment and silver palette. The approved concept board defines the vehicle. No body redesign was requested. ## Image generation The user approved the available built-in image generator. The original product-image metadata was recorded as GPT Image 2.0; the tool exposes no model selector. No claim that a particular newer model was used is made. Images were conditioned on the approved car and cabin references, then inspected before encoding for the website. ## Research Tesla Roadster official page: https://www.tesla.com/roadster Official content supplies a concise model introduction, short performance group, reserve action, exterior/aero chapter, interior, roof and closing action. Browser attempts at Roadster, regional Roadster, Model S and Model 3 returned Access Denied. Model 3 / Model Y web extraction returned mostly notices; no complete live-layout or configurator interaction study is claimed for Tesla. Aston Martin Vanquish: https://www.astonmartin.com/en/models/vanquish Actual browser screenshots in prior research show a full-bleed driving hero, centered emblem, small paired calls to action, and persistent product chapter navigation. Aston Martin DB12: https://www.astonmartin.com/en/models/db12 Current browser screenshots at five scroll positions show the transition from cinematic imagery to engineering chapters and close detail material. The official content provides a deep specification taxonomy: performance, dimensions, structure, wheels, brakes, interior technology and safety. This taxonomy informed AEVRA’s structure; AEVRA values were independently authored as provisional fictional targets. Aston Martin configurator: https://configurator.astonmartin.com/INT/model-select/M200/AM578 Region selection, model selection and the full direct option workspace were observed successfully. The workspace separates Exterior and Interior, uses a large vehicle view, groups paint / exterior packages / roof / wheels / brakes / trim, and shows the active choice beneath each category. The direct capture is production/automotive/reference/aston-direct-configurator.jpg. These observations informed AEVRA’s large image workspace, grouped choices and persistent selected labels. No order or inquiry was submitted. The failed Vantage URL returned a 404 and is excluded from design conclusions. Reference screenshots and raw text are local research evidence, not website assets or commercial footage. ## Implementation A persistent product navigation tracks the current chapter. Exterior photographs crossfade within a native-scroll sticky section, with manual view controls and a reduced-motion alternative. Detail rails use native scroll snap. IntersectionObserver schedules section reveals; scroll work is limited to requestAnimationFrame updates. The configurator tracks three paint finishes and three interior palettes. Its asset matrix contains nine exterior combinations and three cabin images. Selecting a cabin automatically shows the cabin image; returning to exterior selects the corresponding paint-and-cabin frame. Images decode before replacement; request tokens prevent late responses overwriting newer selections. Selections persist locally and in the URL. Downloaded configuration records contain the chosen names, review URL and image references. No checkout is implemented. The specification explorer has seven categories, search, metric/imperial display and a downloadable text sheet sourced from the same data. All numbers are provisional design targets, not measured or certified performance. The gallery supports categories, keyboard navigation, image downloads and detail expansion. Dialogs use native focus management and Escape handling. ## Photography plan and quality gates The 23 briefs are in production/automotive/image-brief.json. A reference-conditioned studio master anchors all nine paint/interior combinations. A separate fixed cabin master anchors the upholstery edits and material details. The approved original board and exterior master guide the new angles. Initial hero compositions were reviewed in-browser and revised because tall viewports cropped the car; mobile now receives its own portrait source through a picture element. Check every image for: identical wheel-spoke pattern; same front/rear light signature; matching targa buttress; door and charge-port positions; correct two-pedal EV cabin; unchanged control counts, seams and seat shape; plausible tire contact; no exhausts; same Open Frame emblem. Reject geometry drift. Configuration variants must hold framing fixed and change only the relevant materials. No CSS hue filters stand in for real paint or upholstery changes. Keep original PNG masters with provenance. scripts/prepare-r1-assets.mjs encodes full-frame WebP derivatives without recoloring or cropping. Review contact sheets and viewport compositions after all final assets exist. ## Validation node tests/automotive/r1-flow.mjs --fixtures Passed at 1440px and 390px: all nine combinations, exterior/interior view switching, persistence and restore, configuration JSON download, specification search/empty state/imperial conversion/text download, gallery filtering, menu navigation, engineering accordion and exterior view selection. A clearly labeled repeated pilot image was intercepted only inside Playwright for these wiring checks. The website asset directory was not populated with fake final variants. Final photography checks: `node tests/automotive/r1-flow.mjs` passes with actual WebP assets at 1440px and 390px, exercising all nine combinations at each width, persistence, exports, specifications, galleries and controls. `node tests/automotive/r1-visual.mjs` checks all 23 assets and captures each major chapter at desktop, tablet and phone sizes with normal motion. Reports and screenshots are retained in output/automotive. These are reference-conditioned concept photographs, not renders from a shared CAD model. The fixed configuration views preserve framing closely; small badge, stitching and spoke-detail differences remain possible between independently generated angles. Pixel-perfect mechanical continuity would require a common 3D vehicle asset. The profile intentionally shows the removable roof off. All engineering values remain fictional design targets. ## Campaign release The website now connects directly to the detail-led revision 5 film: 28.6667 seconds, ten shots, no repeated source clips. Three coastal campaign photographs come from the reviewed revision 3 reference images; the existing product and configuration photographs remain. The film is fetched only when requested. A separate small, silent preview plays only on larger screens while in view, pauses offscreen or when a dialog opens, and has a manual pause control. Reduced motion and Save-Data suppress preview loading. The campaign film, production record, social preview image and favicon are included in a dedicated static AEVRA deployment. Music attribution remains visible in the player and production notes. Revision 5 removes the side-profile driving take and adds four macro videos: door trim, steering details, rear light and wheel/brake assembly. The website motion preview now uses the approved overhead passage. Each source appears once in the film. New reference frames and exact generation prompts are in commercial/v5/.
