What are our inspirations here [for the M80]? What were we thinking when we designed this?

So, Jacob Lippel designed this one in the concept phase, and anyone who knows him knows that he's obsessed with planes, and you can tell. There is a strong contrast between the soft lines of the front and the strong lines of the rear. There is a strong contrast between the colors as well. There are a lot of lines flowing into each other, looping and reconnecting, typical of Origin. So he maintained that DNA, also evolving the tail into something that is exactly like the 100i, just sleeker. So there is a lot coming from the aeronautic side. I'm thinking of the Rafale, F-35s, some Russian planes, and a lot coming from the automotive design world. So smooth transitions, very sleek German-Italian designs.

Right, because Origin, in the lore, is actually from Germany. It's Cologne, Germany, actually, if I remember correctly.
