The Brief
The client wanted to turn the casual hobby of spotting rare and exotic cars into a competitive, social experience enjoyed by enthusiasts worldwide. The platform needed AI-powered vehicle identification from photos, a rarity engine that awarded XP per spot, real-time social feeds, an interactive city map, in-app group chat, a car marketplace, and event management, all in a single mobile app that had to feel fast and premium at a global scale.
