The Buick Invicta concept vehicle was designed using teams from North America and China working together through virtual technology. Both design teams weighed in on styling and materials used.

GM's Virtual Reality Lab allows engineers and designers to see all parts of the car as modeled in the computer, from any angle. This allows them to forego a multitue of otherwise unforseen production setbacks.
