Without compromises.
Aerodynamic:
Range optimized.
CW Value of an aircraft wing: < 0,11
Weight:
Light. Lighter. Most stable.
< 17 kg for higher payload and lower centre of gravity
Stability:
Left-hand track suitability.
For a comfortable cruising speed. For overtaking manoeuvres. For safety.
Design:
Lines that fit.
Characterised by taut, clear lines. The box is in motion although it is standing.
Fibre composite:
A benchmark for low weight with higher stability
Only by using fibre composite materials can high stability be achieved with very low weight. By using CO2-neutral high-tech fibres, this can even be achieved without compromises for yourself and the planet.
The price for this? Over 16 hours of production time for perfect quality and appearance.
The reward? Quite clearly: keeping the emotions your car radiates. With roof box. With a weight of less than 17 kilograms. With stability for higher speeds. For the left lane. For overtaking maneuvers. For your safety.
Built for the highway. Built in the land of the highway. Made in Germany.
Carved into fibers:
A declaration of love to automotive design.

Tensioned lines
By focusing on clear, taut lines and dispensing with beading and edges, we achieve the “in motion although the roof box is standing” effect. With external dimensions of 215 x 90 x 32 cm, the proportions and your luggage fit perfect.
Loading space miracle
400 litres of cargo space are available for everyday use and above all for adventures. The roof box can be opened in under 2 seconds. The perfect trunk replacement. Also for everyday use.
The design: benchmark.
By working together with an experienced car designer, we have broken new ground and achieved the goal: the roof box becomes part of the car. It corresponds to the principles of automobile design.
Aerodynamic:
For speed. For range.
To achieve a CW value of less than 0.11, we have completed over 200 hours of testing and simulation. For range. For safety. For emotion.
First premise: Do not affect the aerodynamics of the car.
In short: The roof box is suitable for the Nordschleife and long distances. Proof? Come on.
One of our unique selling points
The roof box is a benchmark in terms of stability and weight. It sets new standards in aerodynamics and design. Opening and closing: it is as simple as opening a trunk.
The result? The roof box can be used in everyday life without any problems. As 2nd trunk. For shopping, the baby carriage or also for business in sales for field staff. The optimal addition to your own (dream) car.
Cost-benefit factor thus A+. A new larger car is more expensive. And let’s be honest: in many cases, a step backwards in terms of design. #Pampersbomber
Digital becomes reality:
Our prototype crosses European roads
Theory, calculations, assertions. All well and good. But we want to get the horsepower on the road in the end and are doing Europe-wide test drives for this.
In accordance with our principle: Questioning. Testing. Improve. Deliver.
Reserve.
The ASPHALTKIND roof box will be available for free sale in a limited edition of 200 pieces.
Due to the numerous inquiries we have decided to introduce a reservation process.
First come. First serve.
“What do we do with the car when a child comes? We have to get rid of it, because there’s no room for a pram or a car seat…”
Stefanie (28), Nils’ girlfriend and one of the reasons for the development of the ASPHALTKIND roof box
Our first prototype is finished – The first test drives with the ASPHALTKIND roof box
True to our motto "What holds on a sports car also works on any other vehicle", we have driven about 1,500 kilometres with our first roof box prototype in the past few days. In order to protect our special material and the special design from prying eyes, we have had...
Awards & prizes for ASPHALTKIND
In the meantime our brand ASPHALTKIND is not as unknown as it was at the beginning of our journey. This is probably also due to the fact that we can now inspire many other people for our vision, our product and the material. We also do this at various business...
Roof box for the new Mercedes S-Class
Last week the time had finally come again: the new S-Class (W223) was presented by Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart. However, nothing was like the years before, because the presentation was completely digital via livestream. Accordingly, we were also curious to see how...
