My Concept Car

[Doco]

So, hopefully no one will get too upset that I'm posting this here, and not in multimedia... but the multimedia forum is a bit of a wasteland.

Anyway, mucking around with a short wheelbase, V8 engined Coupe, similar dimensions to a 370Z. I've used headlights off a Range Rover Evoque.

Edit, images not showing for some reason... here's some links

Maybe he used LS1 blue for the body colour :confused:

[boggers007]

Thats pretty cool man, what program did you use to draw that?

[heavyduty1340]

That is a blody good concept

I realy like the sweeping lines, and the deeep dish on the rears

Well done mate!!

[VY-SV8]

[Doco]

Thanks guys.

Cheers for posting the pics 6_litre_man!

boggers007 - It's all done in Maya.

Excellent. Looks like a Nissan Godzilla on roids. NIce

[iloveholden]

Looks great but maybe less intercooler grill look at the front.

I love the overall look and the skill that went into it - as a suggestion, might it actually look a bit neater on smaller wheels with a slimmer side skirt? The bodyside looks very high once you drag your eyes away from the wheels. (I guess I'm thinking about what a production version as opposed to a concept might end up looking like).

But all credit to you; if I had my time over I'd have found a way to send myself to Art Center in Pasadena and studied car styling :)

[Doco]

Cheers Marco. Yeah, there's some cartoony proportions in there, porbably slightly more hotwheels than production car, but it was fun to make.

R32 GTR was one of my references :)

Personally think it looks like a combination of an Aston Martin and Range Rover Evoque. Taking the best parts of two stunning cars and putting them together.

Looks amazing.

[Stewge]

That looks great!

You know, with some tweaking to the wheel proportions, I don't see why you couldn't just get a shell made for a kit car with similar dimensions. Maybe start off by getting one fabbed up for a small scale model car to see what it'd look like. Or break out the clay modelling :D
Who knows, someone loaded with cash might wander a long and finance construction of one.

It actually looks very similar (as far as dimensions) as a new Camaro, could maybe use that as a base?

[Doco]

Cheers, I picutred it smaller though... 370Z scale. The orignal 240Z could fit a 350 chev under the bonnet easily, so those kind of dimentions would be nice. Also means 18inch weels look like 20s.

I'd need to modify it, but I could get a model rapid prototyped.

[blu ute]

Look awesome. :goodjob:

[bush_basha]

looks really good man, i like it alot. well done. id have one aswell, lol

[Doco]

Thanks guys.

Thanks to the Mods for cleaning up my botched image post too.

[motorin on]

if it is in my price range I am sold


When's production start? Put me down for one..

Awesome job man..

[Underdog]

As already stated you've got some real skill for creating that. You can really pick quite a few influences that have gone into it which would win over a lot of different car fans. Great work

[Woodchukka]

Looked at this a couple of times now and I still love it. Nice work.

[Doco]

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'd like to do more when I have time.

[Nathan89]

Looks like a350z and skyline had a baby :)

[dazzrael]

thats bitchin dude!

[RAWKUS]

I reckon if you were to make it road ready as possible, it could generate some real interest. Side exiting exhaust, although cool, would not make it to road going version. Do a twin rear exhaust that conforms to the corners of the rear bumper so it doesn't wreck the shape but can still be seen from the side rear.
Another option...don't pay out on me, but make it high performance electric, so no exhaust at all except for flow through. The chunky skirt dimensions could hide some low centre of gravity battery packs, with great cooling from the mega front grill.

[MRGILL]

thats a beast mate. great work.. and good luck

[Doco]

Thanks guys, I never saw it being more than a visual concept. Designing it to have functional proportions etc would need a bit more consideration.

It's somewhat unfinished, a few trim details would help.

[Cmycv8]

Sooooooooo, when can we see a model of it :)
