Love it or Hate it! Wide body concept design...

How about KISS and just follow what Porsche does -- just make the fenders bold and muscular. This should also keep the cost down a lot. BTW, I a a fan of wide-bodies.

I will definitely give them a shout when I finish the design.

theDreamer · 03-23-2010, 08:57 AM

Will hold judgment till more drawing/pictures, you have the lines of the car down really well but not sure on a few things, but it might be because of it just being a rough sketch.

bullitt5897 · 03-23-2010, 12:56 PM

so I submitted the Initial design along with my Jon Sibal rendition to AIT Racing... We will see what they have to say * fingers Crossed *

theDreamer · 03-23-2010, 12:57 PM

Do you have more drawings or just this one?
Also, why the opening on the hood? Your last drawing had it and with the lines of the 370 it just did not seem to flow as well. I think with the hood and the vents you have those might work, but the opening not so much.

new image cleaned up a bit:

jrniehaus · 03-24-2010, 09:37 PM

I personally think it looks, not too bad. But.. smooth the fender flares. Don't like the flat edge near the fender wells. And, maybe think something slighly different for the vents on the hood. I think something more subtle may be the ticket. People will stare due to slight changes more, than drastic changes, and it will stick in their heads and they will want it.
At least that is my 2 cents.....

Ah yes, sorry I don't race. I'm speaking completely off appearance. If it's going to the track I'd imagine you would want it to be as aerodynamic as possible.

Zerafian · 03-23-2010, 01:31 PM

little bit of do luck action on the front fender hu

OMGWTFBBQ · 03-23-2010, 01:34 PM

The rear wing's end plate reminds me of Do Luck as well.

phelan · 03-23-2010, 03:19 PM

mayesj101 · 03-23-2010, 05:11 PM

Bullitt, if this somehow gets built, I WANT ONE!!!

fullmonty · 03-23-2010, 05:54 PM

It kinda reminds me of a Spider, pretty B.A.

Kyle@STILLEN · 03-23-2010, 06:23 PM

What is this going to be made out of? Fiberglass or CF?

You might consider relocating your air to air intercoolers to those side vents that you have so that you have more airflow to oil coolers and your radiator. That would be a pretty trick setup if you can incorporate all of your components to work in conjunction with one another.

Do you plan on racing the car or will this be strictly for show? If you do plan on racing, what type of racing? Road course? Standing mile? 1/4 mile?
