car design thread

Origins in car-in-primer rat rods ...?

 

"I wonder if I can get bigger wheels than dubs?".......?

 

Lol, I did a matte black design back in ‘94 for a project. I was on a stealth fighter kick and it was the focus of my theme board.

 

Totally agree and I think it just looks nicer in general. I feel the same about architectural rendering. I love the "old" style of people actually painting renderings of buildings. Even computer renderings that have a "paint" style applied just don't have the same look, because they're essentially applying a filter to a 3D render as opposed to actually painting an image.

 

Felt has a reason and a place in the world of artsy things, just not on cars.

Looks very late 1950's- 1960's Pininfarina. I see some Duetto and 3000CM in that tail along with a few other. Interesting.

 

Miss, not hit. And where is the spinnaker supposed to go?

 

There's a WSJ article about this Rolls, and others....Rolls use the words 'haute couture'. If I remember, Lamborghini recently used the same words to describe their future. I wasn't paying close attention, but I thought when reading that it made sense to offer personalization like a custom suit when the electrified powerplant is/will be undifferentiated. Is that where high end cars are headed?

 

love the sketches...not the execution. proportions look wonky in the tin, comparatively.

 

Even in the sketches, the roof looks like a hideous afterthought.

Otherwise, that rear end with double truck lids is kinda interesting.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

I've always thought that the concept of the 911 "Spyder" was a bit silly given that the cars weigh a ton and will NEVER be stored outside; but sticking this light weight top on a three (?) ton R-R is the maximum of hilarious (silliest?, absurdist?, bizarrest?)

Perhaps a "shooting break" version of the big Roller (with appropriate Bengal upholstery) called the Maharaja is in the works??

 

Rondine and 124 Spider too.

 

Its like the limited 2017 $300k Maybach
