Open source virtual Fchat-designprocess: NEW DINO

Porsche Cayman is a good target. Smaller than the F430, shuld sell for 25% less. V6 with both? Anyone do that today?

 

So far, the Cayman would be the most similar to a proposed Dino, primarily because of the mid-engined layout and size.

 

I'm in. I'm marketing major so I guess I can do something in that direction.

 

I think this is incredibly fascinating and great fun. I am a professionalphotographer. If I can help in some way I would love to. Bob

 

Dude shut up! This is for fun; go stick your bag of coal on someone else.

 

taking pictures of my car would help. lol



so, Michiel Mobiel, what is the goal of this. to make a ferrari, that is not exactly a ferrari because it isnt on the cutting edge of car technology? make it a little underpowered, but nonetheless a fun car?

does this mean that we cant push the envelope aerodynamically (such as aggressive venturi tunnels like on the enzo, F430 and 360 CS? and powerplant wise, we cant do something radical like a TT 3.0l V6 making 450bhp because that would be a close rival for current ferraris?

just trying to get a feeler for the project (and hopefully not making offensive statements to dino owners)

 

if they look, the i suppose we'll technically be showing them. i suspect they wont, so i wouldnt worry about it.

you're right ferraris arent designed by customers. this isnt a ferrari, its a dino (but thats a matter of semantics) also we're not designing a car for ferrari, we're evidentially wasting our time making pictures, for fun.

perhaps you missed the idea behind this. we're not building a car. we're building an idea. and the alleged experts (which are in fact experts, i'll disregard the lack of respect) like me are donating their time for fun. hell, i cant work with planes all day - as interesting as they are - i always come back to cars to relax

i wasnt aware than an idea required strenght analysis. well, i suppose you could find the max shear force, such that while using a pencil you do not pucnture the paper. or the torque generated at the knee as someone's foot hits your a$$

everyone dreams. some people pursue them to have them come to fruition, some dont. you know just because you are selfish, doesnt meant that the rest of the world is; i would gladly donate hundreds of hours to this for aero analysis and strength analysis for free (assuming there was no profit to be made from the design), just to make one picture. i would print it out (or have a print made) and hang it on my wall. even if only one person my whole life asked what that was and i could say, "i helped design that", and they complimented it. it would be worth it

you know the old saying "if you have nothing nice to say, dont say it". perhaps you should take that advice, or i suppose we could petition to have you banned from this thread or the forum. if ou dont like how we are wasting our time, click "back", and look at something else. its a free internet, nobody forced you in here

Need a Security Guard? How about a Numbers Cruncher? I can crunch numbers with my bare hands.

Look:

8

*CRUNCH*

3

I crunched that eight into a three.

next dino idea maybe a " 326 Dino" only take the 430 engine and cut two cilinders away and have 3.2 litre v6 and have around 340 hp

Why not use the new Alfa Romeo Brera V6 engine?, it's a modern and light engine, powerful enough with possible upgrades.

Should check the Hp. figures.

 

check the following for engine info:

http://www.italiaspeed.com/2005/cars/alfa_romeo/11/brera_launch/0511.html

Alfa v6, 3.200 cc and 260 hp.

Create a light car and the power is more than adequate, but power upgrades should be no problem...

 

is this too extreme a concept ........

not as curvy though

That looks more like an extreme Enzo. Radical, yes. Cool, yes, but not a Dino.
