Are you sure that's not just Photoshoped? Given the clearances, I don't see any way shape or form of that functioning in the real world or track. Makes a cool photo however!
Waterboarding is too easy a punishment for doing this to a perfectly good sports car. I'm thinking drawn and quartered is closer to where I'd go with this. Fugly doesn't even get you into the neighborhood. D
The car is CG, the artist is well known for making fantasy design cars, and has a website with great pics specially for screen backgrounds.

This is a specific style that is popular right now amongst the youth. It has its roots in Japanese bosozoku and drift cultures. The artist does this with several iconic classic cars. I think it's cool as an idea. He knows it gets all the purists bent out of shape. It would never be done in real life. But if it gets a kid to look at a 308 and think it's cool then I'm all for it.
Agree. Got a link to the artist's website? Like to see his take on a few of the others...I don't care for the looks of this 308 but I 'get' it.
This one is pretty badass too. Wondering how I can stance my 308 to look like this... Image Unavailable, Please Login
If you're going to publish car designs, at least get the basics right! - Such as drawing directional tyres fitted the right way round! Image Unavailable, Please Login
I used to do quite a bit of 3D professionally; it's likely no one told the artist which direction the tread goes - and if they didn't, unless the artist was a car guy - they'd have no was of knowing.
Photoshop has a lot to answer for... Can we please stop referring to these things as 'design' - rather, they are doodles which really take very little skill. At least a hand drawn sketch has some artistic value.
