Maybe a bit more on the
"race car side" ...but then after all thats wat an "exotic' is all about, a Chaperall roadster;

Here is my WIP for a scratch-built exotic my company is attempting to produce...

We are very much an engineering firm and did a full chassis and suspension development long before we began the body work. This is the slow part for us

BTW... I realize this is a sketching forum... my appologies to anyone who is offended that we sketch purely in 3D

...its really nice, but there seems to very LITTLE body work at all !!!!...Very spooky as a street car, but looks fun on the go kart track !

.

that wheelsbase looks mighty long, have u tested it? would prob be better if u brought the front axle back and shortened the whole vehicle.

Yeah, the whole chassis and suspension were designed using SusProg3D and ADAMS... so it works well

Okay I'm still fairly new at this, but what do you all think of this:

And here's another one, this time front-engine:

Very nice designs, Schwaa. They're snappy, but the second looks like it has a body made of a draped curtain over the wheels. Try to tighten up the lines a little and they'll look a lot better! Also, please crop the scan next time! You can post them directly into the sketch thread, too.

I know I could, but they have to be equal or less than 800 pixels and I don't wanna resize them because they usually don't look as good. They'd look a lot better if it wasn't for these scanners scanning in things so bright so that you can see every little detail such as eraser marks or something, and they're also so bright that they take out lighter shading so they can't even be seen. Maybe I should just take a picture of it. So actually not too long ago, I took that drawing and darkened and ajusted contrast on it, but haven't posted it.
