Description
Howdy guys, most of you will recognise this as one of my vehicle designs (Seen here [link] ).I'm updating, revamping, and redesigning the vehicle before I put it into my portfolio, since it was slightly rushed the first time 'round - The entire project was done in a week. That's designing, modeling, rendering, and all the photoshop composition stuff. So this time I'm going through it fixing a few modeling errors, and making some design changes.
The main thing I've changed in this version is the front wheel gaurds - which now open up at the rear so that the wheel can actually turn - something it has not been able to do previously, a design flaw. I still need to open up the front of the gaurd to give it some more room to move.
I've also designed some custom wheels for the vehicle, (which can also be seen here [link] ) which make it look much more modern than the previous rims, which looking back on, dont suit the vehicle at all.
Still to go, I'll be adding a nice wee doorhandle, re-designing the front lights (and possible the entire front end), and if I can come up with something better, a new rear swingarm.
So let me know whatcha think. Oh, I've also made it blue.

I want one

OOOOoooooh yea, I saw that car on TV the other night. It's not the best looking thing, but it's the same concept.

Very sweet concept car.
Strikes me as unusual, but not as many people giving comments these days on works.

What strikes you as unusual, the concept or the small amount of comments?
But thankyou either way.

Small amount of comments, probably due to their being no favorites section for each category.

Ah ok. Well for me 37 is alot of comments, even if half of them are by me. Haha. But I suppose I'm not likely to notice the change in the number of comments since I'm relatively new to DA.

great design
the front part of it reminds me of a standard sports car but then it transforms into a kinda *not sure what the word is* (trike?) when you see the rear

Hehe, cheers! I'm not sure what to call it either, so I just call it a 'concept'. Hah! I dont know whether it's a motorbike or a car.
Thanks

nice i like the new front, but it does look better in red, stick to red, black and yello for the colours it would suit it better

Black and yellow would look pretty cool... I might give that a go aswell. Cheers.

pyrohmstr [2006-08-18 12:58:27 +0000 UTC]
I love it! its so shiny...and blue....it looks like candy..*licks*....anyway...i think you have to illuminate the area under the body by the front tire...its looks kinda like....its just there...and it would be cool if the side arm was like the back end of a sport bike....so the brake rotors and stuff would be showing...but still enough of a suspension system to look possible >^.^<

L-X In reply to pyrohmstr [2006-08-18 23:58:10 +0000 UTC]
So make it more like an existing dirt bike's swingarm? Interesting idea. I'm definately keen to show off as much mechanical stuff on the rear end as I can, I'm hopefully going to expose the rear shock there too.
Thanks for the idea.

Holy f**k Batman!!! Get that baby into production and put me down for two!!
Looks ace man, can't wait to see the finished one.
Regarding the swingarm? How about a single sided one, like the Ducati 996's? just a thought...

L-X In reply to sam46 [2006-08-18 23:58:54 +0000 UTC]
Ooooo.... Now that's an idea... That'd look real hot from the side without a swingarm, it'd be like.. floating.
I'll see what that looks like.

Looking good, Those rims look great on it and I think the blue looks much better then the red. The only thing I found kinda strange is the 7 lug holes on the wheels seems like more then normal, oh well atleast you know they wont fall off.

L-X In reply to Snipehunter4 [2006-08-18 23:47:30 +0000 UTC]
Hah yea, The problem with these rims is if I have any less than 7 lugs it looks very strange. Though the wheels on my car at the moment have 7 spokes and 9 lug holes. Oh well, like you said, they wont fall off in a hurry.
