A large scale model of a Ferrari - ish sports car - not intended to look like anything in particular but it seems F50 like in the middle with a touch of Honda NSX at the back - what do you think ?
About this creation
This baby took a while ! It's built around a set of 8860 wheels and features a V6 engine, gearbox, steering, suspension all round (double wishbones made from 80s bits without resorting to 2 UJs each side like the 8865 car - that would make it too wide - and simpler struts at the front), opening doors, bonnet, boot and engine lid. The roof revolves in the same way as a Ferrari 550 Superamerica. The lids are sprung so they stay up when open and the seats move. I've tried to make it as detailed as I can with wipers, mirrors, lights etc.
One day I'll get the shape of the front wings right and there's no space in front of the engine for more than a two speed transmission but I'm reasonably happy with it. Tell me what you think.

This car amazed me, perfect work, but I think it deserves more attention.
Thanks, this was an early post of mine and I think my later stuff simply overshadows it. |

I'm impressed at how you managed to get a good shape using just beams and plates. Does it have a V8 engine in there? And how did you get double wishbone suspension with only 1 UJ per wheel?
The engine's a V6 using old square pistons; the diff is mounted below the axle line and power is transmitted through pairs of gears that tilt relative to each other as the suspension moves, but never enough to slip out of mesh thanks to shortish travel. |

5/5 Oh, that just makes you want to go for a drive right now, doesn't it. Hey, 2 things: 1) there is so much in there, it deserves more pics, esp internal shots showcasing your gears and mechanisms; 2) might want to fill in the wheel wells a little, so the yellow seats are not visible from the low side angle shot (assuming that's what I'm seeing, not quite sure).

great car! I love the style, not only of the car itself but also of he building technique. It doesn't need SNOT or the "new" style bricks that came around 2000 to look good. Just excellent! |

Love this - it's great to see a decent Technic car made with simple 'studded' bricks rather than the new huge curvy snot parts. Excellent work 9/10 |
