About this creation
A chassis for a technic supercar. Something copletely new for me, but I think i did good. :-)

The car is hopefully going to be a Gumpert Apollo Sport, but please don't rely on me, cause I want to be free to change cars. :-P


















The gearbox: 6 speed, no reverse (a car is to be driven forward, right? :)











The underside

Stunning build! i love the steering, transmission, and suspension! i think it looks a little wide, but its hard to get all that in a small space. you've really outdone yourself! fantastic build! 5/5

Excellent work for a first build of a chassis. I checkout out your completed Apollo, which as many stated, keep practicing and you will be up there with the best one day. As a technic builder myself, I can offer a few practical ways to help keep the chassis rigid. Firstly, if you have them, adding one more spring to each wheel makes a big difference, also sometimes the angle at which they are attached can make a difference on how easily they can be pushed downwards by the car's weight. Having two different setups for the suspension on either end can cause problems when joining the sections especially if they don't line up, and would need a heap of pieces to make it join and to be rigid, and would add more weight. I also found that continuous rows of beams joined together from front to rear is the strongest, and that strength comes from that continuity rather than say building the front and rear halves, then attaching them to the gearbox, and not directly to each other. I might try and upload a few images to better explain what I mean. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next MOC!

looks impressive, a tad wide as others have said, but very good

Wow this is a technical feast! Looks really good! It is too wide and the wheels look too small but other than that it's a very clever build. I like the Gumpert Appolo. I look forward to seeing the finished article!

It is a tad wide. But the functionality and technical features are great!

Wow, that's really big! Great Technic functions, this chassis has all a Technic geek needs: Engine, suspension, steering and a gearbox and each of them is working! But it's really big, I even think too big for those wheels. Anyway, it's a great base for further projects. Great job! :-))

Hi Thomas, looking very good so far. A lot of technical goodies (suspension is GREAT) , and you also work on the design (as with the enigine and exhaust). keep on moccing, this is going to be a great one! PS: Mortalswordsman is a bit right that the car is wide. In my experience, it is always possible to narrow down by two studs. ( a whole lot of work, but possible). I think two studs will do the thing already. If you choose a vehicle to build, try to find some technical data and measurements. Then you can calculate in advance how long, or how wide your car s to be.

Wow! This looks brilliant. I didn't expect something so technical from you - this is up there with the Technic masters! Good luck with the rest of the build

Hi. Looking really good so far. Especially the suspension and gearbox. It is quite wide - due to the wishbones I suspect. Can't wait to see it complete. What happened to the muscle car chassis?
