Great design!!! Did you design it yourself?
Great attention to detail with the interior, looks awesome!

Got only one question, what does it run on? :)

hi eterea.....
i must say i'm very impressed ....
your modell is very good, especially the architecture of the suspension...i think they would work for real!
i like these concepts....and about the cockpit, man that looks really good!
looks like a real car....so and now i return to my roots and will start a new project..yes also a car!
i hope i come up with that as good as you did!
thanks man for your inspiration!

and here is a old car of mine!

i forgot to ask .... wich application did you use?
(and jfi : the car...this is a luxury 2 seater!)

can we see the wire frame , and other things people ask for .

This is an awesome pice of work! Superb shading and really well lit!

I assume people post here to get some critiques so here you go:

I cant cretique this as a 3d pice as it is outstanding but some functionality seams a little "not right"

First is that central axis suspension wold work greate if you use this to compensate the topology of the road and its surface, though it wouldnt work in case of small dinits on a high speed unless you put actual axis on suspension. Also how does it steer?
Im not asking how do the weels hold =)

perhaps its built like a rollercoaster, the holders could be on the inner side ;)

or its just magnetic :)

Once again, gorgeous stuff..incredible design and style. Really like the breakdown on the site too, same as your others. :thumbsup:

Minor things I could think of are, if you're meant to climb in and out, do you step on the tire to get in and then over? if not it might be nice to have some other indication of how you hop in and out, like a little 'step' built in. Also it doesn't look like the glove compartment can open? The gauges seem a little 'retro' for such a futuristic car, but they're mixing styles like that a lot now.

About the 'hubless' wheels, they do exist in real life..I can't remember his name, but an italian inventor came up with that particular form..has concept motorcycles and a car that use them, and the steering mechanism / drive system look pretty much just like that. Good point about the independent suspension for small bumps though.

The inventor in question is named Sbarro. One of the more interesting people in design, that's for sure.
This vehicle has some distinct Sbarro elements to it, as well as some Renault Raccoon thrown in for good measure. The centrally linked suspension with the exposed frame was a big part of the Raccoon's design.
Excellent job, I love the integration of various design elements and the shading and lighting is excellent as well.

Thanks again for all your comments and critiques :-)
Some of you ask for wireframe pics. Ok, these are on my site, but I can place here too.
