Tom,

Looks cool. It sort of has a Lancia Stratos vibe going on, and Lancia has made some beautiful cars in the past, especially in the 70' and early 80s.

Besides the Stratos, they had the 037 Stradale and the Delta S4. I saw a few while I was stationed overseas and would have loved to have had the money to buy one and bring it to the States...

Again, good job with the concept.

-Steve

Looks great! Looks like something Porsche would have done if they went in a sporting mode at the time. Any other view from different angles?

These are beautiful, in my opinion.
I especially admire the red 928.
Wow, I would love to see one of these rumbling down the road.
Thank you.

Tom, really nice.

I like how you designed the front bumper cooling duct, looks to me how Porsche may have done it. The rear defuser is the only element that looks a little out of place on a 928 to me but what do i know..

Now that you have modeled the wide body, could that information be uploaded and fender and quarter flares be manufactured?

I would really like a set, and the wheels ! Great design work-Matt

The Don Hansen racer could be made into this car.

Kind of cool; it's got that Mad Max vibe going on it.

Hi Matt. Thanks for the comments.

The front bumper duct idea is really taken from the 968. I agree, I think that possibly could have been a Porsche future development of the 928 bumper intake.

I'm not sure about the exact 3D printing or sculpting method that would be used but it would certainly be a good starting point. I'd love a set too!

I've tried to give everything in the design a practical reason for being there. I know what you mean re the diffuser. It's a tricky one.

Thanks again,

Tom

Tom,

I learned that there are people that can help hone a design by being constructive when critiquing a long time ago. I had a fellow Designer i worked with that taught me this. We would casually talk, joke and before we knew it the design was 'right'.

I would like to see this design cleaned up just a little by you.

Maybe lose the old fashioned door locks, the dreaming graphics (which distract) the louvered rear window and reduce the size of the roof spoiler?

Think how Porsche would do it if they built a pumped up 928GT3!

I think Steve McQueen would approve of your vision.

Default concept

As my automotive "formative years" were the era of late Trans Am,early IMSA and FIA groups 4&5 I love fender flares,especially riveted on.
