Everything from the windshield back has potential (although the details need a lot of fixing) but the front completely ruins it. Voted terrible.

I appreciate the effort. I don't know if I'd call it terrible, but it ain't good, that's for sure

Never mind. With that roofline and glass, I could forgive some of the grille, but without those classic pillars? Terrible

eh. it's far from the worst concept car rendering i've seen. most of the lines go places, it's not covered in pointless folded metal, and it's small and generally well-proportioned. do i need to repost the gm concept trucks from a few pages ago?

i'd say it's currently fine and with a couple more iterations it might even be attractive.

oh who cares. concept cars aren't about safety. it's about creating a idealized look that you later refine into something that meets all the regulations. the windshield might have to be changed but for the concept purposes it works.

same thing as high fashion. nobody is going to be wearing clothes made of broken glass and peacock feathers and whatnot, but you'll see elements of those shapes and colors and patterns in the designer's eventual production work.

Designers not understanding what character is when re-designing an old car is wild. Like guys and gals you work in a very visual field so how are you missing what makes the original look great?

Squaring off the wheel arches makes everything from the beltline down just another car. Serious failure to actually modernize a design.

I have a question about this, is there some aerodynamic advantage to squaring the wheel arches? It looks like every single car has a flat portion around the wheel well now, from every brand. Pickups and such excepted.

Ease of manufacture. Pickups have it in the metal too, they just put plastic poo poo over it to hide it.

There's a terrible movie called "Joshua Tree" that prominently features an F40 (and also a warehouse full of Countaches) that was shown to me by a friend who insisted they were all real. I'm sitting there saying "...nnnnnooo, that is clearly a Fiero kit. They are driving it through the chaparral desert on a dirt road and the body panels are flopping all around like they going to fall off"

He was unmoved and still believes. Now I have serious doubts about his ability to understand orders of magnitude in budget numbers
