Nice! even if u'r doing it the reverse way, as Rain Knight pointed out anyway, that's some serious modeling, no doubt....looks great! U could at least post a small sketch of the overall car shape! just to give us the general idea!

There's nothing better than staring at a product you modeled on a screen getting into production and coming to reality.
No it is not reverse way. Many times this can happen too. Depends. For example the JAGS were designed to fit into the MONDEO chassis. The chassis was there and the design had to fit. Besides, a chassis can be modified to accomodate a new design sometimes. Anyway, every car is designed around HARD POINTS which are provided by engineering. Enginnering is always in charge, obviously, and is one of the reasons designers and engineers dont get along that well. But over time this gap is being narrowed. Almost always any car design must be modified to accomodate engineering data. It s a pretty typical real life scenario.
Thanks MasterrestaM, appreciate your comment! As I mentioned at the beginning of this thread, I'm going to build a slightly modified version of the McLaren MP4. Hope this covers the question about the overall shape of the body. I will build the same car but slightly modified. Maybe take some shapes from another super cars like i did before LINK.
Thanks to all for the crits and comments.

Sure you always have hard points to get around with but first idea is always an exterior design intention, that will be modified to accomodate technical issues. Here he's talking about a Concept, that's why I was mentionning this strange way of working. Believe me I've been engineering and building concept cars for 4 years.
Sure sometimes the brief is to design a new car based on an existing chassis, but that's not exactly a concept car then....
Ye! I was intendin what Rain Knight told, u have basic points from where to start, but u can't call a concept a car that's from another mechanical car, i'd prefer calling this operation a redesign..in fact mondeo is not that concept, let me say I know how it works, ass i've been talking with many famous designers and saw some great designs taking life in my university, Design is Design, u'll never buy a car cos it ahs a good looking chassis! the reverse way can be good this time to safe time IMO, or to get base proportion, but in the end u'll need to modifiy that for sure if u don't like also a small part of the final shape!
Anyway, those details are great! I already saw the mp4 in the first page, but that didn't told me anything particular on ur concept! Now i saw ur last concept, i understood...is gonna be a good car. Keep going Fantasymaster! waitin for more!
