Design me a car
Having a misses , 2 kids and a dog I would like to have something a bit special to drive daily
Needs to have back seats and a boot I was thinking of using an Alfa Romeo gt Cheap doner, and rake of the windscreen looks good Maybe a completely unique design not a replica of anything.but I was liking the Ferrari ff But Iam no good at photoshop etc Can anyone come up with any designs ? This has potential to be made if the design works and do you think the market needs a design like this ? |
something like this (ignore the crap photoshopping ;) [IMG]https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8686/2...c798869a_h.jpg_1ffkit by paul ward, on Flickr[/IMG]

nice cars - but I thought you had to generally include the proportions of the donor within the design?
|
That one you posted looks like this - the 612 GTO https://youtu.be/B-dZm0b5sMY

Does the market need a design like this
In a word yes lots of people are actually put off by the impracticality of the dream 2 seater purely because life doesn't fit in with it Decent 4 seater has to be a winner ? |
That's a good point.
I have been building kit cars since the 1980's. In that time there has been some good 4 seaters on offer but none were successful. There was the Rickman Metisse https://youtu.be/QjDLxN1_VrE Chad super sport ss4 https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ch...bqfaeEV5cJM%3A The Ginetta g26 g28 g30 g31 had reasonable following. And the quantum coupe / saloon sold in good quantities So while there maybe a market - is it small and fussy? |

Then what could Tribute do with a fixed hard top roof to keep the rear seats useable... But it drove off before my imagination could go any further. :rolleyes: Either way, it would be interested to see how this develops. Good luck, Paul. :) PS "Tudor" hot rods kits are another family option. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PwH4Gxy28M4/hqdefault.jpg |
I think that BMW would give a slightly better shape at the front than the alfa maybe - due to the front wheels being slightly further forward compared to the windscreen
|
Ive always thought that the Mazda RX8 would be a good base for this kind of conversion. Its a bit of an ugly duckling but fantastic to drive and they can be picked up very cheaply these days.

I am going down the same road, and currently 11 years in.
http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...ead.php?t=6080 However from your first concept and from the classic market trends and don't laugh I'd be looking for a good classic. Resto mod it, but keep all the original parts and don't do a mod you cannot unbolt. Three examples from the sublime to the ridiculous. |
