Default From concept to reality

I liked the zagato inspited Z300s but the more I looked the more it should be a modified swb - as others have commented the rear is much closer to the DB4 Barchetta.

So It was back to the drawing board literally.
I love the classic swoopy lines most modern cars lack but I didn't want an old looking car.

I was tempted by the concept cobras in the Kobra and Danny's thread.
Especially when I saw Danny's finished car - looks great and the colour is perfect.

I showed my son and he said "yeah looks good but still looks like an old fashioned car"

So I sat on google images and youtube trying to find inspiration.

I wanted the presence of a cobra with its purposeful stance.
I still love the zagato with its low slung nose.

Add to that Listers and Lolas and I still want to use 18" wheels and modern lighting.

Sketch after sketch I started looking for the answer.

Im still refining the details but I have the basic concept pinned down.



No photoshop here im afraid - just pencil and paper
Im still undecided on the rear diffuser details and each sketch they still change.
As does the wing vent.



In an attempt to visualise it further I tried using paint but im not very good with it.

The front is under wraps at the moment as Chris will help me turn a sketch into a reality.

Feel free to comment but please don't slag off my drawing skills
