Hmm.. looking closr at the finished design, decided to deviate a little from the "official test" scheme of paint and go for my own slight design change.

I decided to brake up the color by adding a yellow carbon kevlar strip like so:



also note the completed fuel filler cap and carbon fiber intake gills

engine test fitted:







Close up of the cf intake gills:

You like the new paint scheme?

Re: Re: Tamiya Toyota GT-One Test Car

dude. if that thing were real, it would be fucking awesome to drive. I was watching billionaire toys II on travel channel, and they showed some of the toyota race cars in a garag museum, and i swear I saw that car. Then they did the thing, where they build an S7 (another amazing RR car) to fit the person driving it. flew them from new york, at the airport the guy drove a saleen conv. stang to get his silver S7. he said he'd drive it all the way back. must be awesome to drive one of those cars.
