i just had this leap out for some reason. i think i am ready to begin concepting cars fully from scratch. i won't judge this design yet. i'll let ya'll do that. feel free to rip it apart (or not). -have fun:

[lostprophets]

there's something about the front wheel...... it looks like it has more or less camber than the rear wheel but other than that i dont see anything

Hey, looks good for a first design. There are a few things wrong, design wise. You should spend more time on the design brief, like who is the buyer, price rance, practicality etc. Another thing, get the book How to Design Cars like a Pro. Sound kinda lame, but this book is simply amazing, the book I've been looking for my entire life for. It's so good for somebody like you, who is trying to get introduced with the basics, what to do/not to do. It's so good. If you're serious about this thing, check out this book, it is just that good.

yes, front wheel is off camber. that can be fixed.

yes, i will do that. i'm seeing that concepting is more than just throwing out any design. basically, it is industrial design. not my resident area. i believe that book is by tony lewin.

Very futuristic. Nice concept. Looks like a Hotwheels.

I am by no means an expert at concept design . . . but I do have a question , why does everyone do concepts with a cockpit looking center like a can am car , instead of a full interior sized car ? Besides that cool design , I would like to see this completed .

that is a great point. i dunno. i guess it appeals to the 'future airplane car' sort of expectation. maybe it is the sign of an amateur -like me!

how about this one (sorry for bleed off the page):

[mike@af]

The only thing I dont like on the first one is the roof scoop that I could sleep in. Other than that its pretty good, maybe with a smaller roof scoop it would look cool.

now thats what I like . Thats cool bro . Kind of a 240z look to it , I like it !

Nice and futuristic.

[castback]

i love the first one. maybe make the back tire a lot bigger.

the second one kinda looks like and old posche crossed with an aston martin or somethin

the last one is awesome!!! is it going to be an r.v? (great contest idea: concept r.v.) the headlights look like the tail lights off of the old caddys

[bonzelite]

the responses are intriguing so far.

hmm.
