Project Ferrari 612 Stradale Concept

Veyron · #1 06-30-2005, 09:15 AM

Time to build the companion to my 612 GTC for the ACME NNL in November which has a theme called, "Road and Track". The road car will be a 612 Stradale of my creation....so far the mission is:

Viper SRT-10 Hood, and another set of it's hood vents will be in the side cove behind the front wheel opening.

Front wheel opening will be made a bit smaller and body will be widened a smidge.

The rear 'spoiler' will be raised more like the 360 Stradale.

Front mini spoilers and side skirts may be extended some.

Enzo engine, wheels, steering wheel and seats will be used.

So far the color choice is Azzurro California.

In the pics you see the resizing of the hood etc.

Sweet! Looks like you're off to a good start. Good idea about changing the size of the front wheel opening--the Enzo wheel is kind of drowning as it is.

Great Ideas

Hood goes well with the car

Another "that's just the way it should have been done" project from you!!!

This hood is already a great improvement to the basic model... I've decided to already sit on the floor the next time I come here... It will hurt less when opening this thread... :d

good god that's a sick idea, I am still sitting on my Porsche 959 with a 911 GT1 hood on it... but looking good.

The Enzo engine block is a few mm's longer than the 612 one but there's plenty of room under the hood. I cut the tranny from the 612 block and glued it to the Enzo block, it doesn't have to be perfect for it is barely visible after the model is completed.

The engine mounts had to be relocated so I cut them from the Enzo block and glued them to the chassis. Next I sanded them to fit the 'V' of the block and positioned the block where it needs to be.

Cut the snorkles from the Enzo and 612 breather intakes and glued the 612 ones to the Enzo breather.

The basic test fit of the new power plant.

Wow, nice progress. Are you going to change the interior?

loving that chrome for under the bonnet, you should do that as well on the opposite side of the hood.

Nice work so far! I like the front placed Enzo engine. I hope this one turns out just as outstanding as the GTC. Keep it up!

Continuing with the body work....I cut the hood vents from another Viper hood the grafted them into the side coves, added a strip of styrene inside the front wheel opening to enclose it some, added plastic on the nose in between the head lights because I want to bring all that section to one level and lengthen it a bit. Got the basic rear spoiler shape, alot of shaping to do there.
