GrunTex-R

Don't hold your breath for GM or anyone else to build this one... Future-retro AWD, is powered by twin-turbo bio-diesel V8, mounted in the rear.




Comments and critique always welcome.

It looks good

semi unfinished which may be intentional.

I think the color is great

Ya, for what ever reason, the early Tatra's came to mind, when I sketched this one... I am trying to leave my works in an 'unfinished' state, as I concentrate more on design and less on fiddling with the finishing touches (although working new colour combos, for graphic effect).

On a historical note, there's the issue of Dr. Porsche 'borrowing' a few of Tatra's ideas (so much so, that in the early '60s, a German court ordered VW to pay Tatra a substantial sum for those borrowed ideas). So whether Tatra or VW influenced, I think either would do.

Cool shape/design that's almost "toony" in proportions. Looks like something that would find a happy home in current times.
