EDS Auburn Concept

Here is my concept to bring the big sports car back to life. Not much now, and I think you'd all like the grille if you were to see it in person. It looks way too Edsel-like in the sketch.

The Auburn would be availible in 3 different engines;
Inline 8
V12
W16
Engine would be front-mid mounted
Running price would likely be around $200,000

Just one sketch for now.

the ford-edsel-grille is the only part I'm not sure about.
Like the retro split-screen

interesting thought, especially the use of an in-line 8.
The grille reminds me too much of an Edsel, and you probably are aware that was one of the main reasons why the public did not want to buy it

Nice drawing, with a few tweaks you could make it even better.

Very aggressive, it would look mean standing still and would look ferocious on the street. Nice work.
