Here at uni there is a class about "bodywork design". Even if it doesn't involve designing it from a technical point of view and many things are pretty uhm, approximate, it's kind of an interesting subject, even more because the related project requires us to design a new bodywork for the Maserati MC12.
We are given a few restrictions and while other things can be changed.
Despite the lack of a technical approach, the main difficulties are about transforming an limited series car into a production model, therefore modifying many aspects of its body which don't comply with those rules.
Regardless, because of the 100th anniversary of Alfa Romeo, this year it was possible to theme the new bodywork around the Alfa brand, which is what me and my team picked. After far too much thinking, I started penning something, and even if I have a soft spot for that car, I found myself trying to emulate quite a lot the Pininfarina 33 Coupe. Fair enough.
It should be worth of note that I completely suck at drawing.
I've already have a lot of images of that car, but not so many from the top view. I was wondering if any of you had images about it and was willing to share them. I'm not particularly interested in their size, as far as they are not icons that is.
I'll attach mine as well, don't even know where I got them all, I'm pretty sure some of them were passed to me under the request of keep them hidden from the Internet. Sorry for that to whoever asked it. :p
