Vandenbrink GTO Concept

[Duell]

PRESS RELEASE
Date: September 24 2006
Amsterdam


In the summer of 2006 Michiel van den Brink and Robert Koumans started the Vandenbrink Design company, located in the Netherlands.
The talented industrial designer Michiel van den Brink (28) is specialised in automotive design, with a unique modern interpretation of the DNA of classic automotive icons like Ferrari. Robert Koumans (44) is entrepreneur with a background in automotive and aerospace engineering, marketing and new media. Together they form a solid basis for establishing Vandenbrink Design as a high-end automotive and industrial design house.
The initial focus is on the realisation of the special sportscar designs which have been very well received by potential customers, especially the Vandenbrink GTO which was conceived as the 'Ferrari 599 GTO Mugello' concept study. Actual coachbuilding will be performed in cooperation with well-known Ferrari specialist and coachbuilder Hietbrink in the Netherlands.
Vandenbrink Design also offers her design talent and services to established and emerging car manufacturers and industrial product manufacturers.
The Vandenbrink Design company kicks off ambitious but with realism. However, the international interest in the GTO by sportscar enthusiasts and collectors exceeding expectations gives us hope that the GTO may be actually built. This would result in a dreamstart for the newborn Dutch automotive company Vandenbrink Design.

my thought; just a funny design but i will not make it past the concept phase.

Most of these new car companies have cars that resemble ferrari, lamborghini etc. the front looks aggressive but the rear is like a classic 50/60s american coupe.

[dydzi]

wow i know the designer of the car; nice to hear that car is going to be built, still not fully convinced wether it's true

[Rockefella]

Isn't that Michiel Mobiel from F-chat?

[092326001]

wow
it looks muscular from the rear
but from the front the roof is too high and look too much like the 8c but 8c looks better

[Street_Dreamer]

i LOVE the front of that car... that's wonderful

[ScionDriver]

I like it. A new interpretation on a beautiful car. Good stuff.

[Mr.Tiv]

Eh... It's not bad but it's not beautiful either.

This car looks life a Ferrari because it IS trying to resemble a Ferrari, an old Ferrari 250 GTO.

Sadly, it looks more like a Ferrari than, lets say, a Ferrari. Their other renderings look better though.

[ruim20]

Looks much better than the 599, a real option for thoose who dislike the new Ferrari designs.

Agreed. And why do they seem to over use the 612/599 front? It's ok, but using it for an older model like a 412 (I believe that's the one in the background) is wrong.

The one in the background is a Mondial.

[DesmoRob]

Wow, that's nice.
