Whilst we are discussing engine configuration, I thought I'd post an old link I found in my favorites.
Ups and downs of configurations-

I am thinking a 3000cc I6, boxer 8, Flat-plane crank V8 or12, or perhaps a VR6-I don't really know though. Whatever would work...

I have a few things from there in my favs. They have been in there for a few years now. Just rediscovered that, and it seemed relevant. Good see that an engineer approves.

its excellent until you get the textbook bug and want to learn more - this is where it kicked of for me. There are no major discrepensies, nor any major bias. Just needs a little updating. Since he just got marriedd and works in China (while living in Japan) the website author cannot comit as much time as he has in the past - the advantage of ucp?

OK, new graphic, wheelbase down to 2850mm, Higher seats, a lot needs to be moved around, ideias?
"Religious belief is the “path of least resistance”, says Boyer, while disbelief requires effort."
wow, i at least, think my design fits well to that graphic there, but you guys tell me, its my second one, but its just a rough sketch, more lamborginish, though i do think the wheels are too big and it may be a little short, but you know, its a rough
I have an idea-
instead of a regular steel tube frame, how about a carbon fibre monocoque?
I think I can squeeze in a body around that
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
For the guys making the concept art, if you can use CAD go ahead and use it!
The back passenger has his knees way too high, meaning his ass is too low.
I don't mind the lamborghini style transmission layout but how the hell is the drive supposed to get from the transmission to the wheels? Look at a lamborghini skematic the back of the engine is in front of the rear wheel center line. In general some more space is needed for the engine.
You can go longer with the wheelbase. Why is everyone trying to cut that down so much? A longer wheelbase means stability and makes that car look more elegant. I would say that you can easily go to 3000mm without being too long.
I think that the passengers and driver can sit up higher, as this is a GT not a racing car we are making.
Power, whether measured as HP, PS, or KW is what accelerates cars and gets it up to top speed. Power also determines how far you take a wall when you hit it
Engine torque is an illusion.
