    Competitor testing / benchmarking - wind tunnel

    Styling/Design phase

    Initial modelling of themes - CFD
    Scale modelling - wind tunnel
    Full Scale clay - wind tunnel
    Aerobuck testing - wind tunnel
    Cooling aerobuck testing - wind tunnel
    Cooling airflow - CFD

    Quality maturation

    Continued aerobuck testing - wind tunnel
    Prototype aero surveys - wind tunnel
    Production vehicle status tests - wind tunnel

    Your CFD guy's going to be sat there for quite a while, twiddling his thumbs
    now if anyone else was replying theyd argue and quote lots of crap...but i cant be arsed! you win again.

    I think you might want to get alittle more head room for interior space as well as the typical reinforcements of a roof.

    I like the blockey front end

    We need to see the back though (it's cut off from the pictures) and may I suggest that you don't enclose the engine in the same compartment as the cabin. It makes cooling that much easier.
    Thanks, it's still very primitive, i didn't do the back, just wanted to see how the top and middle lines could be.

    The car needs more imput from everyone. Where the hell is the rest of the design team!?

    Also Ruim at a later date when the engine department has come further along with engine design I would like to see several duct designs. Since it is a mid-mounted engine there will probably be some form of intake scoops on the sides near the rear wheels or maybe up on the C pillars...

    It would be great to see something that looks good on the design you have come up with so far.
    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.

    Yeap, that has to be defined to, most importantly, if it is going to be a very visual intake or a more refined and discreet one.

    just draw on top of the "clean" seat/wheel/engine squematic, any type of design/crazy ideia you can come up with. new ideias are allways welcome.

    I finally sketched something; it's terrible, and this project might be dead, but I'll contribute.
