Car Design Fetish

Design From the Mouths of Designers.

It is sooooo easy to design a Super Car…….

Posted by Scott Digital On May - 16 - 2007

It is sooooo easy to design a super car……. this is a common statement made among car design students quite often. I heard it time and time again as I was a student, and finally, there is proof to my argument that designing a super car is not as easy as it may seem.

This statement comes about because a super car already has a sweet proportion, is low to the ground, wide, with huge wheel arches, and an athletic stance. Many argue that you can not mess it up too bad; well here is my proof, that designing a super car should not be attempted by the unskilled. Holy tortured surfaces Batman.

(Weber Press Release, who cares when the car is soo harsh on the eyes) The aerodynamic tuning is probably the most important thing from a super sportscar. Our technicians have spent a long time with the optimism. Over a period of nine months new models were designed again and again. The perfect result can be showed! Reaching the finale speed of over 400 km/h is guaranteed. Important in this case are those contact pressure in the front and in the rear, so that the vehicle remains stable at the street. The engine and transmission interpretation were determined due to these dates. We have a power reserve of 15%, in order to reach the final speed.

The adaptive wing is constructed for excellent acceleration and for best results by braking.

In slow motion is the rear spoiler retracted and will be extended during acceleration.. The position of the spoiler is variable and is affected by the car condition. The rear spoiler will be in a vertical position during the breaking process. The maximum breakpower will be 4’000 N which the car will reach additional.

    Is this the stretched skin over bone theme? Kind of like Ashley Olsen and her anorexic body.

    OK, design is subjective, we understand. Now scrap this concept and pay an auto designer to design something that does not make me want to stab myself in the eye with a prismacolor.
