Starting off with a sideview when sketching a car is always a smart thing to do. Now how you translate that to an actual vehicle, in actual 3-D, with an actual design theme can be a bit of a challenge.
The Lexus Nuaero is a sweet-looking side view. Translated into a full-on vehicle doesn’t work so well. The idea behind this concept from student Jon Rådbrink is of a new, highly aerodynamic philosophy that works like a hydrofoil on land. While it actually does have some Lexus brand in it, it also tends to sway towards the less-believable side and delve into wishful thinking.
Once again, great sideview sketch. I like the sensual lines that define the body silhouette (something that Lexus has lost over the years as it became a Lincoln/Caddy fighter) and the ovular glass reveals the occupant in a nice way, but the interior is lacking that extra finesse that the exterior does. A little more work and this could’ve been a great perspective sketch as well, but not yet. Some tweaking is needed.
