LOL. Everyone get's anal over anything non VW. Those are Chevy bolt patterns!
I couldn't find any photos of ET mags (for VW) that could easily be photoshopped. So, I just lifted the same mags off a Corvette.

J'aime ça!

With the blue color, look's like an Alpine A110.

Claude your English is better than my French!

Claude, your english is great. By the way, I spent 9 years directing commercials in Canada, a few in Quebec. Fantastic city.

AS for it looking like a Alpine... not even close. The color is coincidental. This is a photoshopped prototype that I've rendered using various parts and pieces of other cars. Mostly it's my own design with everything illustrated over the original chassis photo. :D

just a thought....for the racetrack look....what would it look like with Fender skirts front and back...and or make the wheel wells follow the tire diameter...? just an idea..

:D

no bad thing. It's the only French car which I can appreciate with the Bugatti.

You forget the Simca and the Renault Dauphine ;)

from the 2 cars, the blue one seems nicer, and well balanced. i agree the wheel wells are a bit too wide, but that can be changed.

one thing though, the original car has the "door"area in a different way than the photoshops, how will the door fit there?

how about some air scoops for the engine ? if it's mid mounted it will need some cold air suction system from outside.

too bad i cannot draw or use photoshop... :cry: i said it could be a nice creative contest, but now madfish gets all the credits.. aiheitiu :lol:

Could someone more familar with photoshop incorporate a Ferrari 250 LM rear wheel arch air intake into the blue one
