Hey Mike! i landed on this awesome page, read all your comments & kept seeing this piece of beauty for a while...i think cutlines would have helped so much to justify the monobyish feel...Any updates on this one??? im still eagerly waiting! Cheers!
Mike Turner Dec 11, 2011

Cheers Marc . . the engine was fun to do. . no complex NURBS for a change!!
Marc Senger Dec 08, 2011

Truly world class surfacing control. Love the engine window!

Cheers Neil - maybe you can make me one sometime?!!

Devin - you're 100% right. I'd imagined the plexiglass cover being removed on race-days . . it's just there to provide a thin veneer of civility in daily use!
Devin Coakley Nov 30, 2009

Beautiful concept! looks amazing, but let those stacks breathe!
Rob King Nov 13, 2009

very cool Mike

This is my kind of roadster, Mike! Love your stuff mate!

Image was done using Autodesk Showcase - this is a really nice piece of software - and delivers this image quality in realtime: this is just a SCREENGRAB!
Roshan Hakkim Sep 05, 2009

hot work Mike!Lovely representation!one doubt,which renderer did you use?
Vipin George Sep 05, 2009

this is nice.. both car and the presentation...
Sameer M Jul 11, 2009

Its coming out pretty nice Mike...the rear end is dominating the overall form ( although i dont mind it, gives a feeling of a meaty rear wheel drive monster ) - front graphics are spot-on...would like to see how the rest follows up with the front.......... all the best !!
Alp Germaner Jul 10, 2009

so true :) awesome Mike !
Mike Turner Jul 07, 2009

Not til I model the cylinders it hasn't!! Thanks David, I appreciate your comment. This project will just run and run til I can't think of any further ways to make it any nicer as a design . . and THEN I'll resurface it all to get the data up to VW standards . . my folio lacks these high-end projects, as most of this type of work gets done under NDA, so I can't show it or keep a copy of the files.
David Cathro Jul 07, 2009

Great looking roadster.. looks like its got some horsepower
Mike Turner Jul 06, 2009

Agree with your observations entirely. Although I'm not specifically aiming for a particular marque, I do want the design to feel distinctly retro and curvy. For me there's inevitably a feeling of old Alfas and perhaps even Daytona Cobras in there as well . . no bad thing!
Ali Jafari Jul 06, 2009

it looks pretty interesting so far... to me the front looks like a cross breed of a Porsche (perspective view) and a Ferrari (top view) Great work mate
Matt Dean Jun 15, 2009

SICKKKKK
Roshan Hakkim Jun 04, 2009

nice form Mike!cant wait...
Mike Turner Jun 04, 2009

Thanks guys - my feeling is to do something with a very classic shape, and then apply discreet contemporary GT detailling. The feel of the Halibrands is nice, but I suspect that by the time I'm done they - like everything else - will be revisited and refined many times. At this stage, this is just a very rough "digital clay" model to help me narrow the design down and clarify the overall proportions and character lines - after this, it'll need a lot of love and fine-tuning!
Gary Major Jun 04, 2009

Overall form and those big fat Halibrands reminds me of the Cobra Daytona, with a bit of classic Zagato thrown in too. Top work mate!
Michael Gillett Jun 03, 2009

Nice shape, real pressence in the stance. Love the way the rear haunch and the roof meet so closely, yet dont make the front look too high at the same time. Proportions there work well. I presume the side windows are WIP though? I think developed window shapes will really bring the shape of the roof out. Cant wait to see the plan on the rear lights either, lots of potential in that shape. More soon i hope!

Mike Turner Apr 25, 2009

Spring turned out to be busier than I thought, but I definitely ain't complaining! . . . this project is gonna take longer to develop than I'd originally envisaged - sorry guys!
Mark Wells Apr 19, 2009

Nice work fella

Gary Major Nov 25, 2008

From what I've already seen, this is going to be sweet.
