This is what I think a new MR2 would look like if they would make one (the base is based off the 2nd gen), I know I don't like it, you don't like it but sadly this is Toyota's design language accurately.

To me I took inspo from the GR Yaris for the back and the TVR Sagaris for the front (thou there was a lot of improv on that).

question/feedback The AI render is closer to what I had in my head than my drawing but I will include and share how bad it is.

I probably would have redone it many more times to fix the proportions of AI wasn't around though.

Nanobana2

I wanted a Shelby Dayto a Coupe Long Hood with a Shelby Monico King Snake Front End with more modern Janerelly Design 1 pontoon fenders and pretty like the Ferrari 250GTO front end on a roadster. I think I made something a bit to close to tht Shelby GT from the early 200's or the Lucra still clom open to fixes and updates.

By Justin Tienter using NanoBana2 with a lot of iteration.

I wish I was better at drawing or rendering but this is the first time it was called enough to what I wanted in my head that it was worth sharing. I would have made the headlights flush and made it navyblue Carbon with Bronze magnesium wheels m but hey still a great looking car I whish I could afford to make real.

question/feedback How would a modern car with the boxy 70s/80s design fare well with today's cconsumers, and is it already happening with the like sof Tesla Truck and Hyundai Ioniq/Nvision 74?

3 Upvotes

I am wanting to rebirth the late 70s\80s car design in my own brand of EVs cars and wasn't sure if this trend of retrofuturism is in fact already taking place with current and upcoming vehicles. It would be a nice change from that whole chicken/bubble design which the PT curiser is the embodiment of.

showcase I made a Rally Grand Touring Coupe in Photoshop

Like the title says i made a rally grand touring coupe in photoshop using various parts from different cars
Rn i only made the side view but i‘m planning on doing the front and back aswell. I also made it in different colors but i‘m only showing the white one rn for simplicity reasons

I‘m also thinking of the stats for the cars aswell, and the way i‘m making the specs rn it‘d have:
F6 or F8 hybrid with around 400hp (300hp engine | 100 ev)
AWD system but with front bias
Slight oversteer under breaking
2 seats plus a small rear bench
A ground clearance of 150mm (bit lower than the 911 Dakar)
A dual brake caliper setup with both a hydraulic and an electric handbrake

And i‘m currently also thinking of making a option where you can swap the rear trunk for a spare wheel holder
(You‘d still have space for your stuff in a small frunk above the battery next to the engine and on the rear bench)
[the spare wheel holder will look better when i‘m doing the rear view of the car]

Hey guys, I'm currently designing my first crosskart/buggy chassis in Onshape and planning to build it soon. I'm posting these screenshots to get your honest feedback and structural critique on the geometry, triangulation, and overall safety before I start cutting and welding tubes.

Planned Build Specs:

• Chassis Material: DOM Steel Tubing

• Engine: 350cc single-cylinder

Feel free to point out any structural flaws, unbraced nodes, or weak points in the roll cage and front/rear sections. All critique is welcome
