WIP Mini Ferrari Portofino

[Matty04]

I wanted to include full independent suspension, with positive caster and MacPherson strut in the front and rear trailing arms, a working front-mid placed 90° v8 engine, working steering wheel + HoG, convertible top, openable hood, doors and trunk.

From now on I plan to do the convertible top mechanism and I consider it quite a challenge as I would like it to operate as close to the real thing (google it) and I'll keep you updated as the build progresses.

I have worked on the chassis for a while now and this is what I came up with:

And yes, I plan to change that background, coloured cardboard doesn't really do the trick, I promise this is the last time you'll see it.

Hey, your chassis is already cool enough with all that features. I would have not considered that possible in 42093 scale.
