[MOC] 5-seat, 7 studs wide car with steering

[Lira_Bricks]

Hello,

 

I wanted to make a lego car with the following requirements:

• 6 studs wide
• Working doors
• Steering
• A working small steering wheel
• A size that allows a minifig sitting in the car to look through the window and to look a minifig standing outside in the eye at the same height
• Have the required lights for European roads
• Still look realistic (ignore the horn and wings ^^)

Sadly I was not able to make it 6 studs wide. Below are a few assumptions I made. In case any are wrong please let me know.

• Minifig needs a seat of 2 by 2
• There must be a steering axle with width 1
• There must be an axle for the doors, which need a space of 1

1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 is 7, so if any of the above can be made smaller, a width of 6 might be possible.

I also want to make the car a bit shorter, but I don't see any place where that can easily be done

 

Anyway, here is the car as it is now!

And below is a size comparison. Both cars are equal in length, but the sportscar is higher.

Small note: the two back doors should be white instead of grey and the reverse light should be transparent white instead of transparent blue
