Hi everyone !

After my articulated tractor, I made a supercar.

79616020150114165044.jpg

It has the classic functions of a supercar :

  • Steering with return to the steering wheel
  • Full independent suspension
  • Fake engine with gearbox

I added 3 other functions with a little bit of originality : front and rear cover can be opened by a lever in the interior.

The doors have an uncommon kinematic. They look like the Lykan Hypersport doors. (http://images.hgmsit...100433693_l.jpg)

For the design, I choosed a red and black color scheme. Black is for the covers and the roof. I tried to have good and fluid shapes, without holes.

The fake engine is a V10. It is decorated by exhausts.

I have used the gearbox of the Nathanaël Kuipers's Concept Car (http://mocplans.com/..._main_photo.jpg)

Rear cover opened :

The doors opening was difficult to make. The pivot axis is placed in diagonal. The scroll wheels are placed behind the roof.

Looks very good! This is a bit off topic, but does anyone know where to buy those wheels, it think they are from the set 41999, but is there an easy way to buy the rims? (I LOVE the while around it)

Thanks ! :)

so small and so many functions!

This car is not small. The scale is similar to the LMP1 #42039. (a little shorter)

It is possible to add rims around wheels with paint. Some people have ever done that.

Unfortunately since there's only 20000 of that set made that means those wheels won't be manufactured anymore, so bricklink is your best friend, or worst enemy once you see the pricetag. :tongue:

(Still Off Topic) I searched them and they were 13$ a piece, x 4 = 52$ plus tax, which is SUPER expensive... I wish I got the set when i could, the rims would be great for the porsche I'm trying to build...

Nice and neat build Anto! The opening elements and very nicely done.

Black wheels plus a white adhesive vinyl around the edge :wink: There are better ways to spend $52.

Wow, That is a smooth looking car :thumbup:

I really like the flow that you achieved with your panelling. It is so clean... :wub:

And then fitted with all the functions... very ingenious... And those rims just make the wheels pop. Beautiful.

I would like to see a few photos that aren't close ups though. To get a better feel for the entire shape.

Are the top and bottom of the door rigidly connected, or do they rely on friction to keep them close together?
