[WIP] Mystery Car

[VKTechnic]

Signs of life have appeared at the VKTechnic desk...

That looks like a good start to the project,

[AOW]

I noticed that 90% of Moc with Fake Engine are made in combination of V8 .... ok looks nice, sounds powerful but do all MOCs have to have the V8 ?

I am currently thinking of creating MOD of 8865 - using parts till 1994 - engine most likely will be R5 with supercharger (not turbo)

No suspension? You can easily add at at this scale...

[Lakop]

I would expect suspension on a model like this. What car will it be?

The model I'm basing this car on actually uses a V8 engine, was originally gonna make a V10 car. MOCs don't have to be V8. ;)

The reason I'm not using suspension is the bodywork: it's going to be very, very low.

Couldn't you put in some springs like Piterx has designed in their fake ones place? http://p-lego.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/useful-things-part-i.html

Looking good so far

I like the way this project is starting, should handle well on smooth surfaces without suspension- no body roll.

Added a gearbox with a realistic (albeit long) shift lever. Also trying out some wheel covers, not sure if I quite like them.

Oh, any guesses as to what car this is? Hint: It's German.

Mercedes SLS?

I really like the wheel covers!

BMW M3?

You got it!

[cgg199]

Oh wow! It can only be the E92 then?

It's actually the DTM version of the car:

Modeled the gearbox in LDD! File will be available here soon.

In the meantime, I'm struggling to find a good seat design that's mostly studless. Any suggestions?

(P.S. Anyone notice the new logo?)

Progress looks good, still waiting for the mustang though .

Looks like this is shaping up to be a really great car!
