Project: "Panther ZR-3000" (concept).
Used programm: 3Ds MAX

If you like this car design, just wait. My current project completely decimates the one shown.

Why do I design cars? The main reason I design cars is for have fun. I enjoy doing this. Next, I would like to sell my car designs. I am not looking for a simple price, but a contract with a company that actually builds cars.
In general, I want my designs to be practical. They have to be constructible. I don't assume advances in technology, but allow for them. They also have to be practical for the consumer market.
Well enough about why do I design cars, and now the goals in my car design. First performance is the most important issue. I consider everything I can think of. I consider engine size, placement, air passage, mechanics, efficiency, internal drag, wasted space, external aerodynamics (drag, downward lift), and much more. Next comes style. Performance nearly always wins over style. Often, when something enhances performance, it automatically enhances style. Usually style and performance do not conflict. Usually stylistic additions do not harm performance, but as a general rule, performance beats style.
I'm aiming for a semi-futuristic design. Please do not confuse this with the idea most people have of futuristic designs. Many ?futuristic¦ designs I've seen would make a physicist laugh. They make parachutes look like a Ferrari. My aim is for a design what will top stylistic and performance standards years from now.

If you're just a fan of car design and have ideas, but just can't design cars, feel free to tell me your ideas. Also, if you want to critique my car, please contact me. I love suggestions.
