I would rock the Version 4 for sure..you know, If you actually made it..then copied it and sold it.

But...The height of the wheels is somewhat unrealistic. There is nooo way you could get wheels to sit that high in the front of the FC without cutting out the whole upper strut and frame.

Then again from the rear shot, it doesn't look as high..just from the front.

Great concepts! Loving it, keep it coming! PLEASE!

Dltreezan 01-25-10 08:23 AM

why not make sure the top half of body line especially the door windows remain stock, as well as the hatch that way there is a real correlation..

Gregory Casimir 01-25-10 09:22 AM

i like the final sketch but like what dltreezan said, you could try to leave the top part of the car alone to retain some correlation to the car. But other then that it looks awesome. I really like the front end but I really wanna know how you would do the front wheel arches on the chassis?

Enjoy Version 4

as far as the rear end goes, i think that maybe this be a bit of an inspiration for you: 599xx
it has a more aggressive stance, and i think a similar rear, with similar lights to the pic you have posted, and it would really be a good match for that front end, which i am a very big fan of.

anyways, i'm just another opinion, choose to use or not use it.:icon_tup:

remarkable design.
if you ever need a FC to show it off IM HERE!!!

rotordad 06-14-10 12:22 AM

Great ideas, the sketches look really good!

Gryffinwings 06-14-10 12:31 AM

This is totally SICK!!! I would definitely do this to my vert if I had the funds to do it.

littlemimus 06-14-10 01:23 AM

let me know when the kit is for sale!!!

astrochild7 06-14-10 02:09 AM

yep id buy the first or last sketch.. make it

K!NCH 06-14-10 02:39 AM

Reminds me of the LF-A

iani1.1 06-14-10 03:36 AM

brian_skotch 06-14-10 12:21 PM

Actually it strikes me as a combo of the LFA and the Genesis Coupe.

s2kguy17 06-15-10 02:33 PM

interesting that you guys see a mix of LF-A ques in the sketch when the LF-A wasn't even part of my reference material. I cant even tell you what the LFA looks like without pulling pictures off the internet.

domestic abuser 06-17-10 03:49 AM

Nice, I like the Super GT look.

clint999 06-18-10 05:10 AM

Your absolutely right about softer edges, on many kits it takes away from the bodylines. My only argument with this is that GTC bodies typically have sharp edges to divert airflow to other chambers in the body to promote aerodynamics. The design i made was directly referenced to JGTC GT Touring, and Formula cars and obviously they don't have much soft edge fender lining. The look of the car isn't that big of a deal for me, its how well i can modify the flow of air around the car is where i was going with this design. Thanks for your input tho, If i were to market a kit it would have softer edges.

djAngel 06-18-10 12:18 PM

All I gotta say is your FC better have 700+ HP already before you do this...It'll be quite embarrasing if you still have 200. lol Maybe even 400 would still not be good.

NoPistons! 06-19-10 03:16 AM

I like the first version. If it ever came to be in real life i'd jizz myself all over again.

I hope you know that SuperGT cars have only a 300hp class and a 500hp class, and the RE-A Super FD has only a rating of 300hp.

Theres nothing retarded about having low power as long as all that output is being used efficiently and has stability.

So the only one being embarrassed is you because you fail to understand the dynamic of the build.

It is possible to create the original vert desisn using these: #1 FC 2000 front bumper
#2 Odula Canards
#3 Hi Flex Type 225 fenders
#4 Corksport Extention Fenders
#5 Corksport 30 or 50mm rear fenders (modified with air vent and fab fender strake)
#6 Fabricate Panstyle hood See related picts :

Put those 6 picts from my above onto the body, see related picts : and with a little creativity with bondo and fiberglass, it'll come out lookin like your conception : except for I don't know how the rear end looks.

I believe an FC is a low cost car since many of us own it..To make it look this extravagant and modern, it should be very done up in the build of the motor as well. All Show and No Go is not the way you want to bring up an FC. Don't take this to heart, Pal...It's just a very obvious point

I agree with you hands down the motor is an important part of the build and should beconsidered first ,however this post is about a concept coming to life, and when he starts talking about his motor build then your expertise is surely welcomed.

rotordad 06-20-10 04:40 AM

I'm sure that if he produced a car with this kit in the sketch, the amount of attention to detail would carry over to other aspects of the car such a powertrain & drivetrain.

KidA 06-20-10 08:00 AM

fr real send that shit to mazda before they fuck up the new 7

Picture these parts molded in properly, alot of work, then fabricate a hole in the rear bumper and fabricate some fender strakes, sorry for the crappy picts but you get the idea :

the mariah rear fenders should do the trick

the problem i have with that setup is not the fenders but how the door flows into those fenders, with an abrupt change in direction which i think is an eye sore.

I think the Greedy1 kit Picts # 1and # 2 or this kit ??? pict # 3 (might be custom made) have the holes pre molded into the fenders already, its just a matter of fabricated the frakes to fill in the air ducts and then finished with a door mod to blend into the fenders.

RXVERT 07-05-10 12:46 PM

Sorry me, I'm going on and on about you're original vert concept and I get excited everytime I see your picture, Nobody can take away from the Brilliant Visions, you have stored in your mind, I agree with the others when they say send those ideas to Mazda ,( but do it properly so you get the credit and some money , maybe even a job ) those ideas are better than what they will be releasing soon. But as the the vert concept, I was trying to look at it relistically, what I showed you can be accomplished, as for the newer concepts, they can be accomplished also but you'll need sponsors with alot of $$$$$. ( Time and Money ) Dont stop your dreams, because of what I'm saying, were ALL rooting for you. Carry On. :nod:

RXVERT 07-05-10 02:43 PM

P.S.S. I mentioned you'll need sponsors with alot of money, disguard that, what you'll need is the material which is gonna be costly if you can get members to donate material then all all you need is the time ( plenty of it ) your goal is achievable.

Hypertek 07-05-10 02:58 PM

scrap the FC, start with an FD chassis =)

RXVERT 07-05-10 04:17 PM

Hypertek is correct with the 3rd Round Concept drawings ,start with the FD chassis, however with the 1st two concepts reality is More Achieveble and Affordable using the FC chassis and body.

gameova 07-05-10 04:33 PM

yup start off with a FD chasis instead, can't go wrong with that setup

WingsofWar 07-06-10 12:37 AM

ill come up with a widebody version of my own specifically for the FD. Iv already have some renders being produced for other vehicles and i am trying to import the cages to maya or 3dmax for some 3d rendering.
