Hi everybody,

Here I am to show you an antevision of my future Project. Don’t make particular attention to details, structures, proportions and so on, because this is only a draft.
This will be a mid-engined car, with a recent drivetrain and the main point is that the bodywork consistes in only three elements: a strong grill plenty of character and front and rear bonnets.
Please take a look and if you want see more about that, go to the site: http://www.viseudesign.com/mid-five.htm

Cheers
Amadeu Pires

the back looks great, i'm not a fan of the front though

I have to agree about the front - a little too retro for my taste. It reminds me of the 1950's Bugatti.
Love the back end though - a nice fusion of styles

love the frront but the front and back dont match style wise looks a bit like a cut and shut

other then that its g00000000d

This is a picture of my own middy 7 design.

Xico's car reminds me of the Edge Devil at the rear end, perhaps a more modern front end would suit, particularly as there's something similar to the Atom in there too....................

Is this solidworks or rhino? Any info on where to get started with this type of modeling.


The design is very inspring, reminds me of a retro-modern '32 ford roadster, and considering that the early fords embody an across the pond predecessor/similarity of the 7 (high speed, lo-cost, lightweight) I think its top notch.
Good work

While it's stylish on the screen, I think that you'll want to tone down the grille/frontal area. It's unnecesary and out of proportion. Where will all that air go? out the bottom? It also looks like a very long hoodline for a middie (hard to tell with no side views), Whats the wheelbase?

Show us more!

Got to agree, back looks stunning, front poss a little too high, grille does it no favours.

i really like it! both the front and back, and thats just not cause i really like orange. i agree witht the previous about looking like a more modern 1930's ford.

would love to know more details, engine, trans etc.
