Aston Martin DBC concept
#17
I absolutely love it...with the exception of the vents in the doors. What purpose could they possibly serve. Overall it's certainly a lot better looking than the AM Bulldog from the 80's (which is still cool in it's own way).

Sadikhow's mid rear engined concept is outstanding. Look him up, Samir has been around and knows all the visual, eye grabbing tricks.
His pictures have major feasibility issues, however. (A design is "feasible" when all involved in its build, engineering, manufacturing, purchasing and assembly, agree it can be made to government regs and company standards.)
Issues apparent in the pictures include:
-approach angle and front end ride height, even assuming an adjustable suspension from the driver's seat.
-wheel/tire clearance to sheet metal (carbon fibre?).
-combustion air openings in the skin.
-at least a passing salute to the mulitude of Federal and EU regulations for:
.front and rear damageability (let's not lead with the grille).
.an A pillar and windshield angle that can pass rollover and you can see through.
A package study, both profile and plan views, would answer a lot of questions. Will 'Oscar' fit inside this skin, plus all the mechanicals. Will people be able to drive it (reach and operate the controls) and see out of it in its exagerated reclining seating position.
To insure a viable market volume, price (and performance) targets could be Audi R8.
The most feasible Samir view, IMO, is the rear. Wouldn't it make a fine in cycle change for the Vantage?
Sadikhow's pictures are a great start. I will have mine in Tungsten, please.
