Well, I can tell just from the photo that there's not much VW in it! Front panel and door tops seems to be about the extent of it. I'm imagining some kind of American van or truck chassis under there, although who knows what it could be. Or what it will be used for. Very cool proportions though. I hope the wing isn't a permanent feature.

It scares me a little bit.
It's like a slammed Airstream with a snowplough on the front. (I'm not saying that this is a bad thing.)

rear wheels look photoshopped, i suspect its just the angle of the rear arch making them look odd though, bus looks mean, needs to stay polished alloy coloured.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

It hoovers you up as it steams past (shortly before it eats your soul).

looks like its runnig a bus/bug front beam though, with bug wheels fitted back to front, so theres at least some vw running gear in there.
i agree it needs the windows to continue, and it needs something at the back to stop it looking like a sausage, but not neccessarily that wing..........

Quite possibly poking up through the roof. Because even looking at the shell of this thing, you know that it's going to have at least one rear-mounted V8! |

The front end and 'midships' Excellent!! If you look closely through the windows you'll notice that the shelf on top of the dash is about 6' deep!! Driver's gonna be sat some distance from the front. |

I think it's amazing and looks so damn hard!
I also agree on the rear, too much like a cigar tube. Some kind of subtle tailfin treatment on the rear flanks might work? I can kinda picture it in my head but that's not really much help.
I don't think more windows would work, it would draw your eye away from the bold front end 'slot' of windows which is what enhances the aggressive look.
Incredible concept and execution. I saw this in the Streamliners thread and just sat there saying "WOW" to myself.

Needs to have the gutter line that the Type 2 has going around the edge of the roof to break up the line between side panel and roof. Also needs to have a big-inch turbo diesel lorry engine with angled slash-cut stacks, two either side ought to do it...

This one is definately based on a toy as I've seen them at a few stalls around the VW show's , it's not the hotwheels drag bus though , this is a different model complete with 6 wheels and a big wing on the back and that crazy looking bodywork ... I'm damned if I can remember the make though !  Anyway's , I think the real one's gonna be FANTASTIC !  |
