Here goes. I've been drawing streamlined cars in my sketchbook for over six months now and it's time to make something of it. My plan here is to make a production possible four seat automobile that flaunts its aerodynamics instead of disguising them like the Prius and other contemporary hypermiler vehicles. (Something like a 4 seat EV1)
Here is a tiny sketch I did in my sketchbook. I can't really go too far drawing it because 2D=/=3D. The idea is like a Tatra 77: the body splits the air up and down, and the greenhouse splits it side to side.
I've already started a 3D computer model in Autodesk Alias. Screenshots when I get some more stuff done.
Possibly down the road I'd like to mill a 1:18 scale urethane foam model and test it in real life.
Very open to suggestions before I get too far in the model!
Stay tuned.
