Got rear wheel covers? (McLaren X-1 concept)
 
On top of a supercar McLaren MP4-12C, a client wanted a design mash up of classic cars into one. At least, they added a rear wheel cover on top of this mutt of a design. McLaren X-1 Concept created as one-off for anonymous client

For some reason I doubt the anonymous client had FE in mind. But if I'm wrong, and s/he is a member of this forum, please let us know:)

I find it interesting on how they implemented access to the rear wheel by lifting the skirt. ;)

Wow, is that cool.

Alright, I'm just going to say it... that thing is Ugg-leee! Yes, it's cool how the skirts are raised, but what a clash of straight and curved lines, chrome & black... sheesh...

If that's what the client likes, no problem... but while I love (lust after?) McClaren designs normally, that is one I don't...

Don't worry, Nacht, you won't have to look at that thing on your neighborhood's streets every morning;)

Something old is new again. There are several solutions for aero-fender skirts. HowStuffWorks "1947-1948 Isotta Fraschini 8C Monterosa Presentation"

Phew! Assuming the client doesn't live in my neighborhood, anyway... :p

You mean this?

The foglight shape reminds me of some of the newer Mazdas.
