Rep Power: 7  | Rexona ad car?
Has anyone else seen the yellow very GT40-esque car in the latest Rexona ad here in Oz. It has a lot of similar features, but a few differences too (such as suicide doors). If anyone knows anything about it I would love to hear. Anyway it is a cool looking car. I wish i had a picture I could post.

Yeah, have seen it once in NZ. Was wondering if was real or a computer generated model. The interior doesnt look right when the door is opened. | |

Appears to be based on the 'GT' going by the body cut lines etc, not sure that it's a real one or generated, some views make it look a little distorted.

The badge on the front is similar to a Porsche but its not one of those either. I suspect it is computer generated too. How do you think the Gull wings would go on a GT40? How To Drive The Rexona V8 Car*by*Howmotion

Pete I reckon Gull wing doors would actually be pretty cool. Also does Shooter Mugavin no longer work for you?
Regards
Jack

Pete, I noticed this advert also, as it appears to be generated on a GT40 base. I've seen angled door hinges (top at the roof, and upper point of the lower door, if you know what I mean) on a replica, so that the doors opened forwards and upwards. This was not good. Gull wing doors would be better for access. At least you can open a gullwing when someone has parked close alongside you, and also have gas springs to hold them open. However, you may lose the use of the door pockets, and a big conduit of wiring has to go up the A pillar and across the roof to the door pivot and down for the mirrors, speakers, and central locking.

Jack | Jack, Shooter has moved out of F1 and is now in Formula Ford. We still communicate though, if you want to get in touch send me an email.
