DESIGN of a New GT40 successor

[WesS]

fran,
that's why i ordered the extra rear deck lid and extra doors. i plan to do just that: make a targa top, but make it a hard targa top. hopefully, removeable in pieces, storage is going to be a challenge though. one of the "uses" of my cnc router.

Pap,
Are going to have a custom made front windscreen, or are you going for an off the shelf unit?

Still a very beautiful car, but its starting to look more like a Lola T70 now, especially if you were to raise the side scoops. Very attractive lines though.

While looking at the rendering, as you say, I just noticed the influence....., but very few barchettas look as good as the lola.

last rendering for the day...

Nice look, but it doesn't envoke any thoughts of a GT40, in me, as I would expect from an update.

I understand where you are coming from, but my idea was to create a few alternatively styled bodies inspired by the GT40, that would fit an exhisting gt40 chassis.

Pretty much a rebody af a gt40 replica chassis, with a more modern retro design twist.

Take them as fun sketches.....

working on something different.....

a 5min. very rough sketch of a coupe, with a fiberglass/polycarbonate door.

Half a door would be fiberglass, the rest plolycarbonate glass.....maybe a little extreme, but very simple to manufacture if wanted......

My last very rough doodle, for this thread....

fuoriserie,

What ... no under car sketches?

Beautiful pictures. The last pictures do remind me more of a Lola T70 than GT, but still all good!

Ok, I will repost on the Lola T70 forum then....., but i understand your point.

A GT40 is a coupe, and will always be seen as such, so a barchetta is not a GT40, but a Lola or any other car of that period.

I liked the idea, but not many others did....., will stick to coupe...
