very nice mihai.Good to see you here after that stunning crazy 4 wheeled-MIG!!. Congs for the car: it matches the competition requirements. I miss a more important role of your sketches in your presentation: they look so interesting!

the name says it all. really cool concept.

Thanks guys!!! I wanted to have less sketches for this entry since I am usually drawing more than modelling.I also tryed to include different images other than the previous checkups for the contest. I hope more people will give me feedbacks. All the best!!

I cannot be more excited for this. Easy to build. Boston to the core. LM to the core. 5 Bagger and I want one. Mihai, this is exceptional.

More to follow about the details as I pour over them. This is a delight to take in.

I definitely want one...:)

Excellent presentation and write up, your work definitely speaks for itself. It paid off including a few interior views, and they fall right in line with the design language of the body, very cohesive and fresh.

Thank you very much J!!! It means a lot to me!! Cristi..thanks fr your helpful comments during my Checkups! I hope I fixed some of the isshues. Ring me on Yahoo ehenever you got time. Cheers.

Thx hnut!!!

crap competitions over lol. j/k i still have to post. this is more awesome the more i dig into it. the interior is stellar. i like your storage ideas. i want it in black with soft chrome touches as it has a strong hot rod feel, and i like black open wheeled cars. j is right 5 bagger.

Once again. Its nice, very nice. The more I see it... You are playing in another league. Congs n stay tuned!

It's a ride of my dream

Yeah.... what they said. Can't say I didn't see this coming. Absolutely stellar. Way to be. five cheers.

i like your design, that's great

Very cool, love the Hot Rod inspiration! Great detailing and ideas, the interior is great, very fluid, plus the little details are great. Cool stuff!

This would definitely fit the criteria I spoke about in the "What do you want to drive, Boston" link on the LM homepage....I can see myself blasting down Storrow Drive in the Spring and Summer, weaving around everyone out for a Sunday drive, due to its performance characteristics (and looks) as well as the transparent roof. Driving it in the snow would definitely not be an option though. I also like the idea of using vinyl.

Agree with everyones comments. Fits very well with the competition. I was sold on just how cool this was when I found the essence sketch up on the far right wall! Nice touch.

salut! interesant design, ce zici de al meu ? (era initial pentru altceva ;), ce zici, merge aici ?) m-am uitat prin desenele tale si migu' de la alta intrare e foarte tare! pacat ca o fi si pe aici cardasie, se voteaza astia pe preferinte, nu pe valoare, de multe ori. bafta!

It's the bomb - one of the top 3 entries!

we may have a WINNER!!!! love it, and love it from the first checkup!!!

Thx again! Iam glad that you also like the checkups. Hey crawler, I will check your entry also. It would be good if you could speak english:). Cheers mates!!!

This is powerful....This one breathes power...I dont know why but this is for Boston, maybe not so low body could be even better

one of the best .... absolutely beautiful n stunning car....keep it up...

nice visuals! i really like the gunmetal finish.

That looks very nice! My preferred is your interior sketch... ;-) Good job!

Hey, Mihai! Hot stuff here! It seems to me that you have much more spare time than me! ;) Great entry! By the way is it the logo of our CRF "whatever_was_it's_name" on the tires? ;)

Hey you guys!! thanks alot! Yeah I was alittle scared about that gunmetal cause I didnt want tha car to look to...evil.. but I guess its ok. Hey Aydar, yeah I bet I have more time than you do, and I am not Russhian which is always a good thing, haha, joking! Whell it is only now that I see a resemblace between the tirethread and the CRF concept logo: http://panaitescu.carbonmade.com/projects/2125326#52 Thx Ben J. Good luck with your entry I thing the modeling work is stunning! Cheers!

what do I think??? superrrrr,mihai your project is great I like it ,is perfect !!! multa bafta !!!

Tnx alot Mihai!! Nothing to reproach...Good work!!

this is DA SHIZZNIT!! 5 stars frm me!

We have already a winner!

to pisani i had mentioned in his checkups a possible solution for winter in the way of removeable fenders that play off the language of the concept and still keep the utility of a drivable car for boston.

Thx you guys. Again I am very proud that I have alot of caompatriots in the community.Thank you braunarsch!!! Hey Nemo, I wanted to leave the car with open wheels, but just in case I added some optinal fenders on the foobal player's car. Some people suggested that during my checkups too. You have a very keen eye! Have a nice day fellas!!

i agree the car is amazing without fender but all too often you loose a bit of style sacrificed to function. maybe if you run a clear fender like that the sacrifice is minimal. also to add some tech add some l.e.d. lighting and fiber optics for an emotional touch to driving with the fenders on. snowy and wet winters suck trust me. i live in iowa and we have 5 inches of snow on the ground. i want to drive my vw beetle i just got finished working on but weather doesnt allow. don't let such a beautiful ride like the bullet be just a fair weather car.

I totally agree with you Nemo! Maybe I could post some more versions of tires and fenders to see how the car would look in winter time. I envy you for that Beetle, I hope l'll get a car soon. Thanks alot!!!

actually i somehow wish LM makes this their second car, after the rally fighter. i dunno, but this just oozes attitude!

Strong work once again ! Your design isn't conventional that's why it has impact, you succeed to dissociate you by exploring ways only you can imagine. You have a flair for drawing !

This is great work. Period.

Iconic, American. Looks like a rod, but modern. Exposed wheels aren't the most practical, but it would become a Boston mascot almost.

Great concept, looks simply fantastic, however i sincerely feel that visibility front rear, turning circle and pedestrian safety may be isses to be tackled in building the vehicle. I will be happy to know your views on this as it will improve my knowledge of design thinking

This concept is astonishing , great work ! It has an American look and a very good design detail . Felicitari Mihai ! :-)

Thank you againg people! I really was not expecting such posivive feedbacks on the car. Braunarsch I do not know if this car would be worthy for LM, but thanks! Hartmann I wish you were right..Thank you! Benzo your comments are most welcome, You are right offcourse about the exposed wheels, but I thought it is worh it to leave them like that. Hey Indianmick your comments are very true. Mybe in production some lines will need to be lowerd a little fornt and back for visibility, but during the construction(modelling) I had placed some crash dummyes inside, in Alias, and tryed to fitting them within the standards (european ones haha). For the tuning angle Maybe thinner front wheels would be better indeed but this is also a car for show so for now I left it like that. Pedestrian safety is usually about materials and height of the front, and here the sharp edge around the radiator will certainly be a thin deformable plastic. Thats about it! Thanks very much Gariel! How many romanians are there here??haha. Thank you again guys and have a nice weekend!!!

Wow, what a thread of comments! Yes, this is very strong. Do you have sketches you could share, despite staying away from them in your main plate? Or was this developed primarily in Alias?

Impressive work... I love it! Can see a football player owns this car...

Great work! I think you should always have your sketches, I would love to see them!

mihai for my opinion is very good concept that I choose in this competition very good and very good sketche

Hi MIhai ! Nice work here, especially for the work made in these two weeks !...Just a negative point for me, your vehicule will not pass security tests, since your wells are on the exterior of the bodywork (pedestrian security)...this could be important for a production vehicule ;)

hello people. thak you all again for the comments.Feedback is very important for me. I will try posting some sketches as soon as I get home. How come the prowler is street legal then? were the rules different back then?Frankly I really don't know this. I thought it was like in an Amercian court where you can invoke a past trial to win a current one.haha.

You'll have to cover your wheels. Pretty sure that you can keep them outside...but covered ;-)

In fact the prowler have two "mustache" in order to be legal...We can not see it on some tuning preparations, but in production, it is...

hello! I will post a winter mood sketch. Thnk you very much for all you comments and good luck!

That's lovely!

Thank you Ary!! Congratulations on the Web Innovators conference!!! Just saw the video! I saw my car too. haha. Thanks again! Cheers

Nicely done on the render and bumper guards, thats a good solution to the open wheels. Maybe you could integrate the turn signals into that top part of the fender somewhere.

wow it looks good with fenders!!!! not that that is any sort of surprise

even with fenders it still retains its beauty and form! i think this design deserves to win :D

Thanks alot! I actually have a drawing with the turn signal integrated. Great minds think alike ..joking. Also thank you Nemo and Braunarsch! best of luck!!!

The fenders and even bumper are awesome. Shows that safety constraints do not have to be a detriment to design. The winter mood is the best one yet. If I could give you another 5 I would. Show us the drawing with the turn signal integrated.

Agreed... nice way to integrate some feasibility consideratons. With some matte black pieces, you could probably even integrate more wheel coverage and still have the same overall feel to the design. Bravo.

The winter mood - it's hot!!

Congratulations for the win!!! I knew this will be the winner, it is a very good project no doubt. Thumbs UP ;)

lol... i knew u wud win :-P

Congratulation,your car was very exciting. Best regards

congrats mihai! this was a simplistic concept executed so well. 4.5 must be a record too! well deserved.

Congratulations man! Awesome work and very efficient execution! It's a pleasure to see your work...

Congratulations on your success

Congratulations ! You did an incredible work on this Bullet, so you really deserve this highest score (4.5 ! whow, hot!)

Congratulations!. Very exciting. I hope you keep on working so that we can learn from you. Felicidades!

congrats man, well deserved win!

good job, Mihai !

salutări :P

impresionant ...trebuie sa admit ca desi majoritatea au facut treaba buna.. ai meritat victoria

Congratulations Mihai! Outstanding project. Good luck!

Congrats on a job well done.

Congrats Mihai ! Hope LM decide to build this one for the BostonStreets. Now That would be a most interesting process. All the Best!

Wooow! all these comments. I just got back from a trip and now I had time to read them all properly! Guys first of all thank you all for your support shown here and all the nice comments. I was surprised to hear about the result since there were alot of strong projects in the comp. Congratulations to everyone!!! LR I can see you are improving on your romanian.haha. Keep it up and I might invite you here fr the second time. Sleepy, Braunarsch, Oplus, BenJ, Benzo, Bentley, Jarimuse, Huynh, Aurel, Ra, Hnut, Crawler, ely, frost, You2, Indianmick, and everyone else. Thank you all for your support and votes. Have a nice day and see you around guys!! Can't hardly wait to see your entries for Chicago. Keep it up people!!

Awesome entry, well deserved entry for quality of presentation and an overall design this cohesive (and in this amount of time, wow!). I love the cargo idea! I think it fits this concept well. It's rare to see the character of a vehicle be carried throughout the development (so far, into 3D)! It's very apparent with the Bullet. Also so far your sketch afterwards (Winter Mood) is great, and relieves me of the worries that filters of legality. I think you could pull this off to be fully legal and just as bad-ass. Congratulations!

*that filters of legality bring

good job brother..i am happy because a romanian won this competition,congratulations-!!!

great detailing in your design. i see great intuitive creativity, yet strength and confidence in this design work, a killer combination. a deserving winner - congratulations.

Cheers...You're the boss...I love your work!!

Yep nice job, but really, PLEASE stop doing open wheel cars. If you can get the same effect with a nice integrated body, then you don't show the obvious problems of wheel apperture, bump and lock as it smacks of student thinking. Take a look at a Caterham and you'll realise the amount of space for mechanicals and actual geometry. Precisely the reason why I didn't go for the obvious when I did the T. For this to translate into something real, and especially as LM might want to build it in the future, real world considerations have to be made. You're talented enough, so apply logic. And thinner tyre won't cut it as road holding will suffer greatly and proportionally the car will look strange ( a bit horse and cart). I know you can do better!

Hey David. Thanks alot! Yes you are very right in what you are saying. I did the car with open wheels to keep the not rod spirit alive. Some modifications will shourely have to be made when building the vehicle. I will try doing a coverd wheel version and maybe I will get other feedbacks then. Thanks again. Cheers mate!!! keep in touch!
