yea boiii! haha. "The Man" would be proud!:)

dont be fooled now, it says electric hybrid, but its got a slightly smaller version of the AC motor Tesla uses, so it can do 0-60 in 4-5 seconds, that will get you through traffic!

pretty nice final, even tho im not a big fan of 3d modeling...good work

Bentley Boy user medal 426 days ago
Overall, nice presentation and concept, but it still looks like a Cadillac edged VW hatchback.

braunarsch user medal user medal 425 days ago
its quite hot! n by its looks, quite a practical build as well! looks like a perfect car to go into NFS underground for some badass modding and tuning!

Thanks guys for all your comments, I'll put up a package design later (before the comp ends) but till then here are some dimensions

braunarsch user medal user medal 425 days ago

Deja Vu

shoemaker10 user medal user medal 425 days ago
Deja Vu? referring to what?

NemoDesigns user medal user medal 425 days ago
i just actually looked at the name, what was the inspiration there?

shoemaker10 user medal user medal 425 days ago
Inspiration is The Zakim Bunkerhill Bridge, basically cause its a very contemporary bridge, and the lighting at night is the really cool glowing blue effect, but since its a contemporary bridge its clean lined

shoemaker10 user medal user medal 425 days ago
The Zakim Bridge was inspiration for the lighting and styling, the NAME (Reconnoitre) came from the size and class of the car, Reconnoitre means Scout in Latin, so, a small, fast, nimble yet useful design is needed, so a smaller fast hatch with a super car electric motor in it seemed like a good fit.

No one else has any comments? huh

NemoDesigns user medal user medal 424 days ago
you can always count on me. the beltline rising over the rear wheel arch is my favorite line. nice touch with notching the DLO as it wouldv'e been boring and old fashioned if you left it simple straight line. also gives the car a strength, a masculinity by doing so as well. it has a very rally car feel to it, but like a tarmac edition. street tuner style, but not gaudy and over indulged. still stick by my checkup....hehe

redishman user medal user medal 424 days ago
Deja Vu means you have the impression you have seen this already...For example I have seen that hatch back....the front ...and the side view reminds me about so many cars that I cannot give you an example...Don't take this as an attack or something...is just my opinion. The only interesting point is that neon graphic at the front, and maybe the long light on the back.

shoemaker10 user medal user medal 423 days ago
ok man, thanks. I'll try to be more... imaginative next time lol

redishman user medal user medal 423 days ago
Don't worry I did the same mistake with my Kompass....

Strong Strong presentation. As I said in checkup, this front is too sterile and needs a little more life. I am not convinced that you have achieved this yet. Renders are sweet, and stance is good. Probably the best dispay of dimensions that I have seen. The stars on the wheels are such a nice touch. I hope that more people pick them out. Strong entry.

Ari user medal user medal 420 days ago
Clean surfaces, good work! The back is extended window is imo the strongest feature. The back light seems to set off this feature too - well done!

Ari user medal user medal 420 days ago
The back is a bit c20-ish, but more angular. it works.
