Ok...that was nothing. I have to look for another car. In the moment it doesn´t give any dimensions of the car and no reference points in the pictures to calculate the dimensions of the car by myself. The company doens´t help me, so i have to continue my search for the right car. Next try.

Yes, i think so too. The most important thing is the model by itself. That will have all my attention at first. Anything else will come later.

At first i have the most parts in black. Thats the color i will start with. But if i can finish my challenge i want to rebuild the car in white with black accents. And no, i dont use the blue nose :D maybe i switch to another color. The Battista will come with 150 limited pieces and every car should be a Single copy. So i'm free in my choice of color.

I have seen many beautiful cars in the last few days worth immortalizing in a loving Lego MOC. But with all the hypercars and supercars I've seen, there was only one vehicle that really made me feel WOW: The Pininfarina Battista A powerful and beautiful 1904 HP electric beast with a maximum speed over 400km/h. I decided to build this Car as my first MOC. Things i wish to insert in my MOC: - Butterfly Doors - Retractable rear wing - Suspension - HOG steering - Nearly perfect bodywork Maybe a height adjustable chassis for drive and show mode. I know the first showable part will take a little bit of time but i´ll soon start developing.

There were thoughts beyond the finished model.

Thank you for your words. I try to think about it whenever I run the risk of throwing up the towel. I am at the very beginning, but I already see the finished model in front of me, on my collection shelf. Nobody forces me to tackle this project, only the will to eventually have a result that I'm proud of. Thanks again for your encouraging words. It is not self-evident that "professionals" take the time to help newcomers. Thanks!!! Another thing i´m thinkin about is how you do it with instructions. You develop a car and maybe sometime it will be finished. How you get the instructions? Do you dissamble the car and start building again for instructions or do you build single parts of the model in softwares when you finished them?

I will start a Topic later. Just a little bit patience

Just a few minutes ago i've found that one car where i feel it. So excided

Just one more question... How long will it take you to decide on a new project? I've watched so much cars. But i must feel it if it's the right one.

Agree.

I'm testing. At first LDRAW AIOI If it's not good then SC3D, or an alternative. So much to learn if i'll be a lego supercar creator

I wish you all the best. I spend the last days to find the right car for me and i'm not finished at the moment By the way i have installed a software for simulating technic functions. I have not really started developing yet but i'm very hot for the project i've started with this topic.

Just beautiful! There's nothing else to say!

Thanks. Will start soon I think the most time will be taken for the drivetrain. Thats the most complicated part for me. At least I think so.

One question Is it helpful to start with a digital lego designer? Or do you all developing without software?

Thank you for your encouraging words. I will take your tips to heart and do everything step by step. The scaling, I'll probably anyway first make by hand, to get a feel for it. Also, the tip with an accompanying thread, I think very well. I'll do that as soon as the process starts. Now I have to learn the theoretical first and realize what it really should be. But when I start, I will post progress, ask questions and discuss issues in the thread.. It's nice to see that you guys take patience to help new devs or someone who will be a dev. I have the wish to build my own supercar so long in my mind. I think it's time to start this journey.

Jip. I think that will be the best way.

In fact, I want to recreate the body as perfectly as possible. I don't want to motorize the car, a manual version is enough for me. Because i like display models the most. Main features like steering, suspension, openable doors... That should be included too. But I'm not as magical as some others here. I will not be able to think of such a fantastic door mechanism like @DugaldIC or a height-adjustable suspension like @brunojj1 Therefore, I try to get the model first externally optimal.

Thx all for input. I want to use the porsche wheels and his color. At this moment i have the most panels in orange. Some more in black. I think, when i come to the body the first try will be colourful :D. After that i can finish in the color i have the most from. (omg sorry for my english. It's not the yellow from the egg... "german joke) What i dont understand, everytime i look at other mocs, is how i become the points where to fix the body on the chassis. Or would this grow with the hole project? Like try and error?

Hey guys, the most time i surfed on eurobricks or rebrickable i´m speechless, how someone build their supercars. I´m a big fan of cars in 1:8 scale. But some of my favorites cars won´t never be build. So i start thinking to develop one by myself. But how should i start? If i would have a realistic body, should i start with this? Or is the chassis the best choice? It´ll be nice if somebody can admit me. Thx

Hey, thats sounds interesting. Do you plan to build the red or white model?

Absolutly stunning. It's unbelievable how people can build such a cool door mechanism by herself. Can´t wait to see this moc on rebrickable with parts list and instructions. Great work!

@nahpets that looks really cool! Can you explain how to bring the tailgate openable?
