AndyCW Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Looks amazing. The front overhang looks a little terrifying. It reminds me of the Top Gear episode where they struggled to get the Pagani Zonda out of the parking garage. Maybe you could make a street version with slightly less aero. v/r Andy Quote
darsedz Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 it's not a simple supercar...it's simply "beautiful supercar"... great job, I love no-PF design and all those moving parts - hoods, doors... like your Audi DTM ... :) Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 This really is an awesome build!!! Love the design, its functions and not to forget its colors, just amazing!!! :thumbup: Quote
Lakop Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I think we can overlook the colour scheme as the car is great with good fucntions. The rear end is awsome. The colour can always be re-worked later I think. H Quote
zweihander Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I don't understand the fuss about the color scheme. I think it looks great regardless of the colors and I think the colors make it look much better. Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I am complete in Lipko. What a stunning and sexy creation :thumbup: Quote
agrof Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Great MOC, clean lines! I am curious about the functions, I see some interesting details in the pics. Love the engine hood springs. Quote
kolbjha Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 One of the best super car I've seen! I really love the body work, and all the functions, and the way they are implemented! The color scheme... I actually like it more the more I look at it, it gives life to the exterior! Quote
Anio Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Very interesting and clever design. With a lot of flow. Maybe a bit too part consuming here and there, but it is still a very, very nice model. You worked every single detail for it not to be necessarily like a real car, but to look good on a Lego car. This is what matter when building a Lego model. You are close to what Nathanaël Kuipers, the master of Lego supercars, could achieve. Brunojj1 is right when he explain the word simple. I think the model is simple. But it does not mean that it was simple to do. And I think it could be even a bit more simple with an even deeper integration of some elements here and there (like NK does on his designs). But that would take a lot of effort. Bravo. edit : damn, you don't have any FLickR gallery :o edit : instead of white 180° Technic angle connector, you can use the new driving ring axle joiner for a cleaner look. Quote
Lipko Posted December 30, 2015 Author Posted December 30, 2015 Thank you for the comments! The build seems to be quite dense, but actually it's the most efficiently built model I've made so far, so it is an easy build. I still have to optimize a few bits for building (pins with bushes instead of pins, redundant pins and connections, etc). A WIP shot of the chassis (the steering wheel console and the front are changed since then) Quote
Kumbbl Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 i'm quite sure that i would prefer the seats and the blue color of the interior (instead of red) of the WIP chassis.... but probably just a matter of personal taste... Quote

Yes, blue would also look good and a bit less "provoking". But the blue Bionicle tooth parts are quite old now, I wanted to use more current parts. The interior is almost 100% buildable in blue.

Kumbbl Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 thank you for this information - the car looks great, regardless if the interior is red or blue ;-) Quote
Chade Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 The blue seats look great! I think the red and orange might be clashing a bit. Regardless, it's an absolutely stunning build. Hope you make instructions for it . Quote
Lipko Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) The model is up on Rebrickable: http://rebrickable.c...simple-supercar I'm very surprised that it contains so many parts, I don't know what portion consumes so many parts... Probably the bonnet and the interior. Anyways, the main parts are grouped, the model should be quite easy to build, it uses current and I think common parts. Maybe the only exception is the wheel hub for the front suspension . EDIT: there seems to be some errors with the parts list on Rebrickable. It says 2390 parts while in LDD there is only 2329 parts (not counting the hubs). EDIT 2: fixed most errors. Some part quantities was calculated wrong somehow. Edited January 3, 2016 by Lipko Quote

IMO the many parts are not a minus on the quality of the car. Why should we be minimalistic in design when we can use the parts in a smart and interesting way to achieve rigidity, density and a good look. Another thing if the TLC guys have to follow such strict rules in order to save money for bigger profit for the company. I like the old hubs because I can´t see any advantage in the new ones. I couldn´t resist to play a bit with the colour scheme : Quote
agrof Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Hi Máté! Big thank You for the LDD file! I wanted to build this soon, but given the huge part number, I am afraid it will take a while till I gather all the parts. I also played a bit with the colours, and - forgive me - I made a minor change on the front hood (3x11 panel instead of very small panels), so it looks more homogen. Red is sexy too! SuperB model, deserves Blackbird's shelf! :thumbup: Quote
Lipko Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 Looks good with the bigger panels! My only reason for not using them is that the wheels will push them if the suspension is compressed or steered. For this reason I struggled with the front hood for very long, every other solution either looked off or collided with the suspension. Quote
agrof Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Good point, I didn't think about this. For some reason in CAD works everything smoother than in reality (based on job experience too). Quote
Dave21 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Wow, very good supercar! I downloaded the ldd file and decided to make a render: (Click for larger picture) Dave Edited January 3, 2016 by Dave21 Quote
filuS Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) This car looks very good, in general I am not fan of cabrios, but this one caught my eye immediately. Too bad it would be impossible to build it in blue, I am longing for a blue (or at least blue/black) supercar but the lack of blue panels is against me it seems (well, maybe combining different shades of panels could be a way, I am just not sure how that would turn out).

2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Great car and love the colors with the Orange the most...!!! Quote
