MOC: Grand Tourer

[wooootles]

Woot again, my 3rd official MOC: Grand Tourer!

EDIT DOWN BELOW: ITS MEANER SIDE! Grand Tourer RS

ANOTHER EDIT: NEW REVISION, AND IT'S BLACK

Yes, it's big. I wanted the long hood to give it that "it has a big V-8" feel.

Its also my first attempt at garnering a million jumper pieces and make the body 5-wide (though the chassis is 6-wide).

Comments? Suggestions?

Thanks.

NEW REVISION, minor changes!

That turned out really nice wooootles. I like that you made it 5-wide, the proportions are pretty good this way.

[jonwil]

Nice MOC, you have given me some ideas on how I can build some sports cars in 6-wide for the next train layout we are doing.

[wooootles]

Thanks for the comments!

Yeah, I like the proportions too, and the 5-wide body in a 6-wide chassis doesn't make it that large compared to 6-wide body trucks (with 7-wide wheels), and I'd like to build some more cars like this.

Best side view here:

I tried to make it more like a Corvette/Aston Martin/Ferrari 599GTB of sorts.

Also, I'll try some variants regarding this car.

[wooootles]

I already upgraded it.

Like some supercars and grand tourers, they almost always seem to have a more outrageous, more race track-oriented sibling.

So I made one for my GT car!

Tested and approved by The Stig.

took me quite a bit of research to find a set of black wheels but even since I found them I saved them for something like this. Bigger vents, stripes... yeah.

So, which do you guys prefer, standard version, or the sporty track version?

I like the stripe, but not the bigger vents on the hood. They take away from the streamlined effect. Other than that, awesome car

[Willdog]

Very sleek. I love small but complex MOCs. If only Lego would release some cool small vehicle like this. Thanks for the inspiration.

[Lord Arjay]

Thats good wooootles. I think that the first one look sleek and streamlined. Definetly like something I'd see zooming around the streets. Very realistic. Whereas the second one is definitely more like a track car. IMHO the vents fit that car quite well.

[wooootles]

Thanks again for the comments!

I think I can bring the bigger vent on the track car down a plate, though Im not sure if I want to do that right away. Building another one as of right now.

You may as well finish streamlining it, for a track version I mean. Remove the mirrors and the vents to give it nice clean lines, and try to bring the cleese slopes on the doors in line with the frame.

[ACCURATEin]

That's an excellent design. Nice work.

[wooootles]

more feedback, thanks guys!

Well, it's not a 'race car' version, per se. Still a road-legal car that has serious track capability, like... Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Dodge Viper ACR, things like that.... so the mirror stays I kinda shifted my main focus on bigger projects but yeah, still thinking of a clean way to remove some kinks when I can, heheh

[Noworries]

Looks like a fusion between a Morgan Roadster and a Bugatti EB110. I really like it!

[FinalFeature]

I like the white stripe version better wooootles.

Can a minifigure sit in it?

[wooootles]

I like the white stripe version better wooootles.

Can a minifigure sit in it?

Absolutely! You can see the Stig minifigure sitting upright inside the car in the first pic (on the track version), and there is also a lady minifig in the original car sitting upright.

Thanks for more feedback.

Stripe

Nice car, it looks perfectly scaled for the right "look" and it fits into a town without looking strange. Very sporty.

[DJ Force]

I like both the same. Excellent design. It definetly captures that C3 ´Vette feeling!

If only TLG would make a windshield like that in 6wide...

[wooootles]

Glad you like it guys You'll definitely see both of these babies driving around in my future town along with other LEGO CITY vehicles.

[Big Cam]

Very nice, it reminds me of a Ferrari California, and I like that the Stig is testing it.

That's the perfect ride for The Stig.

Well done

[gormadoc]

This car is magnificent!

I just love the design.

Are you planning to build anymore cars in the future?

[wooootles]

More feedback!!! Thanks guys. The Stig preferred it too, being a 'driver's car' and all

Are you planning to build anymore cars in the future?

Yeah. As for sports cars I only have 2 so far (track version, and I converted the original Grand Tourer in black, but can't find camera batteries atm), but I'll keep building more, as long as I get more bricks. I'm trying to design another (completely different) car but so far it's still tough for me to work with this 5-wide body/6-wide chassis setup, so yeah.

[bricked one]

This car is awesome, I may try to build a 6 wide version so I can put it with my other 6 wides.
