Nebrius SC '14 // 500G Challenge

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

Here is the final project for the supercar challenge 2014 by 500G.

I tried to build the model closest to the chassis provide and respecting all the part lines defined. Only the front nose is off the bumper but it was to have a nice balance with the wheel base and the big cockpit.

My goal was to build surfaces as clean as possible, smooth, muscled, carved by the air and in a way timeless, avoiding trend style features. Nebrius is the latin name of a family of shark which are really low profile, with big mouth, and single curve designed ;).
Some details like the graphical design of the B-pillar is a wink to the shark fin, as well as the top ducts which are inspired by the gills even in their number (sharks have between 5 to 7) and function (bring oxygen).

In general, the lines and surfaces are clean to help the air travel from the front to end, nicely, softly but quickly. Sometimes creating trough which can create additionnal downforce on the rear wheel to make the car stuck on the road.

The only modern lines are implemented in the front headlight, which are thin and sharp, like lamborghini's ones.

The race track version is included as a pack to complete the street look. The extra-parts are here to give more a nervous look.

Details of the design process will be on some renders :)
