Thank you Malcolm. 👍 I'm not overly keen on the whole design (that includes my own interpretation of it), but i'm sure they'll be many changes to follow.
TBH, we need to bare in mind that the whole car really needs to be smaller, i don't feel as though my sketch/render looks Kei car enough, (proportions wise). So i would maybe suggest heightening the roofline as well as shortening both front and rear overhangs.. At the moment, going by my sketch, it looks too much 2nd gen Toyota MR2 size, which is (if we're staying true to the brief) way too big to be a Kei car.
Hard to tell if it's the wheel arches that are too small or everything else that is too big
But yes, they're not proportional right now.

I believe those "eyebrow wing thing" would be called an arch.And also, since it looks awesome,
could you add led lights along the front edge of them?
It would look awesome.
[EDIT]
Also guys, i don't know if anyone else noticed or wrote already, but in the
Gran Turismo 6 forum section, under the subforums, our thread is very popular.
We got a little flame aside, yay!

+1 on the roof scoop. I don't like how the roof v shape on the windshield tooThat's so much nicer and more realistic than any VGT that's been released so far
The only part I'd say I don't like is the shape of the roof intake

Because they're not needed.
We're doing one design, we can pretty much forget the other ideas, as great as they are, because we've locked down the final design and now just need to develop it.

And that's why we're going to model only the needed one and/or if somebody ask to be modelled as I stated in that post

Maybe try making the roof intake to play off the front grill...low and wide.That's so much nicer and more realistic than any VGT that's been released so far

In that case I retract my earlier point and ask a question.
Either this is poorly worded or this thread has become as far away from a design process as can be possible.
Why does a whole design project have to be halted because somebody wants their design modelled, if it isn't the final design? And just to save you looking for the sentences which give the poorly worded impression I'm getting...

I didn't say it was halted. Modelling somebody's sketch will not hurt the entire process, look @eran0004 how many models that he produced based on the sketches here. If we're going to take at least one design cues from the sketches here it will be easier to have something that we can turn, flip, or spin to see what part that might be useful for the final concept, we can simulate the aerodynamics, test the car against impact, who knows we might find something useful for the real world, it's for trial and error not to satisfy our eyes, I wouldn't say it isn't useful. Sorry if my words a bit sharp but I don't want this project ruin just because of an argument

So it was basically poor wording?
As for the project ruined because of arguing... that's pretty normal when creating something in a huge multinational group.

I did which is why I didn't post a huge rant about how stupid that idea would be.

Sure, I can make a copy without it, probably tomorrow. The scoop is going to get a lot thinner without it, because the dent in the roof would be gone.
Here's the side view right now. The rear end is quite a mess at the moment so don't pay any attention to that
Also, I need some sketches of the rear end of the car, so I have a reference to go by.

I think if we were to compare the VGT to a real life car in terms of size, it probably should be somewhere as big as a Lotus Elise, or if smaller, a Tommy Kaira ZZ-S.
That would qualify as kei car size, right?

Tommy Kaira ZZ-S:
Length 3630mm / 142.9in
Width 1740mm / 68.5in
Height 1100mm / 43.3in
Autozam AZ-1:
Length 3295 mm / 129.7 in
Width 1395 mm / 54.9 in
Height 1150 mm / 45.3 in
I would say that it is almost close enough, as long as everyone agrees on it... I used the AZ-1 because I didn't figure a boxy kei car would be good for comparison.

Using the AZ-1 as reference, I came up with this driving system diagram.

Just out curiousity is the design correctly proportioned? I mean an 8 speed transmission or transaxle and a battery isn't all that compact. So how would we keep it small? Horizontal engine layout maybe?

The battery itself is in a horizontal layout.
I found the gearbox to be the toughest part (8-Speed SMT on a Kei Car...) The only way you could possibly place something like that longitudinally inside the car is to use a CVT, which I know people don't want. Attempting to pass this by, I split the two electric motors into two to allow the gearbox to go through and connect to engine (still short, but let's see what others think.).
Also, I'm not sure if it would make a difference for the V4 engine to be horizontal, seeing how the engine block itself is rather, uh, square (as how I see it...)
