Welcome aboard ! , we'd love to hear your ideas and contribution
Basically the specs posted in the OP are what we are going for, right? Is it design what's left to do?
Welcome aboard ! , we'd love to hear your ideas and contribution
I've also got another idea for recharging batteries, however it would be better suited to a larger, full electric car, plus I don't know if it would actually work. I'll see if I get any other ideas though!
Yup. There is, all those Kei concepts are developments of the design.I remember people saying that a community design need a community to design and not just 10 people, now though by the looks of things there's at least 120 people taking part
but is there a design so far? cause there seems to be a mixture of kei car, hatchback and lemans prototypes....
I have a feeling we'll finish this by JuneHello, There is a formal process recently published in the OP that I created and worked with the creator of this thread, @LosCules24SFA, and a few others to refine. Please read the following Spoilers found there and @LosCules24SFA or I will answer any questions that you or the rest of the Team VGT Car Design Community may have. There are Qty (22) more Voting Polls that are proposed to occur over the life of this project. The intent is that that will hopefully make this a truly Community based Car Design.......👍
In this 15 years of Gran Turismo a lot of great things happened and Polyphony Digital celebrated it's game anniversary with a rather special event called Vision Gran Turismo for us the fans to enjoy. I proudly announced and invited all of you in this global community of GTPlanet to join this project in line with the world's most renown companies to create a Vision Concept Car. The more support we get for this project plus a great relationship with the game creator itself the more chance we'll get to see our car in game!
Our main goal is to see our car in the sim-racing game environment of Gran Turismo. Let's show the world what we can do,show our design, our vision of the future. let peoples know we're here, ready to embrace the future of Automobile and Technology for a better world and if we succeed this project i can assure you all that a bigger thing awaits ahead of us. There will come the time when we sit down looking at the screen and say : This is a masterpiece from the fans to the fans, and i'm part of it.The following Project Roles have been identified as being needed and crucial to the success of the Project. Each Role lists Member Volunteers who have expressed interest in, or have received a nomination from another GTPlanet Member to fill a Position. Send a Private Message to @LosCules24SFA with your interest to fill any Position or if you wish to nominate a GTPlanet Member to a position. Runoff elections will be announced if multiple Members wish to be considered for any single Position. DEADLINE for your APPLYING TO FILL A POSITION or NOMINATION of another GTPlanet Member is Sunday, January 16th 06:00 GMT. Design and CAD Contributor Positions DO NOT Require Nominations, Elections or Deadlines.

Project End
I have a feeling we'll finish this by June
I like it a lot. The real question is, will this be a street car, or a race car. The original design had that style of wing on, but I dropped it due to having to redo it as a city/ kei car.So sad to see that Nessy can no longer contribute. His contributions have inspired me greatly, and I'm sure others feel the same. No matter what comes of this project, he will be remembered and his contributions honored.
Below is a sketch based on eran004's side profile layout.
This is based on a sketch I did on pg 47, which was based on a sketch 787bcgr did on pg 46. I have also incorporated Nessy's front 3/4-view render and recent suggestions from this tread, regarding the LMP style stabilizer/wing setup.
Still waiting on input from 787bcgr.

I'm in. I'm not too good at drawing but I can contribute ideas.
I thought we were in Phase 4 lol

@kapnk006 Nessy can no longer contribute due to an illness that has occurred in their family.
Just saying.
