more commentsthe front is so cool!
I was optimistic when I saw the front. But the side rendering falls very short for me. All of the personality of the R4 greenhouse is lost.
Robert, the idea with some of this comments is not to insult anyone but as I said before out 3000 entries you would think that the best 50 would have considered something so fundamental as wheel size. If you take a few minutes to research it, tire size affects fuel efficiency and determines the weight and size of other components such as the suspension. Even if only 3 have been revealed the level of design is low. Look comparisons are unavoidable and when you look at what Renault did with the frendzy there’s a lot to be desired out of these entries. To expect better resolved designs out of finalists in an international competition is not pathetic, I bet any of these would be shred to pieces if any designer presents them at a review in any automotive studio in the world
Why are trolls so facinated with tires?
What’s with these haters crying about each shortlisted entry! There can be 47 designs better than the three already published. Complaining seems sad because either you entered your design and it’s not shortlisted or you never entered and think you could have done better and that is even more pathetic. STFU!
I hope Designboom does NOT delete this comment! I feel that so far the entries shortlisted have been picked mostly based on their 3D modelling rather than on the overall attention to automotive details. For an international competition with over 3000 participants I have a hard time believing these are the very best projects of the bunch. The Colombo design competition is a good example, where entrants considered basic restrictions of producing a handle such as the internal mechanisms. Automotive design is no different, one must consider the structural integrity, componentry and safety implications of a design even if it is a concept as these will continue to be part of the criteria for the industry. This entry showcases more thought than the previous 2 ones but I feel that its concentration was more on modelling. I would like to know how having a modular unit for the engine & transmission would affect the aesthetics, besides, if you look at the size of electric car batteries these are far bigger than a gas tank, how such transition affect the packaging of the car?
Have all the people that were shortlisted been notified?
Or are they finding out like the rest of us?
was the challenge theme to design the next tank for the war to mars??
can you speak about efficiency with that tires??
terrible project.
