E9/m5 love child: Final renders
- Thread starter 02m2
- Start date
She looks best from the rear, which given her engine is the view most people will see...
To each his own of course but personally I think it is awesome. If it was me, I would reduce the fender flaring by 50% because you do loose some of the elegance of the shape but I realize you had some wheel n tires size considerations to deal with.
I'd love to see a "street" version of this with minimal (if any) flares bc everything else is really sweet.
Great work!

not Blasphemous
Nicely done.
Looking forward to seeing the completed product

I think the plate should be "HAMRHED". With the wide front end it's no ordinary shark. It's a hammerhead shark!
I think it looks cool. In my opinion there is little one can do to make the E9 look better. I certainly like the original look better, but I think the craftsmanship on this will make the car's presence much more stunning in person than the renders can convey. Also, if you get the exhaust note right everything else is irrelevant.
It would be cool to see the renders in some other colors. I like Turkis but I think this could look really great in some other colors.

all in all, i think it looks quite good too. agree with Arde, looks best from the tail -all business
minor comments, the rear flare should be more of a gradual taper from behind the door. it looks a bit too abrupt of an angle ... more of a bow than a flat with eased ends.
the straight on front makes the front left grille look like it is recessed behind the fender (like the fender protrudes forward)

I dig the grilles
Yep, wash it, that is about it.
the grille on top of the hood has a mercedes vibe about it ... that's not a negative comment as it looks great

The second shot, head on, has a very rectangular look below the beltline. I don't think of that look as belonging to a CS.
Putting similarly angled shots of a "regular" coupe next to these would help us see what the mods are.

Thanks for all the comments. We will start stripping the body for media blast in Nov. Then we will start the work on the chassis design. My goal would be to make the flares only as wide as necessary to fit the track we need to get some decent rubber on it. I too like the back the best and I tried to bring the M5 into the design. I worked real hard on the front to still resemble the E9 but didn't want to go with the standard CSL front spoiler.
As far a color it is not set in stone but I like using period correct and more unusual colors on the car. Let's face it an E9 looks great in any color but I think the lighter colors show the lines off better.
When we start on this I will start a thread.
Thanks for all you help !!

No pressure, but will it be done for the LOTA activities next August?

I guess I should go away more often if I'm gone for a couple of months and something this bad$%s pops up! Of course it's obvious that I would be a fan.
Second the comment on the rear view. The four pipes look great.

Any update on this?
