Messerschmidt KR200 KaRoJet

The Messerschmidt Kabinenroller (or bubble car) is well known amongst small car enthusiasts. Cute as it is – I wouldn’t want to drive one of those on public roads. As the shape of the vehicle reminded me of more aquatic vehicles (and animals), I decided to take it down that direction. So, with just a few pixels moved around, we now have a nice little runabout I call KaRoJet. This could be fun and definitely has way more style than any other jet ski. The KaRoJet is based on a KR200 Kabinenroller and a regular jet ski. Now… somebody just needs to cough up some cash to build a real one! Now… would Willy Messerschmidt approve this or scream sacrilege?

Citroen Ami 6 | C’est incroyable!

Et vous croyez vraiment que ça marche? C‘est incroyable!

Citroën Ami. C’est magique!

Citroën is a company that has always been famous for building genius but sometimes rather weird vehicles. Well, how about a Citroën Ami 6 that doesn’t need rear wheels at all? The French engineers might have come up with something like that in the sixties. And no, I really don’t have an idea what they might have been smoking. 😉

Porsche 911 GT3 RS | Racecar Livery Design

Livery Designs / Motorsports / Porsche Posted by Sebastian Motsch / 0 comments

Igor Sushko, founder of AutomotiveForums.com, asked the AF members to come up with livery ideas for a racing project in Japan. He wanted a livery based on a black car, to stand out from all the white car based liveries of most 911s. Well, here is what I came up with so far:

I used the Porsche logo as a base for my livery design. The idea is that the car is wrapped in it’s heritage, symbolized with the traditional crest. Didn’t like the colored version, so I tried out the same in grey-scale. Came out a bit dull, IMO. To add more contrast to the car, I decided on a black, white and red scheme. What do you think?

The white car (V04) is a more LeMans oriented livery. It features newspaper clippings from the good ol’ days of racing at the Circuit de la Sarthe.

Renault Kangoo Sport

Photoshop Chops / Renault Posted by Sebastian Motsch / 0 comments

A TV commercial starring a rhino and a Renault Kangoo told you that this vehicle wins hearts, not beauty contests. It certainly never won a beauty contest and most definitely not my heart. This vehicle does exist, but I was just never interested in the concept. But nevertheless… even one of the ugliest vehicles may be turned into something a bit more desirable. Well, provided you have enough money and are willing to throw it at such a project. It could be fun, couldn’t it? Imagine opening the side doors and finding a twin-turbo mounted midships. Massive wheels and brakes, a proper suspension setup and low center of gravity. Obviously, the body has received a few minor tweaks as well.

SAAB Sonett Mk2 Club Racer

Outlaw / Photoshop Chops / SAAB Posted by Sebastian Motsch / 6 comments

The SAAB Sonett was a nifty little sportscar. Originally fitted with a 1500cc Ford Taunus V4 engine it had enough power to be a fun runabout. Still… not enough to have serious fun with the little bugger. I wondered what a club racing version of the Mk2 Sonett could have looked like. Lowered, of course, with wider wheels and meatier tires and a few aerodynamic tweaks. Because there isn’t much space in the engine compartment, a V6 engine wasn’t an option. Hence I opted for a turbocharger. Now, which version would you prefer? Stock or Club Racer?
