Chrysler 300 Pickup

Another competition to make something out of a 300C. I kind of liked the Jeep Gladiator / Studebaker pickup vibe it ended up having. I was originally aiming for something else entirely, but after I put a forward leaning angle on the grille all I could see was a truck so I went with it.

Jaguar XJ

Made for another photoshop competitionto guess at the new XJ's looks before it was unveiled.

I tried to ape the spy photos as much as I could. Unfortunetly the teaser image threw me (I'm quite sure I won't like this weird new roofline with the rear window morphing into the side windows but not at the same time).

So anyway I stuck with what I saw under the camo. Nothing extreme - hope it's not too boring. But from the spy photos I'm not sure the new XJ will be the looker the XF is.

Basically I grafted an XF nose onto a Quattroporte (specificially the Touring version made by some coachworks company I can't remember at the moment). I spliced together the Jag and Quattroporte rooflines, and also shortened the roof get more of a big Jag stance. I also lowered it to the ground - the Quattroporte had a bit of a 4x4 stance. Up front I reshaped the headlights, and made the grille much wider and more upright. I also enlarged the central air intake on the bottom of the front bumper. I brought it up so it matched the height of the two that flank it. I also added more of a booty onto the end of the car.

Dodge Challenger New/Old

Basically the point of this one was to overlay the new Challenger with the old and morph the somewhat bulky new one back to the proportions of the original. Looks so much sleeker this way. Also, at the time I don't believe green was an available colour.

Dodge Challenger Wagon

My ode to big wagons of the 70's, as I find this ended up having a bit of a Vista Cruiser look. A bit long though (especially in wheelbase), but I felt the proportions looked best like this and didn't want to extend the rear overhang any more than stock.

BMW 4 Series (aka 5 Series Gran Turismo)

Another competition entry. Styled my image in the form of a mock advertisement for a new "four door coupe" to rival the CLS called the 4 Series. The original photo was of a 5 Series Gran Turismo, which I personally loathe.

Ford Taurus SHO Coupe

SHOupe? Slightly revised front end with black out trim. Windshield angle raked back some as well. In Grabber Blue with gunmetal Mustang rims. Might add a stripe package afterward...

Ferrari Solstice Coupe

Another one for a competition. This one was to manipulate a pic of a Pontiac Solstice GTP Coupe, and mine actually won. I thought that there were a few Ferrari-ish details to the car, so I edited it some 599 Fiorano details.

PS: This is mine - my pseudonym on the site where this was posted is Speedstick.

BMW 5-Series Dakar Racer

Bit of an old one, I believe for some sort of online competition for bragging rights. I think to make a Dakar Rally car.

2011 Hyundai Elantra 3-Door Hatch

I did the coupe first, and then had a request for a hatch. Most of what I did for the coupe applies, but I found it tougher to meld a hatch roofline with the swoopy Elantra. The rest is kind of Citroen C4 meets CR-Z meets Veloster.

No rear view yet, but it would have a CRX style panel back their to aid visibility.

2011 Hyundai Elantra Coupe

Playing around in Photoshop upon hearing word that Hyundai plans to release a coupe version of the new Elantra. Pretty much a simple coupification - edited the roofline and photoshopped out the rear door while making the front door larger.

Up front I stuck some LED style headlamps in from the recently release i40, and removed the grille detail to open things up and make it look a like more aggresive. I also enlarged the holes for the fog lights to add some extra inlets to make it look sportier.

Lastly I added some Genesis Coupe rims and lowered it a bit.
