BMW Z1


A small coupe - type thingy based off the new 1 Series. Kinda RWD Alfa Romeo Brera meets 1 M.

Reworked front end, longer bonnet, IS-F side scoops, coupe DLO and widened rear track with revised side detailing. Oh - and matte black rims. And it was lowered slightly.

Since it's based off the 1 Series I thought I'd name it after the legendary Z1, although it isn't a convertible.

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe


My guess as to the potential look of the upcoming Santa Fe. Used the Tucson as a base - possibly didn't change it enough, but I stretched the body to match the proportions of the current Santa Fe. So basically the body is a bit taller (especially the greenhouse), and the greenhouse is a bit more upright. The hood is slightly longer, and the truck is a bit wider. Gave it new lighting (from the Accent), and revised the grille to be one larger opening to keep a bit of a similar look to the current Santa Fe (although added some chrome as seen in the Accent and Elantra). Decided to keep the Tucson's bodyside treatment. It's different from the heavier rising beltline features of other current Hyundais, but again is similar to the Santa Fe. Edited the detailing around the fog lights as well.

2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

My attempt at a facelift for the Genesis Coupe, as one is coming for 2012 (or 2013?), in the form of a mock ad.

2013 Ford Flex

Spy pics are now floating around - this is my guess as to the facelift. Looks relatively mild, and these updates are based on the look of the current explorer plus what was visible through the disguise.
Version 1: Standard Model

Version 2: Platinum Model - the spy pics seems devoid of the Ford badge, and the current platinum different from the base model in that it has darken chrome, no Ford badge and "FLEX" spelled out on the hood.

Version 3: Platinum Model with painted bars, a la Explorer.

Mini Coupe Recoup


I wasn't overwhelmingly impressed by the Mini Cooper Coupe. For one I thought it should have been named the Mini Couper. But overall I thought the roof was overstylized and that otherwise stock looking rear end looked to abrupt and boxy. Below is my interpretation of a better looking version. My goal was to unclutter the roofline and change the tailights to something more unique and less tall to help visually reduce the height of the rear end. Plus I added a bit of extra scalloping between the taillights. Yeah - the taillights look a bit upset, and it has less visibility out the side windows, but you get the idea.
