A ludicrous IDEA

[deepshark]

pun intended....

Guys, I teach CAD, and I have been overlaying pics of the 8C and the GT.....and there is a real amount of overlap (will post pics soon)

So...how about a carbonfibre 6C Competizione ? strip a 3.2 V6 GT down (take all the panels off, and sell as spares), and then make carbon-fibre panels to replicate the form of the 8C. Lights can be replicated with off-the-shelf parts. The doors can stay, as can the mirrors. Hardly defacement - more like wish-fulfillment.

I am willing to do the work of the CAD design drawings. Builds can take place in NZ - plenty of superyacht companies needing the work, plus NZ Land Transport will permit a car to be modified as long as its essential structure is not tampered with - which it won't be, in this case.

Its hardly a cheapie though , GT's costing what they do - we all love the GT, but a GT that looks like an 8C - what a concept !

Comments ? Is it too loony ? Or not loony enough ?

Let's see the photoshops and then we can judge

Sounds perfectly insane to me, open cheque book anyone ?

I expect someone to build a fibreglass kit car.
Probably based on something ****, like a Montego or something

Hi guys, still working on the drawings atm, will have it sorted soon - they will be 3D renderings.

I have one question:

Where's the pun in 'ludicrous idea'?

This could end up on the BarryBoys thread

[deepshark]

The pun is the word IDEA, which is an acronym for the styling group that created the 155

I would love to see this come to fruition, is there any further news on it? How close actually are the GT and 8c?

looking forward to seeing this! :-)

Can you do it to a GTV.. I'll donate mine. I'll even drive it up to Whangerei for you.
