Notes

This is a design study inspired by the Aston Martin Bulldog. I envision what would happen if the Bulldog were redesigned with modern technology and an electric drivetrain. The result is a car with four-wheel steering, suction fans, four-wheel drive, movable flaps, and lower drag. This car would have great handling and top speed, even with a weight of 2 tons and a length of 5.2m. With 2000 hp or 1500 kW, this car can break 500km/h if the design team can get the drag coefficient to be as low as 0.25.

However, upon reviewing the design, I found that the proportions of this car are quite odd. Heavily inspired by the Aston Martin Bulldog, the car's wheelbase is obscenely long. As a result, the car is extremely ugly when viewed at certain angles. Still, I cannot decide if it is truly ugly or not. Thus, I decided to post this eyesore online to gauge potential public reception.

This car has the most basic functionalities I have envisioned. Detailed suspension dynamics will be nailed down once the design is finalized.

Please comment on potential room for improvement.
