(from Christian
Cyrulewski) The changes were mostly on the rear end, I
added a chamfer where the body meets the rear diffuser to visually
lift the rear, I extended the rear about 25mm and narrowed it by
more than 50mm to visually give it a more aggressive and planted
stance. I also flattened the rear deck area and added a chamfer to
the spoiler to match the profile of the 69 stingray better and also
to give it a more modern look. The last change was to the front
fender in front of the wheel, I added some fullness to give it
better lead-in to the grill area.
The dimensions on the C3R are the same as the z06 except the length,
my car is 4 inches longer. I also wanted to mention that the
headlights are not pop-up, I don't want to say right now how they
work because I going to create an animation that shows the process.
One of the main complaints was that people thought it was going to
have the pop-up lights.
Now that the main surfaces are done I am going to focus on the
details like if it is possible to have 69 style door handles and the
possibility of moving the location of the fuel filler to the rear
deck, again like the C3.
