Camoria Automotive: The Best Isn't Good Enough

[Slim Jim]

The Mark Q Wagon is awesome! Great job on the commercial too.

We're Back


Design:

Front Fascia:
The car features an in-depth look at what makes a Camoria a Camoria. The Signature Grille is present, along with a stylish chrome strip separating the two sides. The grille is notably thinner than other variants. The design queues of the time were towards a thinner, sleeker look, and Camoria was more than happy to work with that. The most attractive pieces by far, however, are the elongated headlamps. They give the car a brushed back appearance as well as a look that captures the spirit of the 1960s. They are placed strategically on the flares of the wheels. This gives the headlamps a crimp down the center of the light. The side profile best portrays that idea.


Side Fascia:
No better way to idealize the 1960s than the silhouette of the car. The way the cars were made, the feel of theme, all warped into the idea of a smooth and stylish silhouette. The curves of the car complement the fixtures placed on. Note the crimped headlamps talked about in the previous section. Venti-Ports do make an appearance, but this time at the bottom of the car, to provide cooling for the brakes. The exhausts can be viewed from both the side and the rear. This exposed-exhaust idea was not too popular with cars of the time, but we at Camoria feel it makes the car feel not only sporty, but special.


Rear Fascia:
The side of the car that most will see . The rear is kept simple, in keeping with the times. Distinct badges can be seen identifying the name of the car and the engine (5.4L). The large rear grille accents the taillights. A chrome strip is placed in the center of the grille for styling purposes.

While reading this article, listen to the below song to truly get the feel for the car (The song came out three years after the car, but it best captures the liberty of the car)

Long time no see, good to have you back, what happened to you?

I've just been completely overbooked for the past month, but I hope the new car serves as a fitting comeback.

Design:

Front Fascia:
In keeping with the times, the VIII is styled with supreme luxury in mind. Chrome accents almost all of the features, including grille, daytime lamps, and front headlamp covers. The headlamps themselves are covered when not in use in order to give the car a smoother, more mysterious look. The daytime lamps cover the entire front accent pillar, giving the car a planted, tall look. The grille, the Signature Camoria, makes a rather large appearance. Inspired, in a sense, from the larger grilles of the 1950s, the VIII makes sure everyone around the driver know that he or she is driving a Camoria.


Side Profile:
This car has an absolutely beautiful silhouette. The accent lines of the body run parallel to those of the roof line. In order to accentuate this line, a chrome strip is put running across the entirety of the profile. In order to further draw attention to that line, three of our signature Venti-Ports are placed near the front of the car. The door handles are placed in-line with the chrome strip, giving the side a seamless flow. One of the most notable features on the side profile is the very elegant, very 1970s-y, Opera Light on the rear of the C-Pillar.


Rear Fascia:
Several distinct features appear on the rear of the VIII, including monogram, chrome-wrapped taillights, refined lettering indicating the name of the car, and a chrome-wrapped license-plate holder. The rear of the car conveys the luxury of the Camoria brand and the VIII as well as the front and side do.

How did you manage to fit a 5+L V8 in that Phase X body? I tried to fit a 3.8 flatplane and it said it was too big. In fact, I tried a 2L four cylinder and it still said it was too big. Sorry for the slight off topic.

[jhd1124]

Not a problem! It heavily depends on how you mount your engine. Also check on how you have your suspension.

Design

Front Fascia:
This car utilizes much of the new mod-pack to its advantage. For example, the vent around the headlamps are new vents which shape the typically rounded sides of the body into a sharper, more aggressive edge. The Signature Camoria grille is slightly altered for this vehicle. It is slimmed down as well as rounded near the bottom. The much-desired plastic lip returned after months of absence from the game. This is used mostly for color contrast on the car, a motif that one can note throughout the design.


Side Profile:
The side is kept basic so that the viewer of the car can appreciate the natural flow of the car's silhouette. The taillights seep around slightly to meet the accent line flowing on the side of the car. The handle is made of plastic, much like other accent stamps on the car.


Rear Fascia:
The gray contrasts beautifully with the white color of the car. The rear spoiler comes up only slightly for both aerodynamic and aesthetic purposes. The rear lip is also made of the gray plastic for more contrast. The back-up lights are also lined in the gray plastic for the same reason.

Design:

Front Fascia:
The front end of the IX features a luxurious and sensuous combination of heritage Camoria design ques. The dual-stranded headlamps turn sharply in the direction of the grille. This puts the center of focus on the grille, and, most importantly on cars of this prestige, the badge. A narrow bonnet bump flows down in the direction of the separation of the grille to yet again draw the attention of the viewer. The lip on the bottom, chrome-wrapped, protrudes from the front. The not only serves as functional downforce, but it also gives the car depth. Giving a car the right depth mean a world of difference. Cars of the 1970s were given too much depth, thus creating a strange profile. Cars of the 1980s had very little depth, thus creating drab, uninspiring cars. This car is equally a car to drive as it is a car to be seen driving. Thus, a great deal of detail was put into understanding the emotions of the viewer. The IX excites viewers by giving them hope about what the automotive market can look like in a few years. But this car is here, now.


Profile:
The luxury on the profile of the car is certainly apparent. During the design process, Camoria's Artists thought about the usability of the car. Who will be using this car? One consideration was the passenger. Our Artists pictured a tall Manhattan apartment building. A man and his wife walk out of their building to their IX which waits for them. The valet opens the rear doors as he greets them, all the while thinking about the IX. This is why our Artists spent as much time on the side of the car as the front and rear: every angle of this car should indicate luxury. The door handles flow smoothly in-line with the sloping chrome strip to suggest a stream-lined effect.


Rear Fascia:
The beauty is in the details, and few rear fascias are as detailed as the IX. Each taillight column is meticulously styled and placed in-line in the vent. The taillights flow with the natural shape of the vent that surrounds them. The words "Phase-IX" appear boldly and tall on the rear of the car, so drivers behind this car know exactly what it is. There is no doubt that this is a Camoria, and neither driver nor road-sharer should know or feel any different.

Wow that is sexy

[jhd1124]

Haha thanks!

[jhd1124]

Yes, we're back, and we're adding on to our incredibly successful line of cars: The Phase Series. This time, we feature the Phase-III. Specifically, we're going to take an in-depth tour of the designs and engine of the car, as well as review some figures. We hope you enjoy the presentation and will provide a great deal of feedback.

Design:

Front Fascia:
A great deal of time went into shaping the front of the car to best fit the stamps. The headlights on this car are very exciting. They give an aggressive look and also suggest that the car has a great deal of length with its swooping feature. The center grille is an interpretation of the Signature Grille. It was molded a bit more aggressively for this car. The contrast between the swooping lines of the body versus the sharp edges of the grille really adds a lot of character to the car. The lower portion of the front was styled to suggest width; the fog lamps are elongated along with the vents.


Side Profile:
The silhouette of this car is really fantastic. The flowing lines of the very-flared wheel arches meeting with the natural body lines gives the car a flow. The entire car, front side and rear, suggest a youth to the car. It looks hip, modern, and fitting for any 20-30 something looking for a fun cheap car.


Rear Fascia:
The Camoria Artists had two main concepts to incorporate when they designed the rear of the car: low and wide. We wanted to give the car a stout look because we felt it made it look planted and therefore rather sporty. Its duel chrome exhausts are there for the exact same reason. The taillights are a retro-line look. They manage to look classic yet somewhat futuristic. The reverse bar is low to the ground and one single bar.




Stats:
This is the top-of-the-line model. It features 5 premium seats and spectacular Bose surround sound. It is also equipped with Blutooth connectivity through our Camoria Infotainment system: DRiVE (Digital Recreation in Vehicular Entertainment, photograph below).

Wow , The Turbo Sport looks great , especially the taillights look very detailed. How long did they take?

Also like the idea with the infotainmants' name.

Good work!

[jhd1124]

Thanks for the compliment! They certainly are a labor of love. I just really like the end result. Doing the taillights width-ways like that does take less time than length-ways, which is on some other cars I've made. Those take easily 20 minutes.
