WMD Thunderer

Class: Sports Coupe
Layout: Front engine, Rear drive
Engines: I6 and V8
Transmission: Choice of manual or auto, both 6 speeds.

First go at the car designer. Love some aspects of the design here, not too happy about the others.



Front I'm really happy with, trying to go for a hidden headlight design like the early Camaro and Charger. Power-dome hood with plenty of room for supercharged V8 shenenigans.



Would have liked more flair to the profile, a more pronounced coke-bottle line, and I think I'll later try to add some brake cooling ducts in front of the rear wheels.
The wheel package is obviously placeholder.



Spent more time on the rear than anywhere else, and went trough dozens of different designs before settling on this relatively simple one. Note the snazzy little lip spoiler.

Borealis Vigen

Class: Compact Hatchback
Layout: Front engine, Front drive
Engines: Choice of I4's, NA and turbocharged.
Transmission: Choice of manual or auto, both 6 speeds.


Very restrained and minimalistic front, but I think it works rather well. Mainstream cars are supposed to be a bit bland anyway.

Not much to say here. Door handle is integrated and hidden into the C-pillar to give a cleaner look.

Again simplistic rear end.


And now you're probably asking where the hot version is? Don't worry, we got that covered as well.
WMD Vigen WRC

Class: Compact Sport Hatchback
Layout: Front engine, AWD
Engines: Turbocharged I5.
Transmission: Manual 6-speed.

Proper, bit old-fashioned performance hatch. AWD, low gearing, more a EVO-fighter than a rival for the GTI crowd.

Much more aggressive front end. Opened up the grille and vents some to help that angry, turbocharged I5 breathe. Cooling ducts for front brakes.

Hood scoop on top, intercooler high up beneath it to save it from getting damaged on dirt roads. Vents in the back of the bonnet to let hot air escape, and ducts to help extract hot air from the front brakes behind the front wheels.

Bit more agressive here as well, colling ducts and double exhaust tip. Might go back on that really, as it's not strightly neccesary and only add weight.

Valkyrie Oden

Class: Personal Luxury Coupe
Layout: Front engine, rear drive
Engines: Turbocharged I6, NA V8, Twin-Turbo V8
Transmission: Choice of manual or auto, both 7 speeds.


Over the last couple years I've become increasingly taken with Cadillac's Art & Science design language, and fallen completely for some of their recent concepts like the Ciel and Elmiraj.
I tried to bring some of that over to a large, luxury coupe, and while I don't think I succeeded in making a very attractive design, I did come up with some new ways to use features and created some rather interesting results I'd like to share.


The front isn't that unique, and it's also the aspect I'm least happy with. Used the small shield-style grille as a badge and turned the lights onto their side.



Rather elegant solution for a door handle. Vent with a very thin side indicator.


Again used some side indicators, made them properly thin this time, to represent chrome strips that I used in the fender vents.


I really have a thing for side indicators by the looks of it... Used them again to create the cool vertical taillights. Used vents for exhaust and a very large cutout to sculpt the rear and make it a bit more interesting.
