Sort of reminded me of an Audi TT at first glance. Props for your CAD skills, I'd never have the patience for that stuff

I can't take full credit for the model. I found the general shape of the car online. Wheels, wings, diffusers and all additions will be my work.

It's a Nissan TC Carrera.

Nissan headlights.

Porsche taillights.

With a little TC in the blood.

Do you have the original thread (the one you did earlier without the wing)? That thing looks intense ....

Thanks.

I've got a comparison of the original CAD model with and without ground effects. I took the wing off as I just want to see the effects of the underbody tunnels.

Here are some before/after pics of the model itself. I wasn't sure how to evacuate the front diffuser air, so I just routed it straight out the side.
