It Came from Kyrgyzstan: Steel Drake’s Volkswagen Concept Sports Car

|

Imagine for a second that, in the very near future, Audi is facelifting the TT to look more like its big brother R8. Then, halfway through the project, Audi cans it and hands over all its sketches and prototyping model to Volkswagen which then decides to put the two-door coupe into production.

Kyrgyzstanian graphic designer “Steel Drake” has created something very much fitting with this scenario in the form of his Volkswagen Concept Sports Car. Looking like a scaled-down, front engined Audi R8, Steel Drake’s Concept Sports is a simple-yet-sleek design let down only by some questionable design choices.

Take for instance the drooping taillights that seem more befitting a Chinese car than one built in Germany, or the peculiar concave curves around the doors that seems stuck on rather than an integral part of the design. Otherwise it’s quite good looking, though perhaps more something Infiniti would produce than Volkswagen.

The first three blogs make me ashamed to be an American.We are fast becoming a third world nation mainly because of our ignorant approach to the rest of the world.

The car is not to my liking but it may be the American way to rant hatred, but not from me.

I agree with Polyester Poontang. And if anything american automotive design is some of the worse around.

what's with the doors?

The door scoops just don't work for me. Other than that it's a good VW group style design.

"He probably never left the US.....etc."

These dumb fucks are inbred rednecks who are insecure as the rest of the world is progressing and they are declining.

I am sure these morons can't even find the USA on a map.

Those who can.. do...those who can't....critisize.
