Collage of Mixed Sketches #7
Study In Scarlet
Study in Scarlet – An experiment/study to recreate the spirit of the original Alfa Romeo Disco Volante from 1952 based on a modern day package and dimensions. For the purpose the wheelbase and overall dimensions from Ferrari F12 Berlinetta were used (keeping it all within Fiat Group) and a new modern body was created. The main challenge was to find a good balance between the iconic features from the past and execute them in a modern way – the car was neither to look like a restomod or retro inspired cyberpunk design. While still being an experiment, this project realistic and can be executed as one-off based on the donor car.
3D model done in Autodesk Alias – a combination of SubD & nurbs modelling. Rendered in Autodesk VRED in GPU mode with NVIDIA RTX 3090.
Collage of Mixed Sketches #6
Another selection of car design sketches done over the year… my personal favourite is probably the BMW front 3/4 sketch in the middle of the page. The small sketch below the BMW is actually a very quick proposal for a Lotus Exige.
Alfa Romeo Disco Volante
First “proper” tests in VRED of the Disco Volante project. Still lots of work to be done, but I am happy with the overall shape/direction. More to come

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Lotus Esprit Personal Design Project, Update
I had a little bit of time on my hands and decided to “block” a quick-ish rear 3/4 sketch.
Collage of Mixed Sketches #5: Bespoke Jaguar F-Type
Collage No. 5 – Bespoke Jaguar F-Type Limited Series Exploration. During my tenure at Jaguar, I undertook the challenge of envisioning bespoke and limited-run series inspired by the iconic Lindner Nocker E-Type. The sketch page below shows blending some historic references/features together with the contemporary design language of the era, all on the package of Jaguar F-Type.
