Description The Reus is a two seated city car. It is designed mainly for city driving and short trips to country side or golf course. A comfort and stable ride is one of the main factors for pleasure ride. With its compact size ( width - 1800 mm, length 3500 mm, height 1000 mm) the car is very maneuverable and comfortable in city conditions. The low suspension and low center of gravity gives us an extreme stability in corners when we want to feel some adrenaline rush.

The central mounted engine gives a perfect balance between front and rear axel. A high torque in low RPM delivered by the propulsion system promotes an extreme acceleration.

The low profile of the car lowers the wind resistant that gives us fuel economy and higher high-speed. A specially designed rear end combined with the aerodynamic shape of the body will give us the down force to keep the car stable on the road even at very high speeds.

The construction of the body is designed for maximum strength with minimum mass. A special aluminum space frame is placed over the body and also is used like a roll cage to protect the passenger in extreme conditions. The composite panels cover the entire body to reduce the mass of construction without compromise of strength. The entire body is made from very few details which will reduce the assembly time and will simplify the process. A possibility to use almost only recycled materials will improve the efficiently of the car.

The other factor which will improve the Reus is the fact that the car is driven mainly by electric power. We all know how important is to use a restorable energy sources as much as possible. The propulsion system contains a four cylinder small size bio diesel engine combined with high power electric motor which also is used like generator when the car goes down hills or is in "Charge mode", when we are in place where is no access to the electric network. Both the bio diesel engine and the electric motor can run together to produce high torque when is needed , or to be separated or skipped when this is possible. The extra electromagnetic brakes are installed on all wheels and are used to transform the braking energy into electric and charge the batteries. Using the electromagnetic brakes to stop quick from high speed also gives the advantage of smooth braking and saves resource of the conventional brake system which is used only at low speed.

The highly efficient triple head lights provide a good visibility in night or in extreme whether conditions. The rear lights design makes the car to have individual look on the road. Small cameras are mounted into side view mirrors of the car and at top of the car. A big front wind shield also increases visibility.

It's like a Koenigsegg had sex with a Bugatti Veyron, and this is the result.

Wow, another great job from Sqwall. At first, I was quite that impressed (as it’s not much in my taste of cars) but there were a few details which I loved. Firstly, I love the exhaust on this one. You really got it right. Secondly, I love the headlights. They look very futuristic (to a certain degree) and are nice and large, with a β€œsuper car” look to them. You really nailed it on those two parts.

Now, as for the body of the car itself, I’m not much into it. Look to…chubby and small. I suppose that it suits its purpose well, but just isn’t that β€œsporty”, even with all the vents and other aerodynamic features.

Overall, I like the car, but it’s defiantly my favorite of all your designs. Nice work though.

Rhino is one of the most comprehensive nurbs modelers on the market.

Wow, cool! Whatever filter(s) you used make it look like a vector or like it was done in Photoshop - how'd you do that?

Sqwall In reply to ExtremeJordan [2007-01-09 06:52:54 +0000 UTC]

I have tried to make a cool studio render. And after the render I used Photoshop to get authentic film like appearance and grain.

Ok, because it seriously looks like a digital drawing and not a render!

I love this, however in some of the pictures the hood shadow is too dark making the left-right front proportions seem off.

Hey Sqwall, i saw your other car that you have here on dA in a swedish carmagazine, amazingly cool!

This one is great too, reminds me of the Lamborghini Gallardo.

Good luck!
