Well, I was having a tough time trying to develop a profile for my vehicle that is interesting. I am using the Audi quattro from the 80's as an inspiration, I figure that a sports car that sits higher is much easier for people to get into and out of than a low one. It also fits better over a Cadillac CTS package and provides answers to some logistical issues that lower cars encounter such as speed bumps and steep inclines.

This vehicle is as long as a 2008 Cadillac CTS but sits a bit higher and has a longer wheelbase.

Wheel design is coming up next.

I have been having a difficult time over the past few weeks developing a profile for the Cadillac Studio that I am currently participating in. This is a few select sketches that Have been done trying to develop a concept. I have decided to go with the "wrap" feature illustrated in the first sketch as a way to use some vintage cadillac covered wheel inspiration.

I know what you're all thinking, "how does it turn?" Well, a solution has presented itself in the form of omnidirectional wheels. They are used primairly on forklifts other heavy moving equipment. Each wheel is like a conical gear which spins either clockwise or counter in order to propel the vehicle in the desired direction.
