Dodge Track Car
Britain has cemented
its position as the market leader for unique models and is home to the likes of
Ariel, Radical, BAC, Lotus and new players Zenos and Elemental.
But if a U.S. firm like
Dodge were to go down the track-car route, what could it come up with? To give
us an idea, rendering artist Thomas Belhacene has dropped what he dubs the
Osis.
The designer was
influenced by current track offerings yet wanted to retain characteristic
American design elements. The overall shape reminds us of the curious Plymouth
Prowler and incorporates open front wheels and exposed suspension elements. The
nose of the car is particularly eye-catching and absent of any obvious air
intakes or key aerodynamic elements.
The sides adopt a rather
simplistic design with numerous straight lines and sharp edges, including an
exposed section directly behind the front wheel arches. The rear is much the
same as the front in that it has a narrowly pointed shape completed with a
prominent LED taillight.
While it's extremely
unlikely that Dodge will produce such a car, particularly since the Viper has
been canned, it's interesting to see how such a car could look.
