This time around, I decided to tackle the McLaren SLR Speedster concept. I've collected and studied numerous spy pictures of this car at different angles to get the lines, contours and new details correctly and as accurately as I can. I also had images of the original 1955 300 SLR speedster which is what I believe the MB design house is paying homage to with this car.
Design Notes Even though the Speedster version of the SLR seems to only have the windshield and roof missing, I've learned that aesthetically, this speedster is a completely different beast from its McLaren SLR predecessor. The only parts that these two cars share are the headlights. Practically all body panels have been redesigned. The whole side panel, fenders and doors are all different. The hood was also redesigned to tame the slope leading to the high beams which was originally connected to the A pillar. The front bumper is new reflecting a bit more of an FXX Evo design cues. The side exit exhaust is now placed in the side fender vents as how it appeared in the original 1955 300 SLR instead of the rocker panels found in the current McLaren model. The shape of the vents are tricky but from all the spy pictures I studied, this is the closest I can come up with. I'll update it when I get to see some better spy pictures.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
