    Could we be witnessing the unexpected merger of Audi and Aston Martin?

    This is Audi's entry into the FIA GT1/2 Championships beginning next year, following the Corvette ZR1/2 and Aston Martin DB4.5, the R4 V5 is expected to be very competitive, being the only one with 2 drive wheels, and the ZR1/2 likely to face a power disadvantage as the halfsupercharger doens't function quite like half a supercharger.

    When deciding which half of the car to remove, you might think about leaving the windshield in front of the driver. I'm also worried that the weight distribution has been ruined, even though power to weight is much improved. A dilemma.

    This may be splitting, uh, hoods (groan), but am I the only one who's bugged by manufacturers making these half-cutaways... and then preserving their entire logos by moving them off-center?

    It destroys the artistic symmetry of an otherwise brilliant exercize. And it's insulting: if you think I'm intelligent enough to appreciate and investigate an engineering cutaway, then I'm also intelligent enough to figure out what car it is and who built it.

    This one even goes so far as to use a 2/3 scale grille. Really? Either cut the damn car in half the right way, or don't do it at all.

    @GIC pours some out for the fallen: Yes, you are the only one.

    and they didn't move the logo off center. The cut is curved to carefully avoid the logo.

    as for your comment about the grill, well... that new crop of weed you got must be more potent than you realize. This grill appears to be the right size.

    @kaneshadow: Boo. You know what, I was thinking about this after leaving work after my comment and was going to post a redaction "upon further review", once I had the chance. But it seems in the ensuing few hours you beat me to it. So I stand corrected.

    It's a subtle bit of eye trickery - the cutaway curves toward the LF wheel. The angle of the photo makes this difficult to realize at first. But yet it still lends slight credence to my original complaint: it's not entirely a 1/2 cutaway either. So what's so important about showing the whole grille then?

    The AM cutaway may also be cut just off-center to preserve the logo in its natural location. But it presents an illusion of being off-center, and still looks weird to me. Maybe it's the weed.

    Great Caesar's ghost!

    So what's the extra caliper on that rear disc? Parking brake? Seems superfluous.

    As someone who does a fair amount of cutaways of complex machinery (sadly not cars), I'm in utter awe of his skill and also his technique. I love to hear the fact that he uses his own knowledge and judgement on undisclosed details and tries to fit the "personality" of the cars he paints. Total vindication for me and truly awesome results.

    I have always found the term "car p0rn" to be misguided, offensive, inaccurate, juvenile, silly and embarrassing.


    Until now.

    Amazing stuff...


    Yoshihiro-san must think cut-aways of recent Chrysler designs (especially since being taken over by Cerberus) unworthy of his talents.


    They're just a black hole surrounded by a candy shell.

    As beautiful as Grey's Anatomy, referring to the original, not the insipid show, which I wouldn't allude to even if these drawings were done in crayon by an infant orangutan.

    Not as subtle as medical illustration (which photography still hasn't replaced inasmuch as I'm aware), but stunning nonetheless. Do WANT the Phil Hill-signed RA272 print.

    Dear Insider, your style is confusing.

    Are you the guy that posts trashy posts on assorted tasteful subjects such as giant finger nails, being dragged under a Van, or celebrity rides? Or the guy that posts about Art Cars, the DS and these wonderful cutaways?

    Not that you should chose, but I see no logic or homogeneity in your work.

    What's the dealy-yo?
