Latest New Griffith sketch
Discussion
Yes, it is like the other, but I feel the design lent itself to be more TVR, and therefore I added the new front.
I felt the other later sketches were a bit gitly (soft), so, went back to the original Ferrari concept sketch as a start.
Anyhow, I like the direction, mix of trad and modern, a bit agressive, and racey.

its missing the front wing/door/below the wing mirror traditional line too
The traditional TVR cut-out at the front of the door is there for a good reason, GRP panels are difficult to align, but with the cut-out at the front of the door, you only have to line up the rear closing face, saves loads of bodyshop time = £££££.
On a slightly more practical note.
1. You'd have to sit the engine right back into the cabin to get its weight behind the front wheels if you want the front/mid engine handling and weight distribution. Perhaps as suggested by added the front door gaps it would give you the opportunity to extend the wheel base forward a tad.
2. With the extreme sloping rear roof line there will be no room for a rear roll over bar, well one that would protect the drivers head
.
That aside, liking the direction its going

Tell me about it, worked there for 5 years!, I know why it's there, but this is the 'direction' I like

.Indeed this is all to be considered.
What I need is a side view package to prove the layout in, but it does not exist, I'll probably do it over another available packege, then you will see that it can work.
Anyhow, keep the comments coming, when the new buyer gets the company, it'll all be on here as perfect marketing reference!
