Hi!

After a long time I'm able to present a new technic car:

<<http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/industrialdesigner/Supercar/detail_from_the_back.jpg>>

I tried to put as many cool features in this car I possibly could do.
Some specs:

- All wheeldrive with a double wishbone suspensionsystem
- V 12 engine and a 'normal' 5+1 speed gearbox
- sort of scissor doors that goes up and slide parallel to the side of the car
at the same time (hydraulics are used)
- AND a roof that can be pulled down to have a cool cabrio car (also powered by
a hydraulic 10L shock)

Want to see more? You could have a look at the rest of the pics at:

Ok it's a bit big for minifig size, but maybe a bionicle fits in quite ok...

Oh and did I mention it uses only 2 technic sets to build??!

Cheers!

Nathanael
