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

AND a roof that can be pulled down to have a cool cabrio car (also powered by a hydraulic 10L shock)

...And without the big hole at the trunk that 8448 leaves! Cool!!!

   Ok it’s a bit big for minifig size, but maybe a bionicle fits in quite ok...
And what about a 1.70m-tall human being?? (Yeah... I want to drive this car!! Can I? Pleaaase....)

   Oh and did I mention it uses only 2 technic sets to build??!
Let me guess: 8466 (gearbox and puke-green panels) and 8458 (tires and silver panels)... around 3000 pieces. I admire your suspension system: instead of simply using 8466’s 4wd system (that even would have given you 4ws), you built an entire 4wd system from scratch (and all with rather basic pieces)!!! I’d like to see the roof lifting mechanism (more detailed), and also a detail of the front suspension system.

This reminds me about your GT car. It’s still built? Will be there an instruction book for your Coupe/Cabrio (or at least its most intesting systems)?

(Oops... now I remember: I was supossed to make a .ldr of my little supercar a year ago... and I haven’t started... what a shame)


   Cheers!

Nathanael

Excellent job! Wish I could build like you do.
