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!!!

I don’t know how the 8448 looks in reality. I don’t have it :-(
  
   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....)

If you can shrink, you may!
  
   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.

I know I always like to do things the hard way. So a limited amount of pieces and try to design things that are not the most common ones. I’ll see what I can do about extra details of the frontsus and the roofmechanism...

   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)?

The GT is dead for now unfortunately. I have only 2 new lego technic sets. 1 x 8458 & 1 x 8466, so I had to break the GT apart. But don’t worry I have it in MLCAD so it can be built again!!

   (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)

I don’t blame you. I still have to make a .ldr of about a half dozen of my models in CAD ;-)
  

Excellent job! Wish I could build like you do.

Of what I’ve seen I’m sure you can! The little supercar is excellent! So many details and features in such a small design!

Just try and you’ll see!
