Likely an early Model S. The function built in clay first before the style is added on.

That was the low budget (e.g., free) version. You get what you pay for...

Here's my attempt. I tried to make it look more glossy but the jpg picture had too many artifacts to look good, so I just left it with the "matte" finish.

My first thought was that this clay model looks like a RWD Mazda3 with some styling cues from the Mazda6. It all made sense when I realized that Franz von Holzhausen is a Mazda veteran.

@TEG - Where are those weird looking door handles from?

@PV4EV - Where'd the battery chrome below the doors go?

Are you hoping they go with something more traditional (like the Mazda 3) for Gen 3 handles? Or just a convenience for your mockup?

Convenience / expedience in the photoshop.

Are people generally happy with the auto-extending door handles on the Model S?

Wow, I like it!
Maybe a bit longer doors and a bit different front end/lights.


Ok, I've slightly stretched the door shut line to the right, and squished the height a little too. But this is all being done with a simple bit-map editor (not photoshop funnily enough!) ... so its only supposed to be a crude mock up to look at through squinty eyes !!!

I suspect that the Gen3 will actually be a proper 4/5 seater with 4 doors. Personally I quite like the idea of a 2 door Coupe shape, and only occasionally need the use of rear seats so 4 doors is not high on my priority list.

@PV4EV - Where'd the battery chrome below the doors go?


Its a crude mock-up done with a bit-map editor ! Wasn't expecting anyone to look at the detail too much ... In an ideal world with loads of time on my hands, I'd model the entire thing into a very high-res 3D model, and render it in all sorts of ways.
