Lykan Hypersport

I am pleased to announce my most complicated and rewarding build, the Lykan Hypersport.

The lego car blog: https://thelegocarblog.com/2017/02/16/you-cant-put-a-price-on-exclusivity/

It all started with framework. I had to design it so it wouldn't have any motors in the back or the front of the wheels. Most of my previous builds have been too large in those areas, so I tried create more room with this build. This is a really early version of the framework.. a lot has been changed for the final version 

Some of my main goals for this build were to create as many realistic functions possible to the real car while maintaining a cosmetically appealing bodywork.

The curves and features on this car are par to none in regards to bodywork difficulty and functions. It all began with the framework and a 4 speed manual transmission.

The rear suspension, (horizontal coil over) was beyond me as to how I could implement it with Lego.

I discussed my concerns with Dugald and 5 minutes later he sends me a photo (below) of a roughed out version of the proper suspension.

We ended up using that same suspension for the build. The 4 speed transmission and rear suspension was build with a lot of help from him. I bumped a ton of ideas his way in regards to proper proportion and it really helped speed up this build.

Once the ground work was laid out, it was time for the functions. I absolutely had to motorize the Lykan doors, to the same extent of the real car.

This beast has working lights, servo for steering, 2xl motors for drive, 1 m-motor for doors, 1 m-motor for rear wing, working twin turbo Flat 6 with fan. The front hood has an original latch system I designed to open the same amount as the real car. The rear engine cover was designed to have similar appearance to the real car and I found the grey flags to have the right shape and size.

Everything opens like the real car :classic:

The rear wing tilts and raises.

I tried to create a new style of seats ?

One guy in the Techlug forum mentioned the front bumper would look awesome in black. I tried that out and must say, I might like this look a bit better...

Instructions coming soon!

You did an excellent job incorporating more "Technic" functions into your model.  Although it is not available in red, did you consider using part 24116: Technic Panel Curved and Bent 6 x 3 in the corner with the small #21 or #22 small panel above it?

I'll see what that looks like Joe! It might be tough placing the bent 6x3 in there as I have attached the whole LGB bumper to the large panel. I'll post a photo if it works out! Only downside would be that it will be in black as you said...
