Sports Car Designer™ is software designed to allow anyone, from 7 to 97, to easily design cars. It is easy enough for a young car enthusiast doing recreational "dream car" design. On the other hand, it is serious enough to be useful to a professional car designer looking for a quick tool to experiment with proportions and profiles before moving on to other software such as CAD systems.

With the ability to overlay driver image and engine image, packaging issues can be dealt with up front to assure that the car you design faces realities… a roof height that can accommodate real people, and room for the engine type of your choice, for example. Often, overly stylized sketches are the first step of car design, only to discover that the look envisioned cannot be attained once realistic dimensions are addressed. Sports Car Designer allows you to shape your car with the hard realities honored from the start.

Features:

• Design coupes, convertibles (top up or down) and open cockpit racecars

• You never face a blank drawing... always begin with car that you reshape

• Easy to use, hard to go wrong… move things, move them back

• No drawing talent needed; ArcTool generates smooth curves (with preview)

• Body shape smoothly shrinks or stretches as needed if you change wheelbase

• Easily vary nose and tail length, choose fender flares (none, small, medium, and large)

• Raise, lower, or tilt the entire fender line without the need to recreate the shape

• Save your designs; use them later as a starting point for a new version

• Saved design is not just a picture… it is a complete record of your design choices

• Export your design as DXF file for most CAD or drawing programs

• Save a snapshot of your design as a JPEG file

• Background grid can be turned on or off

• Shading and reflections give the look of a realistic professional illustration

• Choose inline or V engine, number of cylinders, V-angle, bore, and stroke

• Engine details result in a realistic depiction of engine size and proportion

• Based on engine detail choices, displacement is calculated, and horsepower estimated

• Choose engine location and orientation (longitudinal or transverse)

• Driver can be reclined, raised, lowered, moved fore/aft, and legs can be moved

• Helmet and various types of roll bars and roll cages can be added

• Wheel sizes from 13" to 22" and tire aspect ratios from 30 to 75

• 11 wheel styles, each with a large choice of spoke count, for dozens of different looks

• 5 body colors (red, yellow, green, blue, and titanium)

• 8 wheel colors (body colors, plus silver, gold, and black)

• Place mirrors, door handles, air inlet and outlet ducts, headlights, and taillights

• Place carbon fiber or body color aerodynamic devices: splitter, dive plane, wing, diffuser
