Design inspiration for '89? I've never seen it published, but I think the Porsche 962 had to have been a major influence on the '89 body design. Google images

RE: Design inspriation for '89? Yup, that and throw in a British Thrust 2 into the center between the fenders. |

RE: Design inspriation for '89? I think you're right. I think I read somewhere about Anton looking at land speed record cars... Even the fenders here are very similar.

RE: Design inspriation for '89? Don't know if the Porsche was an inspiration, but someone combined one very nicely with a Batmobile model for a contest in Scale Auto Enthusiast several years ago. what about Kane's sketch, inspired by a C4 'Vette? |

RE: Design inspriation for '89? Anton Furst: ""With the car, we came up with just a brute force machine that didn't actually subscribe to any time period. What we did not want to do - because we knew that the Batmobile was something that people want to see and they don't want to see a bad one - was a concept car like you see at a motor show or something like that. We wanted it to become some extraordinary machine that you had never seen before." To accomplish that, Furst and his team "took elements of all the heavies images that we could think of, like that Blackbird aircraft, and, we went back to the salt flat speed machines of the '40's, when they were doing all the speed trials, an d then took elements of all the vehicles that had that brutality built into them, like the Stingray car, and put them together. Also, we wanted to have that sense that it really goes fast, as though it was just an engine." "And we came up with this," he says, pointing to a two-foot long, black model. "We wanted it to look very forbidding, and the most forbidding things that we had ever seen were some of those surveillance aircraft, so it had that stealth look to it. It's like a knight in armor, with that shrouded, helmeted feel to it, and then with a rocket engine right down it - so you end up with this piece of pure expressionism."" Full Article |

RE: Design inspriation for '89? We were talking bout if the new show Stacked does well, will it be due the the fact that Pamela Anderson only wears tops that allow her nipples to show through or will it be down to her incredible acting. Sláinte is táinte

RE: Design inspriation for '89? Yeah, okay. I didn't think I ever heard of the 962 being mentioned before. The one pictured above is an '82. _________________________________________________ www.shooterjennings.com |
