As I'm sure most of you remember, Autoweek posted a Jim Dunne designed GTO illustration and in their article said the actual GTO was sleeker, wider, and lower than the GTO depicted. So, I thought I would give it a shot and alter the illustration to make it sleeker, wider, and lower.

Here is a link to the original article with the original illustration.

Here is my 2 minute chop:

the front still doesn't flow with the rest of the body.. but then, the orginal chop was based off the current dated model
Personally I wasn't too happy when I saw this and heard that this is what it would look like.. I was hoping for something more like the Ram Air 6 Concept :(

This is the start of my 07 Caprice. I still need to do something with the front end though.Any suggestions? B)


Looks good! Maybe for the front you could extend the grille to about the point where the lights start to curve more sharply. I also suggest moving up the front wheels so that it appears more like a longitudinal FR setup.

Now I know why I don't really care for that front end design... It hit me once I saw one of these on the highway <_<

It kind of looks like a 90's Grand-Am to me...

Well it is actually slightly larger than the original, and making it bigger would have distorted it. I would have liked it to be bigger too because they I could have change more things rather than basically just playing with the length and width.
