SDRT Broadsword
Another model from the fictional lineup of StarDragon Automotive's SDRT brand. This is the Broadsword, a modern muscle car much like the current Camaro, Mustang and Challenger. The design is based most heavily on the Dodge Challenger, I tried to make things different enough for it to be a bit original and don't think I quite managed it. But ah well, it's still a stab at getting the idea into visual form.

Yeah, seems like it's pretty hard to design a car that's kind of inspired by something while still looking different enough from it. Designing cars in general is tricky stuff, definitely not something I'd say I'm any good at! But when my brain gets an idea it won't shut up until I've given it a try. ;)
Of course it's got a V8! Hardly a proper muscle car if it didn't. ;)
Although to be fair, most of the European companies are capable of getting a lot more power out of a V8 than those in the US can usually be bothered about doing. ^^; But then a proper muscle car isn't really about high end tuning or finesse or clever engineering, it's about taking a stinking great heavy slab of a car and dropping the biggest engine you can find in it!
Though with that said I picture StarDragon Automotive as being a company that can respect the proper heritage of the American muscle car, while putting enough engineering effort into it that it can actually go around corners too.
