Hi-rez shots of Concept Climax

Marcus Reyner, the Design Director for the Concept Climax, was kind enough to send us some high-resolution images of the neo-retro British sports car that he and two of his classmates at Coventry University hope to make a reality. Check out our original post on the Concept Climax here, especially the comments where a good critique of the car's design is taking place. So far the reaction's been positive, with a few pieces of constructive criticism aimed at the Concept Climax's front end and oddly shaped rearview mirrors.

Amazing what a color can do! I passed over the white one like it wasnt't there. Then, the British Racing Green version rolled positive vibes all over me. Those upside triangle thingees say Rotary?

I guess they figure they can now justify the $3-5K dealer premiums that this $19K car is getting. Sorry, GM & Company lost big. But they did get idiot dollars.

Where does the Hi Resolution part come from? In this VERY DARK shade of a dark color (British Racing Green?), this car winds up looking like a large block of black... Wouldn't red have been a better color choice guys?

So this is being re-posted because this time they made it green? I had a hard time wondering why I should care about Yet Another Design Student Fantasy the first time around.

I'd love to see this on the road. With all the disguised racecars produced in Britain already, it's not impossible.

While I can see the resemblance to the solstice I believe the real intent was to do a retro inspired version of a classic Jag...

Reminds me of a cross between a Sky and the Mach 5. Kinda neat!

I've always wondered what would happen if a Solstice and a Miata got together after doing too many lines of coke...
