    Idea for you. What if you took a GR86 and made it look like Porsche built it?..... Blending design languages could be a thread of ideas. (BMW if it was made by Mercedes, Ford if it was made by Chevy or even more wild crossovers etc.
    Just a thought - enjoy your videos immensely.

    @thomascriviera5779 3 года назад +1

    Probably a Unpopular opinion, and you are entirely entitled to your opinion that you like it. Yet, as a fellow Ford Capri enthusiast, I think the redesigned front end is absolutely hideous 😅 I do like what Sketch Monkey did to the side(I personally would have made slight RS2600/RS3100 racecar style widebody, maybe just a mm or 10, maybe 20 each side and still retain that classic Capri shoulder line, again, personal preference), the bigger rims and wider tires are stunning(especially the 'banana spoke' rims in general) and the headlights themselves look cool, could have used a gurney flap or a modernised 240Z ducktail to finish off the back end😅. But I think that modern Dodge Challenger, i.e. brick wall, front end is not pretty.
    I would have made rounder edges to start off(could just be a slight colour change or highlight to fix that, I can only criticise😅, not do the same as he does in Photoshop(I can on paper however😁)), or maybe a 'rounder' front end in general, like a modern Mustang has. As you delete that rounded bottom of the front end you lose the shape and feel of the front.
    Maybe use more of a gen 3 Capri 3.0S or Turbo bumper.(I cannot explain things that well, so please look up a Ford Capri 3.0S or Capri Turbo and you'll see what I mean as you read more) That has a little more shape to it with a, how shall I put it, schaled down '5mph bumper', a slight dip below that and a lip at the bottom, maybe top it off with a splitter like the 2019 Mustang GT350.
    Again, I will emphasise that this is MY opinion, and you do not have to do anything with it nor do I intend to bash in anyone elses opinion because I respect them all. This is just how I would have done it, and I only wanted to share it with all of you who are (most likely) just as creative minded as I am. As I also said that there are aspects of Sketch Monkeys redesign I absolutely DO like, and I would surely have used those too in my redesign. And I genuinely mean that.
    (It is like the term, "Respect all builds." Nobody said you have to like it, but you can still appreciate the effort put into it🤗)
    So thank you for reading, please let me know your thoughts by reacting to my comment, but please, be respectful😉 Thanks

    I generally really like your redesigns but this one missed the mark for me. The sweeping rear quarter window is one of the defining characteristics of a Capri. Changing the window shape to add a kink really looks quite odd, and combined with the new beltline it almost takes on a Mustang fastback look (cool - but doesn't suit a Capri).
    It's interesting you should have the idea of it being a cross between Japanese sport coupes and American pony cars. I would say that Japanese sport coupes were heavily influenced by European sports cars but often also drawing from American styling touches. I don't think the Europeans were paying much attention to what Japan was doing in the late 60s. That said, what goes around comes around and there was an interesting Japanese tuner style '71 Capri (fender flares, Wats with stretched tires) on BAT recently.
    For what it's worth - the Capri was never sold in the US with rectangular lights, that was the European Mk2 only, and only for 3 or so years in the mid '70s. The US Capri II had the four eyes. I agree - a much preferable look.

    The capri name was used by ford Australia in 1990 with an aussie built 2 door front wheel drive convertible, left hand drive cars were built for the north american market, those cars were badged as a mercury capri, it was a competitor to the mazda miata (mx-5) in Australia there was a limited edition xr-2 with was turbo charged. They looked really cool at the time. The run only lasted till about 94.

From the designer's point it looks really cool but from the driver's point it's a trouble to change the whole front body part. Plus front fenders and a bumper both supposed to be made of plastic or metal.

It has the same look of the Toyota Mustang of the mid 70's. If someone doesn't know what I'm talking about, well it the Celica. Just jam up looking cars for the time.

    @nigelbritton964 3 года назад

    IMO the front of the Capri update is too rectangular and blocky, prefer the original myself. Side profile is pretty good with a cleaner, straighter crease and an additional rear shoulder line but the updated door handles are positioned too low. The C pillar and rear side window look more BMW/Mustang than Capri.
    The larger carried over wheels/tyres, wider track, lowered windshield wipers, increased tumblehome and rake of windshield plus updated mirrors gives it a fresher and more modern appearance but there is a jarring 'bump' where the A pillar and roof join.
    Modernizing a classic is no easy feat without it looking compromised but it sure looks fun doing so.

    Yes.... Here the guy that keeps asking for a redesign of the awesome 635CSi, are you also into interior design as well? If so, interior redesigns might be a good content for this (or your 3rd??) channel.

    While the rest of the world only got the V6 with the biggest engine being the RS3100 in South Africa we got the Capri Perana V8. It was the only production V8 Capris to exist. Powered by a 320 ci Windsor V8 with a 450cfm Holley carb and a Borg Warner 4 speed top loader gearbox. The diff was from Australia and had a LSD. Only 500 were made as its main purpose was to race them.
