mikemodeler Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 So does that mean we all got it right regardless of our vote????????? My streak is still alive.
ChrisR Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 This car and pictures were used for the press release of the Maserati MC12. It might just be a 1:1 model although I think they would use the real deal?
Badluck 13 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Uhhhhhhh Harry......you didn't include a "I'm Not Sure" button to click on................... :lol:
mr moto Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Could it be neither? Maybe it was made in Photoshop.

Harry P. Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 Could it be neither? Maybe it was made in Photoshop. No, that's not an image... it's either a real car or a full-scale mockup. I think it's the real thing, but there's no way to be sure.
sjordan2 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Based on the additional images linked below, it looks an awful lot like a digital illustration. The link also shows a real version at an expo, and the comparison with the other images tells me they're digital. http://www.sportscarcup.com/maserati-mc12-corsa/
Harry P. Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 They may be retouched, but those are not images created from scratch... they're photos of either a real car or scale mockup.
sjordan2 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Digital or not, this is kind of interesting - a website on car design featuring this car, with an ad for Rhinoceros 3D car modeling software. Click on the ad and there's a very cool computer video on the Audi R8. http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2006/06/05-maserati-mc12-corsa/

The link also shows a real version at an expo, and the comparison with the other images tells me they're digital. http://www.sportscar...ati-mc12-corsa/ Thank for the additional photos! When I look at the 5 photos in this group I would bet money that four of the photos are a clay mockup. When you look at the one in the lower left, it is obviously the real deal. The windscreen is clear and you can see the interior. If you look at that front end and then compare it to the front of the other photos it is significantly differant. The left and right intakes are significantly more inset as is the center. The windows look very much like the mylar covers areas used most commonly on clay mockups.

Click on the ad and there's a very cool computer video on the Audi R8. http://www.carbodyde...ati-mc12-corsa/ Well, the ads seem to rotate in and out. Here's the video I was talking about. Nice wireframe demo towards the end. PS: The MC12 was developed using extensive wind tunnel testing, so our Auto ID car could be a mock-up used for that purpose. Here are some additional auto show shots of the car, with blackout windows and no interior shots, so it's probably a prototype, and the only engine shots show it on a stand and not in the car. http://www.sport-cars.org/serve.php?t=maseratimc12 Edited October 14, 2011 by sjordan2

Harry P. Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 That's not a better shot... that's the exact same one I used (I just cropped it a little).
Jantrix Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Real or model? The answer: I'm not sure!!! Not cool.
Harry P. Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 Not cool. I'm pretty sure it's "real"... but not positive. So... I didn't realize you even ever played this game. Sorry to disappoint you...
Jantrix Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I'm pretty sure it's "real"... but not positive. So... I didn't realize you even ever played this game. Sorry to disappoint you... Yep, I play, I just don't go beyond voting to avoid loking silly when I'm wrong. And yeah Harry thanks to you, I won't sleep for not knowing. I hope you can live with yourself.
