No Longer a 1995 Acura Integra

I first read about this mod on Acurazine.com. Garo set out to build his dream-car. Which was a vehicle with a 2005 Acura TL front and 2005 Infiniti G35 2DR coupe for the back. If you need to stop and re-read that sentence again, I'll wait. *pauses for a second* Well anyway, on to the pictures!

[Making Of] Acura ASCC

"The Advanced Sports Car Concept will not only take your eyes to unexpected places, it will transport the rest of you, as well." - Acura.com


Some sketches were drawn up. Makes me wonder what the car would have ended up like if they stuck with this version.




This is the design they ended up building. Designers were inspired by nature. They studied "cracks in glaciers and the contours of sand dunes," this gave them a sense for the natural flow of shapes, edges and movements.




Next a quarter scaled clay model was made to establish the form.




Painted version of the clay model.


Designers further fine-tuned details using a computer-aided design (CAD) program.






A full size model was built.




Photos of the final product: The NSX's replacement?




There is a rumor saying that Acura is scrapping this as the NSX's replacement.

[Making Of] Acura ASC

"Advanced Sedan Concept: The Bold Future of Luxury

The ASC mixes classic Acura design elements 'Keen Edge' surfacing for bold, in your face exterior that simultaneously exudes a mysterious aura of luxury. One can only hope that the future arrives early." - Acura.com


There were a wide variety of inspiration.


From art and architecture to industrial and fashion design.


Next a quarter scale clay model was made to visual the car in 3D.


After the scaled model was created, it was scanned and imported into a computer-aided design (CAD) program.




The designers can fine-tune the car's details on the computer.








A full scaled model was made from the CAD data, this gave "the designers their first experience with the vehicle's actual size."

The finished product was released November 29, 2006.
