PG Car Design - Weekly Update 8/31/2014

The first week of classes at Georgia State is over! I'm finally ready to get a solid schedule down. Either today or tomorrow, I'll be posting a step-by-step tutorial of how to draw an F-150. Here's the reference picture I used and the final product.

I'm also looking to start working on some kind of brand. I'm not quite sure what kind of products I want to create, but I have some designs that I may be able to use. Hope you guys like this truck drawing, as it is my first. I'll be writing again soon!

August 27th, 2014

M600 Roadster by Noble is almost ready





British car manufacturing company Noble has announced that their new supercar (the M600 Roadster) that they spoke about a few years back now has enough demand from international buyers to go into production. The ticket price they slapped on these bad boys is 300,000E or around $450,000. So far, the car will only operate manually, but there has been some discussion of paddle-shifters.

Engine stats:
-650 HP
-4.4 Liter Twin-Turbo V8
-That's all you need to know.

The entire body is to be made out of carbon fiber, weighing about 2,600 lbs. Though there is no official release date, the Roadster should be released before the end of 2015.

This week, I finished up my summer. Classes at Georgia State start tomorrow and I’m excited to finally get back to having a schedule. I also got nominated for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge: Check out the video below.

It’s going to go viral. For sure.

Car Tech Update - 2015 Corvette Stingray.. 8-Speed

August 21st, 2014

Sick New Transmission

It's 2013. Your new Corvette is a 7-Speed manual, a beautiful american hunk of awesome. But now fast-forward to 2014 and its the beginning of a new model year. And the new Stingray is about to blow your 2013 out of the water.

Check out this video of a test drive of the new 'Vette.



 "GM says its new 8-speed Hydra-Matic 8L90 shifts gears 0.08 seconds quicker than Porsche’s PDK at wide-open throttle." 

Ooooh, look out Porsche. 80 milliseconds on your ass.

The 2015 Corvette is fun to drive on the streets too. If you're in the buying market, this is one definitely to look out for.

PG Car Design - Weekly Update 8/17/2014

August 17th.. My birthday! ..And it was a good one. I got some tickets to go to Music Midtown at Piedmont Park in September, and I got a new set of professional colored pencils so that my car drawings can be extra dope.

My custom design just got a little bit of swag added to it. I'm going to pimp this ride with a metallic gold finish. Can't wait to complete the design.

Back to school next week, and I should be able to get a schedule down with the blog. I missed last week because of everybody going back to college, including my girlfriend. But I can promise that in 2 weeks, there will be another step-by-step guide of a car. 

Peace,

Patrick

PG Car Design - Weekly Update 8/3/2014

This has been a very unproductive week sadly. I have probably taken more naps in this week than in my entire summer. Good thing I finally got up of my lazy ass yesterday and got school supplies for the upcoming fall semester, and started work on a portable USB charger. I got the idea off of instructables.com which is a great DIY technology website.

A similar project

So, fun stuff. Anyway, hopefully next week I'll have a car drawing to show you guys.

Peace,

Patrick
