That is a real interesting comment Chris.

So, in theory you can create those images (and more) with your fantastic design imagination and then run an advert something like,

“ Brand new custom design and build sports purpose road/race car from a well known small bespoke British company with a team drawn from the F1 stable including engineers and manufacturing experts which has resulted in the fabulous Meteor Jury Special, a V8 super car with performance and handling to match the very best anywhere in the world. Hand built in very limited numbers in the UK with delivery expected from February 2024. With a deposit of only £100000 (limited to the first ten clients worldwide) you can begin to customize your Meteor with our design studio colleagues to make it simply a unique automotive masterpiece”.

Take a million quid in deposits and then disappear? I thought the parameters of Ai was to be investigated and maybe regulated before launch? How will we know what’s real or not without you telling us? I’m sure a few on here were already thinking ‘what is that car and I wonder how much they are and where to get one’.

Regards
Mike

Ps. I really like the design Chris. So often cars looks great from the front or the back or the side but that looks great from both angles.

It looked so 'perfect' to my 60's-70s eye it was too good to be true/real.

Looks great mind.
Ant Anstead's take on something similar was also convincing, but as 2 were made, real !

Valid points Mike, yeah I am sure someone could do that.....maybe "delights" was the wrong choice of word from myside. I am only using the tools to make pretty pictures, that's all I can do.....How others choose to exploit it is up to them.

But, I do have plenty more of these "what if" 60's - 70's pretty pictures. I get to play at being a car designer for an evening :)


Cheers
Chris
