Gran Turismo Styling Plans
Granulite has been attempting to solidify the image they want for their new car, the Turismo. The car will be the first of what Gran hopes will be a new image for the company. While it is true that Gran has always focused on strength in its models, the new car will be in direct competition with the Venom M41, released last summer.
To strengthen the idea of competition, the Turismo will be racing on a base that rivals that of the M41. The Meshbase 4 in question contains more weight in its sides than any of the others in production during the winter session, and also holds the same damping mechanism and fragmented backbone found on the famous NASA-owned Cheetah High Voltage AWE.
Gran has already decided on the muscle car format for the Turismo, but there are still options on the construction. They have decided that the car will most likely be a light orange, or tan, printed from the computer to eliminate streaks caused by markers.
Also, Gran wants to tackle the problem of strength in the panels of a car. They plan to have the styling done primarily with cardboard, reinforced where necessary with mesh-sticks. For the most part, no panels will go over anything except their exact shapes in cardboard. This idea will become clearer when Gran releases photos of the Turismo's construction.
Expect up-to-date information and photos on the construction of the Gran Turismo. Granulite plans to upload photos of many stages of the car as well as the original drawing of the model.
