The battlecruiser Simulatron

A quick CAD model I did for fun... the idea is to bring the racing experience not just for the driver, but also for the passenger. HUD glass screens provide the driver information, while auxillary screens provide the passenger basic information about the vehicle, like its current speed, rpm or bhp. the idea is to provide the sensation that the passenger is not a normal passenger, but a co-pilot. The fins that suspend the HUD glass screens are inspired by the fins of the car. the dashboard is a sleek and smooth design, that houses a screen in the middle, that provides navigation and/or other vital information about the car. the central console below the dash is a touchscreen that allows the driver to control all vital functions. on the dash, just in front of the central screen, is a row of lights, that on and off in different sequences, depending on their programmed feature (gear change, starting engine, rpm limit indicator, fuel guage, etc). there are also indicator lights just behind the steering wheel. The holes behind the dash central screen (ventilation holes) and the door panel design are inspired by the patterned holes found on the exterior of the car.
