Fastback for a convertible
Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2011 9:53 pm
One day I was fantasizing about the combination of a Gold convertible and a mk3 coupe. I can't afford both, but I like the shape of the coupe very much. I was thinking about a hardtop that doesn't mimic the softtop but mimics the coupe shape. From a technical point of view there would be problems to solve, but I reckon the end result should be worth it. Realistically I don't see something happening within 5 years or so, so I put the idea to rest. Until I came across the picture below. Apparently in the MX5 scene someone had a similar idea and put the idea to work. They call it a fastback and I think it looks fantastic. Googling around I found other designs and projects by MX5 enthusiasts. Too bad our group isn't that big! Anyway here's something to drool about. Who knows in a year or 10 available for the Gold convertible.
