Interceptor

This is a car of my own design that I have started modeling from a few sketches that I made. The overall shape of the front is complete and the back and sides are basically nothing yet, so no pics from other views. I call this car the Interceptor ( I am not very good at coming up with car names). I know it needs a lot of tweaking and smoothing. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the comments. Here is a small update for the rear based on one of my sketches. I'm not sure if I like it though, as it looked better on paper than in 3D. The whole concept behind the tail lights is when the turn-signal is on, the lights will flash sequentially from top to bottom. I am also not sure if I want to keep the diffuser or not. All textures are temporary as this is in a sort-of "sketch phase" if you could call it that.

Looks mean as hell to me! My only advice is that the wheels & tyres should move outwards so that the outer edge of the tyres are level with the outer edge of the wheels arches - they look a bit 'tucked in' at the moment. Move them out and it will look even meaner

I appreciate all of your comments and I am glad to see that people like it. It is probably my favorite design that I have done so far. When this car is finnished, I am going to make 2 alternate versions, convertible and a pure racing version. Anyone have any good tips on how to texture tail lights so they look real? I would also like to animate the tail lights, but not sure how to make them look like they are lit up. I have tried putting a light behind the red lens in other projects, but it just didn't look right. Same with the headlights. I'll post more pics as I progress.
