I'm sure you've heard this before, but great design and photoshop skills there guy!

So for the butterfly doors like that (which look just sick!) have you figured out the radius of the swing on opening, and how much clearance they would require (as in how close someone could be parked to you) in order to open the doors.

I swear, they are making parking slots narrower and narrower all the time, and then of course the guy next to you NEVER parks in the middle of her slot, nooooo.. So the main appeal to me of alternative doors (be it butterfly, or a lambo / vertical style) would be if it allowed me to more easily cope with getting into and out of the car in tight parking spaces, or when some jerk has parked right on, or over 'the line' and you have very little room to swing open those long wide MX-3 doors.

umm.. someone please attach a disclaimer to those .psp files stating that the attached images are merely a figment of the artist's imagination and in all likelihood will never be realized on any existing mx-3 (eg. an mx-3 in real life)

"Wow, that escalated quickly! I saw Brick kill a guy!"

I love lamp. Hey Illapino, tell me that wasn't your MX-3 on the MADD float in the Victoria Christmas Parade! Just kidding.. Did you see that though? I was watching with my girlfriend and I think she almost started crying seeing an MX-3 smashed up like that. .

Ironic that someone hit my car within two days...

I really like the results of the effort put into the butterfly concept, and would love to see more ideas come to pixelized life.

good fukkcing god.
i'd buy that any day!
but it's no longer an mx3.
i'd call that an mx9
rx9?

seems like it has two slimline-6 engines located in the rear
or are they dual slimline-rotary engines?

or is that an mx9 with the veilside C9 widebody conversion?

i feel confused and constipated at the same time

I agree with illapino, the ride is juat amazing, it's just so modified you can't see the mx3 anymore. It's awesome tho, u should design one and have someone mod their mx3 based on your design, that'd be awesome.
