Asymmetrical concept models were extremely common ...It enabled a choice of styling proposals to be displayed...You can find photos of them throughout the industry. It saved money and allowed management a quick comparison to judge the final version....A pity this was never built...the C3 Corvette chassis would have worked perfect as a base ...
@@stevenandrews1012 I knew asymetrical was common. See other comment re: Jeffries' Manta Ray custom, Ed Roth Orbitron, and Rod & Custom Dream Rod/Hot Wheels Python.
I'm going to have to reevaluate my opinion of Vauxhall cars after seeing this and the previous video posted here. This is a nice, clean and sporty design without being too over-the-top. That said, I don't see much in the way of stylistic asymmetry in the photos shown. If so, the effect is so subtle that it's hardly worth mentioning. As a sidebar, about the only production car with an asymmetrical design that I can think of was the AMC Pacer, where the right-hand (passenger's) door was slightly longer than the left-hand (driver's) door, to allow easier access to the back seats from the curb. Going to Junior High and High School during the 1970's, I saw plenty of Pacers, but it wasn't until I got the AMT kit to build that I actually saw this feature . . . .

Look at door shut lines on both sides. Stop the video @1:30 and 1:35. As for the back. Stop the video @1:05. You can clearly see the RHS comes down sharper than the LHS does and the RHS has a definite bump above the wheel. Plus, at the same time, look at the rear of the car and the difference between the left and right. And... If you're still having problems, see an optician 🤔😲 ☺👍

@thezanzibarbarian5729 Just had my exam. Didn't get the new glasses yet, but I was looking at a phone screen and not a larger monitor. Probably if a photo of both sides- One image reversed but one pictured above it so a photo comparing both sides but facing the same direction, that would make the differences clearer. Without a true side by side comparison...Well that's not my vision being bad, that's more a memory test. Truly asymetrical is the Dean Jeffries "Manta Ray" which was built on an old Maserati Grand Prix race chassis or the Rod & Custom "Dream Rod" which was modified multiple times to become most familiar as the MATTEL Hot Wheels car, Python ( originally called Cheetah but had to be changed due to copywright issues. ) Guess my memory is pretty good afterall. Thanks for the help though.
Would have been nice to show a comparison of the left and the right side. But I guess this is too much to ask for today's video creators. Just get it over with in the title, that's what gets the views.
Focusing on asymmetrical design unveils the fact you didn't nail the overall concept of the prototype. It was juast two proposal in one piece. Quite a common practice. A poor youtube reel.
Tell that to the designers of the Porsche 911. All they do is roll out of bed long enough to change a couple details and they’re good for another year or two. Then it’s back to bed. Or spend the rest of the day drinking.

Looks like fusion of a VW SP2 and a Corvette C3.
Gorgeous 🤩

Wasn´t there another Vauxhall GT Concept car that you covered recently?
Before about him, I didn't make a video.
NOT an asymmetrical design. Most styling models are done with different proposals on each side.
Look at door shut lines on both sides. Stop the video @1:30 and 1:35.
As for the back. Stop the video @1:05. You can clearly see the RHS comes down sharper than the LHS does and the RHS has a definite bump above the wheel.
Plus, at the same time, look at the rear of the car and the difference between the left and right.

That's the point of this clay,@@thezanzibarbarian5729. It's been made like this specifically, to compare two different sets of styling ideas.
I like it.
Isso é o Puma GT... brasileiro!
While the front and the back are distinct I don't see anything "asymetical" left from right side.

#7 makes #2 look like a go kart 😂
I spy the influence of the Ferrari Daytona in this mock up ...
Strange

Why are all these in German now. They have been like that since the beginning of December?
Have you checked the language settings?
Cópia do SP2
So many words, but nothing said

Anything Vauxhall made since GM was involved is rubbish
A kid could draw this…

Thanks for the video, Retro. 🙂
Thank you.
