To celebrate the first anniversary of my Porsche 911, I show you the same as I did with the Veyron some months ago: a timeline of car development.
The design time for this car was specially long, because the car is very very complex and I needed some time to build others MOC as the Lizard 8x8 or huge Bridge-layer (not presented here) to keep mi head clear.
The design of this car started after finish the Veyron.
Initially the idea of building a second car so fast it was only for one reason: use in it all the mechanisms developed for the Veyron but I couldn't use, however some time after it was much more than that ...
Also if you look closely you can see things never show before...
