The study was created by Austrian independent artist Michael Leonhard.
The design takes inspiration from the Road Runners of the years '71 and '72 and adds modernized and futuristic shapes, while keeping the character of the original car. The typical muscle car stance is enhanced by the wheels - 20 inches at the front, 22 inches at the rear.
The powetrain could adopt a 5.7 up to 7.0 liter engine coupled with six-speed manual or automatic gearboxes.
Below we report Michael Leonhard's description of the design process.
"The front looks dramatic and mean thanks to a headlight section made of tinted glass. Headlights only become visible when they are turned on.
"The same goes for the Roadrunner Logo in the center that is now illuminated. The big grille opening provides plenty of air for the radiator. The hemi-powered monster gets rid of hot air the other way round through the typical hood scoops.
"The side view is characterized by a dramatically dynamic shape with a low roof line, high belt line, square-molded wheel-arches and big magnesium five spoke wheels (22 inch rear, 20 inch front) combined with red line tires.
The powerful looks continue on the rear with a big diffusor for improved road grip and a dual exhaust system.
"The taillights are styled to match the headlights and become visible when turned on. To a big part the roof is made of glass except the A-pillars made of aluminium.
The C-pillar becomes a dominating design element on the roof section and carries the typical interrupted Roadrunner grafics. The color of choice for the body is Curious Yellow and Triple Black."
