SeaLion 2009 design update

After several months with thinking and rethinking, still not absolutly satisfied with all the lines and surfaces of the SeaLion design, I started to redesign my 3-wheeler design, once again.

First the engine was moved 5 cm backwards, as was the rear wheel. Then the front end body was made even lower, about 3 cm down.

The front lights is now small and narrow enough to fit behind a 4 cm wide slit on each side of the front. The lowest light surface edge is 45 cm off the ground. Just the legal limit.

The windshield and dashboard was moved 1 cm down.

The rear lights is 4 cm high. There are now two rows of LEDs. The extended wheelbase, up from 210 cm to 215 cm, made room for a more pointed rear end style. Now it is nearly a classic boat-tail. I like it.

The only part I didn't change from the 2008 design update was the front spoiler.

More images.

And when will I build it? Soon. I hope.
