AERODYNAMITE
This project is based on an Oldsmobile prototype from the 1980s called the Aerotech. This is the long tail variant of the Aerotech- equipped with a highly modified variant of the Quad-4 engine capable of over 1000hp. In 1987, AJ Foyt piloted the long tail variant of the Aerotech to a speed record of 267 mph, while the short tail variant would go on to set a closed-course speed record of 257 mph.
The focus of this project was simple - challenge myself to make this project as excellent as I possibly could. I wanted to create something elegant - to capture the gorgeous aesthetics of aerotech while turbocharging it with the vibrancy of EAD Labs. I fully modelled the exterior and interior of Aerotech, along with creating liveries and graphics to celebrate the brilliance of Aerotech's design. After 16 months of development, I'm proud to say this is the highest quality project I've ever produced under EAD Labs.

I WAS a Jeff Gordon fan throughout my childhood. I wanted to bring childhood nostalgia to Aerotech and create an interpretation of what the future of nascar could have looked like. Can you tell I'm obsessed with how this livery came out?
