About as unflattering as the Aero's interior

 

For the interior design they made a contest. This one is the design that won the contest, but there are some interesting proposals:

 

Design contest? What happened to Jason Castriota?

 

Castriota's talents are surely an expensive purchase. Between building a new factory and a new model, I'm sure the funds of a company with 15 cars worth of total sales to its name are getting stretched rather thin.

It's been a while since we've heard or seen anything new from SSC. Personally, I'd like to hear or see literally anything new at this point. I hope they're making some serious progress during this PR silence (or at least doing an interior redesign, I liked nearly all of the other ones posted by Amzamus much better than the one chosen by SSC).

 

Castriota designed the exterior (wiich is the best part by far). You can dislike the Tuatara, but you can't say that isn't a very worked design. The one that SSC announced was the winner of this contest.

Some more.

hmmm... looks like a pick-up truck interior.

 

That seems crazy...they worked with Jason Castriota for the exterior than bastardized the overall design by running a random design contest? Even if he was expensive this is an area that they shouldn't have cut corners...

 

I can't understand why they didn't let Castriota design the interior. Look at the Bertone Mantide interior, one of the cars designed by Castriota.

 

Sensing sarcasm ...I hold the opinion that the interior of the Mantide is "eh", but just because the Mantide interior wasn't great doesn't mean his take on the Tuatara interior wouldn't have been. Lots of people thought the Mantide design was crap, but the Tuatara design seems to have a lot of fans.

I just can't see why they went with a crummy design contest. IF they wanted to go that route why didn't they put it though a well known design school or something more prestigious...Shelby needs your input on their latest supercar Tuatara's interior - GrabCAD $2000 for 1st place...it just looks cheesy...

 

^agreed. not to mention the price tag they're asking for this thing. if i'm not mistaken, they said they already received many orders. i would be shocked if that's true. seems like they don't even have a decent designer or plan.
