And some action shots. ��

 

Looking good!

 

Man, those wheels look phenomenal. Very jealous!

Great looking car

 

 

Got her all cleaned up and she wanted a photo shoot.

 

wow. Mike that paint looks incredible.. Nice job in cleaning that beautiful beast!!. That red looks AMAZING... Wish mine looked that good and it's 2 years newer...

 

Thanks! Zaino All In One Cleaner/Polish, then an electric wheel. Also nice morning light, and a great camera (Canon 5D Mark iii), and some editing in Lightroom.

 

seeing this photoshoot made me think of this:

 

Heres a couple of my car that my daughter took for me. She's an amateur photographer but think she has a great eye.

 

What can I say, she wanted another photo shoot.

In the bowels of Detroit.

 

Was at my Jag dealership and they told me about this Project 7 sitting in the shop. SWEEEEEEEET ride!!!!

 

amazing

 

so what is the hump for and why not balance it on the passenger side ?

 

See pictures of the D-type for the answer...

You forgot one:

 

I still haven't found an explanation for the "hump," although I know the most famous racing D-Types sprouted a tail fin behind the hump which contributed to aerodynamic stability.

The only thing I can think of is that the hump alone served the purpose of roll-over protection for the driver.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_D-Type

 

The hump can substantially reduce the the aerodynamic forces on the driver's helmet, thereby reducing neck fatigue.

 

Historically the hump served a few purposes:

• For the D-type race vintage it was part of a larger fin design which gave the car better aerodynamics and yaw stability. See this article.
  
  
  
• Other models didn't feature the fin but still featured the hump because it helps reduce turbulent flow (i.e. help promote laminar flow) behind the helmet for open-top cars, which in turn reduces drag:
  
  Smooth contoured surfaces reduce turbulent air flow after the windshield and helmet

With the Project 7 it's very likely that the hump is there as a design nod rather than functional design.

 

Thanks. I figured the hump was more of a design nod to the D-Type, and that it was the fin + hump which provided the greatest aero benefit.

 

Also the concept for Project 7 didn't have a passenger seat, just a shelf for the helmet. So the one hump design flows much better and didn't have the extra roll-bar. I'm glad they kept the feature in even though they had to compromise a bit for safety and functionality.
