The first sketch of the Reuben Zammit X3 Concept had different sides and the roof was still the same height as the original.The front end is still very similar to the model being built.The latest side sketch incorporates heat outlets for the engine in the gull wing door.The back end was shortened from the bottomend and lengthened from the top.
A reversing camera is incorporated replacing the back window.
The roof has been redesigned to suit the new lines. The doors are part of the roof since the idea is to have a gull wing style door that opens most of the sides to increase accessibility to the cockpit. The structure of these gull wing doorsactually stiffens the chassis since they act as a roll cage. I wanted to keep the use of the original windscreen to keep
the vehicle production cost low and still keep the car road legal. The solution was to tilt the screen backwards hence
lowering the roof.
