Urbee Photos by Mrs. McFarlane

Mrs. McFarlane (a misses of one of the Urbee Team members - YES ENGINEERS CAN MARRY!) offered to do some photos of the Urbee model for us. We needed help with marketing the Urbee Car project. Its hard to draw up interest with only drawings and CAD renderings. People like to see, touch and eventually test drive a car before they buy it or invest in it. Its the second or third largest expense in someones life and Warren Buffet says that a car company may be the worst investment to put your money into.

You most certainly would want to see a car before you buy it. Companies like Ferrari and Lamborghini their word is gold platinum and can get interest (read as money) before the first bolt is brought to the assembly line and their cars put into production. Companies like Ferrari and Lamborghini have a history of delivering on what they promise. Their market is ready to buy the product before its built. Imagine having a business and knowing your market is ready to buy your product.

A couple of reviews would be nice to see as well. We still don't have a running prototype that you can drive. There is an amazing amount of paperwork, travel and interviews we are doing to build interest in the project. All this takes away from actually turning a wrench and doing something to build the car.

The chassis is currently hanging from the roof of the shop waiting for the body panels to be mounted. Having seen the 3D printed scale model of the Urbee Mrs. McFarlane thought that there was something here that could work in a photo and give people a better idea of what we are building. A photo is a seed to spark the imagination. And WOW did she do a fantastic job for us.

Mrs. McFarlane the pictures are AWESOME!

Thank you very much!!

From The Whole Urbee Team :D






Used for the photos is Urbee scale model (as seen on CNN) which was printed for us by Stratsys. The CAD files used to make the scale model are the exact same files used to 3D print the full scale body panels which we are mounting on the chassis now. The model was assembled and painted by David Bernhard Design.
