Does anyone know anything about this healey? Its so modified I imagine it is a kit but I wasnt aware of a 100 kit.

If it is not a kit, i'd love to find more pix and the fender vents, hood and exhaust look fantastic.

Thanks.

It's a CGI 3D model: https://www.3dartistonline.com/image/14113/austin_healey_1004_v8

Looks like Batman would drive it. Pretty cool to my eyes.

i like it. Im not an enthusiast or purest. I like those fender openings much more then the triangular ones and was toying with the idea of running my exhaust out that way even before I found this rendering.

The low fender openings would allow water and dirt kicked up by the front tires to run out instead of collect between the fender and sill. That's why Healeys get that characteristic front fender corrosion there. They wouldn't do much for cooling the engine compartment, though.

Running the exhaust out below the front fender doesn't leave much room for muffler(s).

Looks like what a 2015 model could be. I like the swag line and the exhaust headers dumping out and are capped before the muffler. Im wondering if thats a tribute to old school racers that "cork" and "uncork" the car with a simple plate for racing?

Those pipes look like Supertrapp mufflers to me like on this V8 Healey:

An artist doesn't have to be confined by the bounds of reality and I'm not convinced they'd fit under the chassis rails or leave any ground clearance if they were installed under the fenders.

Not a bad rendering, but I prefer the looks of an Austin Healey.

This might have been the inspiration for the CGI model:
