Default Azarashi Vaykal Bodyshell for X6

This looks a bit tasty

There are elements I like about it.. it kind of reminds me of the JC highflow at the front. why can't they just copy that body and make room for the transmission?

Ii like it! Looks like a mixture between the RB-5/B4 Azarashi and the AC S2 body. Defo a nice replacement for the original X-6 shell.

do you really think so?

it's just another generic japanese shell - no good points about that shell at all in my mind - other than it's not stuck on my car!

I happen to like generic japanese.

Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. I think it looks less bulky than the original shell and like the cockpit being a little further forward.

Looks a lot better than the standard hungry-hippo style..

Might prompt jc to revamp the current one

Body looks OK to me, but it will certainly reduce the downforce. Wing is just anemic and I think I've seen it before, as though they saved money by using one they already have.

I think you'll be surprised at how much this changes the car. Might be for the good...

Our shells are made with aerodynamics first, looks second. Nobody cares what the car looks like when you're holding the big trophy.

I think it makes the car look a lot sleaker and better lines, yes it looks like a 501X cockpit and an RB5 side, but is that a bad thing?? As for the wing.... well I am sure you don't have to run the one that comes with the shell now.... do you lol.

I for one would hanker after that and an X6, but I do really think the X6 shell isn't exactly pretty.

I like that to. Although with all those little pockets designed to create a wake it ought to create downforce just in a different place to the X factory shell. Have to agree with chazz on the wing though, it aint gonna do much.

Click on picture 3. You can see the wing better there.

The rear wing just seems all wrong to me, IMHO the best aero feature on the X-6 is the stock rear wing. The one in this pic is also waaaay to far back with no way of bringing it forward really.

As DCM says though, you don't have to run that wing. That shell with the stock wing will work great.

I think this shell could do a lot for the sales of the X-6

I like it a lot (agree with the comments about the wing though) I may have to try and see if we can source some of these and get some in if possible...............

I love it, I agree that the original x6 shell is 'orrible, and that this may help boost interest in the X6 to a degree. It is possibly generic in terms of surface language (sorry, designer talk here), but I love the positioning at height of the cabin, and that the rear doesn't look like a duck-billed platipus like on standard X6. The rear also reminds me a little (just a little) of the yoke YZ10 / 91 92 etc shell, my all time fave.
