Which woman inspired the GT86/FR-S/BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

danthedirt · 07-29-2012, 06:43 AM

I'm quoting a recent article on jaloponik.com
http://m.jalopnik.com/5929543/the-ne...by-halle-berry
They asked the designer of the new Viper what inspired the design, his answer was simple: "Halle Berry."
When another person asked why the curvy 2013 Viper looks "bent in the middle," he replied, "Have you looked at a woman laying on the beach sideways?"

Which reminded me of a quote from the latest Transformers movie when one of the characters compares a classic car to a women,
"Look at the curves, elegant isn't it. Beautiful. Sensual. Built to evoke the body of the ideal woman.

Which lead me to think which woman could I compare to my FRS?
I came up with Kim Kardashian.
Boo. I know, but hear me out.

They are both short and have a low center of balance.
They both have expensive taste. (91 octane)
Both have curves for days.
They are both fun to ride
Not sure why they are famous (Scion branded)
They both look fancy from the outside,
But on the inside they're both cheap and simple.
And lets not forget about DAT ASS.

So which woman do you think inspired your car?

Its a small, petite, light car, it cant be Kim Karduchian. Maybe more like Millla Kunis.

Kimsey47 · 07-29-2012, 01:07 PM

BRZ = Mrs. Kunis with a 'stache... Or I'd prefer to refer to the BRZ 'stache as a "landing strip" if it was her!

The car is asian and sporty.

Synack · 07-29-2012, 01:27 PM

Hayden Panettiere

Exactly what is the OP trying to achieve with this thread? The FR-S was inspired by other car designs, which in turn were inspired by organic and inorganic forms in nature. To explain it in terms of a single person is simple-minded reductionism. Who is to say that the curve of the FR-S's flanks was not inspired by the curve of a male baseball player's bicep, or the shape of a snail's tail, or the backside of a breaking wave? Not all designs are derived from the influence of celebrities on horny teenagers.

OP is allowing us to have fun this morning. Don't be a party poopmaster.

Say hello to the human version of my car.

Should've just named this thread FAP FAP FAP

I find this question a little odd, sense I don't want to bang my car. It is a machine...and sense Ceylons aren't real yet it's a moved point!

Will one of you techno-philes p-shop Gawain's girl hurdling an FRS over the roof? Asphalt, if you please! (or whichever color contrasts the background well)
