Pheonix Aurora

The Pheonix Aurora is the culmination of the Aurora legacy. The Pheonix is a disguised version of the Aurora that is used for the final race of the game. It was a difficult challenge because it had to look like the Aurora to the player, but be unrecognizable to the characters in the game. I ended up completely redesigning the rear while only slightly upgrading the front. I wanted the shorten the nostrils (grill) while broadening the chin of the front to give it a more brutish look from the Aurora. The lights were also placed on the bottom of the car. The rear, which was inspired by more modern cars had to be big enough to fit some special cargo for the finale of the race. I gave the rear of the Pheonix big fenders to give the appearance of shoulders, like on a lioness crouching while stalking a prey. Overall I feel the final design reflects the more powerful feeling that I was trying to convey over the original Aurora.
