Let's Begin...
After months of discussion, planning, designing, refining, crafting, and building, we're thrilled to unveil Feras Qartoumy’s next World Time Attack machine: “Snoopy V3.” This isn't just a concept; it's a fully functional track weapon designed to push the boundaries of automotive performance. From our initial encounter at SEMA 2023 to this milestone, the journey has been an incredible manifestation of hard work, focus and dedication. It's the dream we've all aspired to—to push beyond our limits and reach new heights of growth and learning.
Heritage + Functionality
We aimed to preserve the authentic beauty of the C6 Corvette's iconic lines while expanding its potential for Feras's racing ambitions. Lowering the car for improved aerodynamics at high speeds was crucial, leading to modifications in the front bumper, lip, front fenders, side skirts, rear 3/4 panel, diffuser, wing, and uprights. We redesigned wheel arches for maximum suspension clearance, allowing the car to sit 3 inches lower than before, and widened it to enhance track width.

Design Process
In our design discussions, Feras expressed his admiration for the legendary C6R race car, which epitomizes staying true to design DNA while enhancing functionality for racing. Our goal was to honor the C6R's legacy while infusing Feras's personal style (like the side exit twin turbo exhaust). We achieved this by creating new negative space elements, such as removing panels like the rear bumper while retaining the iconic Corvette tail lights. The front bumper underwent iterations to strike a balance between the original design, the iconic C6R, and the wider track width, resulting in a signature MHC final design. We brought everything together in CGI for final renders where we often utilized the power of CGI Backgrounds amazing HDRI's to bring a level of photorealism to the work that is unparalleled.
-
Fun Fact - The C6V3 wing width has increased over 22cm/8.6in from V2 to V3 design.
Negative space
From this perspective, you can observe the negative space carved within the original body lines of the C6. Widening the body naturally elongated its already curvaceous lines, allowing design elements to find their organic form. After setting the design parameters, the build evolved through iterative processes until the final shapes emerged.
-
Fun Fact - The C6V3 body width has increased over 15cm/5.9in to fit the new components / design.
New Oppertunities
This project signifies a new era for us, incorporating a new pipeline and workflow utilizing a wonderful CAD software called Plasticity we were able to achieve perfect CAD surfaces that can go directly to production. While introducing a new tool posed challenges, it unlocked a realm of new opportunities for perfect forms replicable in manufacturing. This is the first of many future builds that will utilize this workflow.
-
Fun Fact - The C6V3 front and rear fender height clearance has increased by 8cm/3in from the stock Z06 giving Feras much more room to run various different track setups. All in the marginal gains!
Our Mission
Our main goal at MHC is to connect and collaborate with those who strive for excellence. This journey is about forging new friendships and partnerships to grow and learn collectively. This project embodies our passion for automotive and design, setting a new trajectory for our growth and development. Alone, we may go faster, but together, we go further.
