Very well known amongst fans and students of car design already, this site is regarded to be the webs leading automotive design resource. You will find design tutorials, design degree show photo galleries, auto show photo galleries, the latest automotive design news, user galleries, design topic forums and much more. The forum in particular is a useful place to meet other students of design from all over the world and has a high number of users, talking over a wide range of subject matters.

CAR DESIGN ONLINE
For those interested in exploring the subject in a little depth, this site is a very good resource for learning the processes involved in the car design industry. The content (provided by industry experts) is unique to this website and covers a wide range of subjects including design, legislation, production safety and technology. The site also features industry case studies. If you are serious about becoming a car designer then this is a site you should certainly take the time to browse.

CONCEPT CAR
This site is dedicated to the subject of automotive design, with forums, latest news, design feature stories and more. Not as current and as detailed as Car Design News, this site is still worth a visit as you may find news and articles not featured in the more popular Car Design News site. An interesting aspect of this site however is that it offers a free web based E mail service. If you would rather have the more interesting E mail address of @conceptcar.co.uk then take a look.

CAR BODY DESIGN
Another good car design website with up to date design news and features. Here you will find links to tutorials from other websites, design industry news, concept and production car news and photo galleries as well as useful links to other design related resources on the web. There is also a section with 3D models available to download. An interesting element of this site is that is also fully available in an Italian language version.

Aimed at students of car design this site has useful lists of links, as well as a section which shows some of the more interesting concept car press releases from well known automotive manufacturers. The site also features a forum although at the time of writing this does not have many users. Something of note is that the site has in the past run design competitions, the last ending February 2006 with Harold Belker DVD collections as the awards. With sufficient interest perhaps this website could be encouraged to run another competition.

PHOTOCHOPSHOP
Dedicated to the art of modifying car photos in Adobe Photoshop this site has a wealth of information, including a well used forum. You will find galleries of work from other users as well as hundreds of tutorials to learn from.
