From the Nissan Technical Center in Atsugi Japan, here's a special program on the design process, specifically focusing on the clay modeling aspect of new vehicle design.

All this time and energy...

To model a rolling purse.

Interesting article. My first thought was to wonder if those designers were on something and had just come from a Picasso exhibit when they clay molded the Juke's exterior...

Pete Brock from Brock Racing Enterprise (BRE) wrote an interesting editorial about the lost art of clay modeling in Classic Motorsports magazine last year. It's a good read as he still uses clay to flesh out race car designs even today.
