Man Who “Can’t Draw,” has “No Design Experience” Creates Stunning Supercar for “Suicide Squad” Movie

Earlier we posted that Ironhead Studio got zero credit for creating costumes for Batman v. Superman. Will Matt McEntegart get any credit for creating the Joker’s supercar for Suicide Squad, the next movie in the D.C. Universe?

What’s amazing is that the car didn’t come with the six-figure price tag you’d expect. That’s actually an Infiniti G35 wrapped in an $11,000 fiberglass body kit and a $3,000 interior designed and created by McEntegart. (Those are the stock prices, anyway; no word on what he charged the studio.) Even more amazingly, McEntegart explains, “I can’t draw, I have no design experience, so I just shaped it out of foam.”

McEntegart’s company, Vaydor Exotics, is a Florida-based outfit that uses pros from the marine industry (i.e. guys who know fiberglass) to produce the eponymous kits. Here’s a look at how they tear the original car down to get it ready for the graft:

You’ll notice that there are shots of McEntegart and team crafting the parts, but no footage of them doing actual assembly. That’s because, interestingly enough, they only sell the kits and do not build the cars.

Anyways, those of you in ID school now, particularly you Transportation Design majors, know you won’t get much credit for not being able to draw. But it is interesting to see that McEntegert was able to ovecome that deficiency in the model shop. He might not have the drawing capability, but he’s certainly got the eye for 3D and the hands for carving.
