Thanks Chipp, that got me closer, but still not the exact view. I tried a few variations on the concept and still no dice - even when zooming way out, you don't get a true profile view. In the example below you can see how I'm still getting some distortion, most noticeably on the inside, surface area of the tires in the main camera view.

As said, this is much closer and could be corrected in post by pathing out the object and eliminating the extra surfaces. I know this isn't Vue's core purpose, but one would think it would be a very simple option to include for when the need arises... I guess e-on is focused on replicating real world camera behaviors and not fakey views like this ;)
