Concept cars you wished went into production

I wonder how much the Carbon Fibre body cost Rover? A lot of car for £35k.

I wish Alfa had made the Brera properly and not watered it down.
The concept for that was awesome

The original Jaguar XJ220 with the 6 litre twin turbo V12 and AWD would have been EPIC. Shame they downsized it.

Best pic I can find of it:

I'm not so sure 'downsized' is the right word considering that the replacement engine - a 3.5l Twin turbo 6R4 engine with 570bhp - was epic. It's just that the car was originally supposed to have a V12, and this put off the original interested parties as it's quite a change - bit of a snobbish viewpoint from them I think.

I saw this thread and had to post this baby!

Citroen Survolt Concept 2010

EDIT: I posted reduced size photos earlier but it didn't have the same effect as the full res!!

Honda, you were onto a good thing here with the NSX replacement in my eyes

 

[starfighter]

Some nice looking stuff here. A new NSX. We can dream but with Nissan having a supercar maybe it is justifiable now?

pure awesomeness, didn't they make a white one of these?

handling is rubish

It's a concept car, they are mostly built for looks not how they run, that's for when they are put into production mostly

The Ford GT-90 concept was horrid to drive, and didn't go much above 40 iirc.

Dodge Copperhead/Concept Car!

TVR Speed 12 would have been awesome. It didn't make it to production, so it should count. Those that did get driven were concept cars weren't they? Looked awful to drive though

You and Gaiijin win the thread! Honda HSV, please Honda, put it into production!


Quite a cool car imo:

Suzuki Kizashi saloon, looks nice but quite boring compared to the rest of the stuff posted

 

[trentlad]

The Mazda Shinari

 

[dalin80]

The closest we will get to most of those is in GT5 but then again you have to deal with the japanese love fest.

Would love a SV to hoon around in around the ring.

The saddest part is its not a concept car, its a production road car that they chose not to bother selling, they were granted special dispensation to use it in racing on the basis that its 100% finished and they could put it on sale tomorrow if they wanted but they have chosen not to as they believe that the is no market for it and it would not be economically viable

 

[Fr0dders]

The italdesign Cala

Stunning car imo

 

[ArtificialFoxx]

Old but yum...

Chevrolet Corvair Monza GT

 

[6thElement]

GT-90

 

[soundb0y]

In my drunk opinion in the op, the bmw looks like a corvette, the chrysler looks like a lambo, the holden looks like an old merc, the gt-90 looks like a veyron and the mazda looks like a zonda.

Love the looks of the SV btw.
