A hell of alot more to come. Post up, bros.

Surprised this thread hasn't happened before. Great idea for a thread!

I looooove that 4-door Ferrari concept. Stunning!

*Ahem*

Close enough...

Audi Shark

Renault Megane Trophy II - I had never heard of this until today. It looks like a spaceship.

 

[Prosthetic]

It looks awesomenesserr.

 

[boiltheocean]

It looks awesomenesserr.

Agreed.

On another note.
Isn't the KTM already in production?

 

[Beerz]

Man, the Audi Shark and the Megane are really, really, really great. 👍


Here's some:

BMW NAZCA (by Italdesign):

BMW M1 Concept:

BMW Z9 Concept:

[Leonidae]

Peugeot Oxia

 

[Prosthetic]

The M1 concept is so effing ugly.

What?

Close, but this one differs. See, it doesn't have to be something you'd actually wanna see go into production. Just posting images of concepts, be it whatever form, that you like and want others to see.

Cool thread, though.

What?

I'm guessing he disagrees with you. Alot. I also dislike the design. It's an eye-soar, IMO.

 

[Jim Prower]

My favorite, not because it's particularly fast, or exotic, but because of it's obscurity...

The Checker Ghia.

Only one ever built, and, yes, it is still on the road today. A shame: there might still be a Checker Motors today if this guy got into production.

or maybe not.

 

[Tommi]

The Rinspeed Bedouin, one of my most favourite concept cars:

One of the reasons why I love Audi's, the awesome concept cars. Too many favourites to post now.

RSQ

Nero

HERE is a pretty cool poster that goes with this car.

Avus

R8 V12 TDI Le Mans

Some superb pieces of design in this thread so far:tup:

 

[Prosthetic]

The Rinspeed and Nero are awesome! The front of the Rinspeed is odd, but a few line changes can make it look a little better.

True 👍

Though perhaps a moderator could merge the threads? As they both do have similar subjects and it saves many of the same cars being posted in two different threads 👍

E'go Revolt. Upcoming Russian Coach Build for the Mitsubishi 3000GT, that will supposedly come with a twin turbo V6, busting out 550 HP

Design wise, it is quite the hansom car.

One of my Personal Favourites:

1938 Phantom Corsair

With a height of only 147 cm (58 in.), the steel and aluminum body had no running boards, fenders or door handles. Instead, the doors could be opened using buttons located on the outside and on the instrument panel. To match the advanced design, Heinz chose the most advanced chassis available in the United States at that time, the Cord 810. The V8 engine-equipped Cord also featured front wheel drive and an electrically operated four-speed gearbox, as well as a fully independent suspension and adjustable shock absorbers. To accommodate the large body, various changes were carried through on the chassis. The car's lower frame was made of chromoly steel and the upper frame was constructed of electrically welded aviation steel tubing. Power for the 2-ton / 4500 lb. (2000 kg) Phantom Corsair came from a modified Cord 810 Lycoming 8-cylinder unit, supercharged to produce about 190 hp.

1965 Corvette Mako Shark II

Maybach Excellero

That really is a very nice looking concept. I found some more pictures of it either a scaled-down model or CG renderings. It has some similar styling cues as the Maserati 3200GT. The original sketches look far better IMO.

 

[Prosthetic]

I need to see more angles... But it looks like from the side that they kind of just stopped designing when they got to the rear. The rims are ugly and don't seem to fit with the car right... The wheel wells are huuuuge. I know its a concept but a few things are to exaggerated at parts. The drawing is a million times better looking.

 

[Jetboy.]

Agreed, the rear's "soft" design elements clash horridly with the sharp front angular design. 👎

Nissan Mid-4

 

[Jim Prower]

were there two of those? the one at top is significantly different from that at bottom.

 

[Leonidae]

I think there was Mk1 and Mk2 prototype.

Ferrari 621 Scaglietti Shooting Brake by Vandenbrink

It reminds me very much of a Corvette Shooting Brake design I did for a GTPlanet Photoshop comp years and years ago!

 

[homeforsummer]

Much prettier than the normal Scag. Reminds me of how good the 456 estate that Pininfarina produced for the Sultan of Brunei looked. Or perhaps the Ferrari Daytona station wagon...

Anyway, as most of you probably know, I'm a big fan of small cars and retro stuff. So a retro small car is right up my street... Such as the Suzuki LC concept from 2005:
