Cool, Awesome & Amazing Custom/One-off/Prototype Cars

Has he done any Mazdas?

Quick google search came up with this Mazda Le Mans concept from 1983.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

That reminds me of the Veilside Supra Fortune and Callaway Camaro C8.

1950 Ferrari 166 MM/212 Export `Uovo` by Carrozzeria Fontana

I love the massive diffuser. As if a GTO/Stealth needs any help sticking to the ground.

Four thousand pounds of downforce and also just regular force.

 

[VXR]

Probably one of his tamer creations, based on the Dodge Stealth.

It's the cheap Christmas Cracker version of a Colani, based on his genuinely oddball creations seen above.

Looks like a kids toy.

Looks like a kids toy.

Looks pretty snazzy for something from 1950 IMHO.

A 408 Intergrale

Hmmm....F45

Hmmm....F45

How the F50 should've looked.

Enzo test mule > F50 test mule.

Pontiac Aztek > LaFerrari test mule...

As far as special custom's go, Zagato is without a shadow of a doubt my favourite coach builder of them all. They've produced some awesome one-off's, and seem to be a dab hand at making special Aston Martin's

One of my personal favourite Aston Martin one-off's is the DB9 Zagato Cenntennial , which I'd say I prefer over the standard DB9

Or maybe the Spyder version takes your fancy:

Believe it or not, in the early 70s I had one of these as a toy:

I only found out today that the Buick Century Cruiser was a real prototype in 1969:

Which is cool.

On the topic of GM concepts, how about Oldsmobile's Golden Rocket of 1956?

I've loved that grill from the moment I first saw it.

I know I've posted it before (unsure if it was here or elsewhere), but the Impala also bowed in 1956.

Would you believe they used a Corvette as early inspiration?

 

[axletramp]

They certainly liked their cars like their bras back in the 50s!

350bhp supercharged Type R, RWD, LSD... yours for just over £20k.

What? How is that so cheap?

 

[Castrol96]

Is this real or some kinda render...?

V8 Vantage 2017 LEAKED!!?

Here's some Test Mule pics.

Here's some Test Mule pics.

Top two pics are of the Fisker Thunderbolt (which I'm sure ended in some kind of legal drama).

Let me guess, because it looked too much like a Aston.

Looks better than the DB11 IMO.

Actually, Fisker and AM came to an agreement and Fisker canned the project because of it.

A Lamborghini LM002 Estate, made for the one and only Sultan of Brunei.


Also owned by the Sultan was the 1993 Aston-Martin Lagonda Vignale Concept.

Wow this thread has died...

Here are some interesting W126 designs that were never put into production.

 

[Inferno251]

The shape almost reminds me of this:

Or any of the Stormtrooper helmets from the Clone Wars

I think Mercedes could produce that as a step below the AMG GT. Maybe give it 300- 350 HP and a manual transmission and a base price around $70,000.

If Mercedes-AMG becomes daring enough to reincarnate the W111, I have one priority. It must retain a rotary engine, like the original. It doesn't need to be extraordinarily powerful or nimble; it just needs to be rotary powered to impress me.

For a specialty car like that, I think a mere $70,000 is unrealistic. I'm sure the cost would be north of $100,000, but who knows.

Mate, the rotary engine is dead. Mercedes won't be able to profit from such project if I'm honest.

I know the one in the second pic is still knocking around but does anyone know if the others are?
