ITT: Things that should have been in serial production but never were

performance gm cars

wot m8

Sweet sweet V16

Reminds me of the Caddy XLR, that corvette rebadge that no one bought

Because someone thought it was a good idea to put northstars in them

LS-swap XLR when?

Perhaps, but there's 12 years between them and the R8 had a dedicated concept to it.

came

Canadian here, I see a disproportionate number of those vehicles driving around Toronto. Maybe they shipped them all north and sold for peanuts?

I actually have a die cast of this car...

back half is galladromode

A friend of mine is an audi salesman and gifted me some of these models.

Not that I'd complain about gifts but it's always Revell and their shit tier quality annoys me a little.

Ford Shelby GR-1

more or less a Daytona concept

I used to have a matchbox peugeot quasar
must have had 100s of toy cars through my childhood and I don't have a single one left :(

This motherfucker right here

second generation Pontiac Fiero

Ferrari Zenyatta

...

that things curves are all messed up

fucking disgusting.

Pure bauhaus metal.

>1999

Excepting those horrid wheels it's much much better looking than that VW shit.

fuck Ferrari for killing this

doing it right

doing it wrong

that dash

Damn that looks fucking cool. Like a German muscle car.

It looks like a mazda 3 of current gen.

Isn't BMW already working on a new 8 series car?

That has never been produced. Fuck off.

...

Every day cars with GTP styling.

Common it is the fucking future, we were all supposed to be driving cars that look like this to work.

tfw no gf

Was that thing longitudinal or transverse AWD? Also, how come they didn't use their staple inline five turbo?

Now if they would just make a second gen XLR based on the C7, and stick with the damn LT1 or LT4...

legend of the galactic heroes has some interesting cars
lots of self driving ones in the city and some cuv for rural areas

Peugeot concepts are best concepts.
>ITB
>V12
>Velocity stacks
HNNNNNG

8 series is making a cumback, according to the rumormill.

You may just get your wish.

>tfw you will never, ever have a quad 4 powered Corvette killer made by the very company that GM wouldn't let make an actual sports car

please have a V12 pleasepleaseplease

I still don't get why they didn't

The most expensive 7er has a V8.

I doubt an M8 will have anything bigger than a V10, if it's even given a V10 at all. It'll probably have the M5/6 V8 with slightly more powah.

well, i mean the old 8 has the 7s engines, didn't it? and thins should be their flagship coupe, so there might be a chanse

also, i just looked up the new 760 and realized its the fastest accelerating car they sell, even more than the M3 and M5. wtf

It'll go something like this:
>The new 8 series comes out and it's gorgeous
>They make a BMW M8 with a RWD N74 V12 >600hp, 590 ftlbs stock, so probably ~650-700hp after modifications
>Alpina goes to town: 850 hp

>and then they make a Gran Coupe
*vomits externally*

A V12 7er (the 760) is currently in production, and will be in showrooms in 2017.

>A V12 7er (the 760) is currently in production
Shit son, you're right.

Will we get a true M7 then? The one you speak of is a baby M like the 1/2 series 35i

...you are implying the GC and not the Alpina thing is bad, right?

This is actually pretty. Damn prettier than tt and r8. Even by today design standarts this looks good.

...

>Headlights split in the middle
Worst design ever desu
That one Nissan (juke?) Is the ugliest car ever literally JUST of cars

My brother, just wait for a few more time.

Holden Coupe 60 Concept

Chevy pls

...

Not true M7 I think. It'd be vulgar.

Of course I am.

>tfw the cheapest modern Porsche is a fucking SUV
>tfw no every man's kawaii desu Porsche
Gawd, I wish they produced pic related and sold it for slightly less than the Boxster as an homage to the 914 and a potential competitor against the Fiat Spider and the MX5. What a wasted opportunity.

Also side exhausts.

The 907 will continue making me salty till the end of time, the concept was actually roadworthy and had a whole lot of miles. But no, can't have cool things because fuck you

wow thats sexy rear lihts

No speedometer?

Also, I'm 90% sure that if Aston gets to borrow Mercedes engines and chassis, so could Peugeot. With minimal startup costs, they'd have one hell of a flagship. Restrict it to 500 units per year so you don't hurt Merc/Aston sales, done.

Also speaking of Peugeot concepts, can't forget this thing
>twin turbo V6 lifted from a Group C racer, 670 HP at over 8000 RPM
>AWD and four wheel steering
>top speed actually clocked at 217 mph
>never went past concept stage because lel Peugeot

My all time favorite BMW concept. I should go see it some time...

>tfw pillarless design will never be a thing again outside of concepts because muh safety

Rover R30

>supposed to be new Rover compact car to be launched in 1999-2000,looked crisp as fuck
>modern looking,no retro auntie grille bollocks
>slight delays reach the point when BMW suddenly disowns Rover,buying up the project
>use it to finally create the 1 series which they have been trying for 99 years
>it's abandoned somewhere in BMW's ceiling,probably close to where 's m8 is
>Rover tries to recreate this on a 75 platform,fails all the time,never gets launched

Quite a shame tee bee age

Nah it was mostly a design study/concept

There was supposed to be however a new Sonett that didn't get launched because bankruptcy

Peugeot are more than capable of making a powerful engine/chassis given the rally cars, le mans winners and f1 engines they've built.

Audi group S rally prototype

The version that killed Corvettes was the LQ1 powered V6 prototypes making ~280 HP. Quad 4 cars would've still put up a nice fight though.
Pic related. Engine bay of the V6 powered 1990 prototype.

...

I've always wanted a CEL Miata.

The Saturn SL3 was supposed to be a first gen SL with the SC front end. It was referenced in the SL owners manual. The end result would've been a sedan with pop-up lights.

...

>that saab where the ass was fat
Unf.

>still godawful saturn shitbox

"no"

I love those crazy Peugeot concept cars but who would honestly buy a supercar made by Peugeot?

That looks like an even uglier SLR.

>who would honestly buy a supercar made by Peugeot?

someone with taste?

Pillarless is possibly if you get real engineers and not shitty amerifat ones. Also it helps if it's not a company like GM

my waifu

Why not build exactly like this?

I have an 850CSi and it's already fucking quick, an M8 would have been mental

mustang concepts are always a thing of beauty

>Gran Turismo

Nice accord coupe

...

At least they actually built it unlike the Elmiraj

>mid mounted 3.5 V6 from 350Z
>in a small hatchback

Bread in engine bay, NOW.

>killing

It's a one off car based on a Ferrari F430.

>nothing to add

one of the best looking concept cars of all time imho. gud taste senpai

It was going to enter limited production, but Ferrari refused to provide any of the parts required

>angry lights
>melted body lines
>useless spoiler
a bit of 2016 in the 90s. That car was ahead of it's time.
