REEEEE WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS PEUGEOT

And the worst part is they just keep on pulling this shit
Pic related, fully functional RWD V12 Mercedes SLR-alike. The V12 they used was even made specifically built for this concept and never made an appearance in any other car again.

the Datsun 510 rebirth

I would wear a silver body suit and reflective sunglasses while listening to eurobeat in this.

>French concept car thread

Seriously why do they never go through with their brilliance?

Nice mars rover you got there ford

Car so shiny it increased the number of accidents by 98%. Even at fucking night.

Imagine this thing with an updated version of the C6's suspension.
Truly the ultimate comfybarge.

Why is it so long

I'm guessing to compensate for the lack of headroom. Might have permanently reclined seats.

...

This.

Cadillac Escala

GMC Denali XT Concept

Most recent example: a 500hp hybrid hatchback. This thing would completely murder every other hot hatch on the market and they have a fully functional prototype as well as an example of what it would look like (pic very much related), but they won't build it because it wouldn't be profitable.

...

It even got to prototype stage

OMG it's so kawaii

>2003 Honda HSC Concept

The Honda HSC (Honda/High-performance Sports Concept) is a sports car concept that was initially unveiled at Japan's Tokyo Motor Show in 2003. Most of the automotive media immediately speculated that it was designed to be a replacement for the Honda NSX, although Honda never confirmed it.

The 2003 HSC featured a light weight, mid-mounted aluminum 3.5L V6 VTEC engine, with a 6 speed transmission controlled by either an F1 style paddle shifter on the steering wheel, or a unique dial shifter on the center console. When shifted into reverse, the navigation system's adjustable flat-panel screen in the center console becomes a display for a rear mounted camera. Abundant leather and aluminum trim pieces round out the interior, an all aluminum frame with carbon fiber body panels keep it light, and scissor style doors affirm its supercar status.

The development of this car into the next evolution of NSX appeared to stall for two years. However, the July 2005 announcement by Honda CEO Takeo Fukui indicates the 2003 HSC was only a test concept in the bridge from the existing platform to the next. Fukui revealed the new car will be powered by a Honda Racing F1 Team-inspired V10 and could be ready between 2007-2009.
