ITT: underrated concept cars

>>16365069
Concept cars in the earl 2000's were boss. Now you have designs like Lexus and Cadillac with spaceships.

Nissan had a pretty good design for the next z car, desu.

>>16365069

>>16365742

how can you not love that fucking start up noise it makes. ITS A FUCKING JET ENGINE EEEEEEEEEE

>>16365742
But the Eb110 was before the GT90. Camilo Pardo, the GT90 designer, likely saw the EB110 and was influenced by it.

>>16365759
I fail to see how a pleasant sound makes it not ugly

Is Susan Boyle pretty because she can sing well?

Well the engine upgrades were sweet and the suspension upgrades were on point. If the engine lost coolant it would shut off individual cylinders and vent air through them to cool the block. If it got to a stage it could not control the temp anymore it would shut the engine down. Literally couldnt cook the motors.

If only Detroit hadn't forced them to use the New Edge styling things might have gone better.

Honestly I never even knew they had those overheating prevention features, that's pretty cool.

I have a theory that in the late 90s to early 2000s because trucks were selling so well, American car companies let the pickup design teams head all other development and shit up the entire range.

>>16373054
Retro Nastalgic was what lead most of the concepts. That concept was mostly playing with the idea of 50's style windows. The rest of the car is the Charger/Magnum platform.

The Prowler, PT Cruiser, Thunderbird, 2005 Mustang, HHR, SSR were all in the name of retro design.

The chrtysler turbine should also be here of course

Oh shit I had totally forgotten about that one! I remember it showcased in the 90's and thinking it was so dam futuristic and amazing. It was a fully working and functional prototype, and I remember it being showcased in a tv program called "beyond 2000" (amazing show back then). Now THAT car was the future. They even showed that it had totally out there sci if level goes navigation! Yes I'm deliberately exaggerating but in the mid nineties, it was mind blowing.
