Pontiac Fiero 2+2 concept
When customers complained about the normal 2 seater Fiero being a bit impractical (no really?), Pontiac thought about releasing this hideous 2+2 variant with a back seat... I'm glad they didn't.
>>15002786
At least it's around now. Hopefully they rebuild the others as well. Would be really amazing to have them all around.

Chevrolet Turbo Titan III
"GT-308 prototype gas turbine engine that produced 280 hp at 35,000 rpm"
>>15002885
Speaking of turbine cars. How much fuel did they chew through, back then?
>>15002761

Not sure for the turbo titan, Ford's Big Red got 2.1 mpg and made 700hp

Toyota EX-III

September 22, 1940, the second version of the GL-1 became the quickest car of the Soviet Union when it sat an All-Union speed record of 161.9 kph

Well, it's not a kei car if it's 1.6 liters. It's just a small car.

They broke physics. I want it.
>>15003414
That 4000 RPM is obviously a typo. It's completely unrealistic without a turbo and it doesn't add up with the torque number.
>>15003194

You're right with the typo. I just got the info from some random concept car site but now I've been doing a bit more research and it turns out it made 250 hp @ 7000RPM

>Based on the Lada 2108 model, VFTS built a Group B special. This was a rear wheel drive sports car with the engine of 300 hp. Several prototypes had been built and funds were allocated for constructing the 200 homologation copies, but the project never happened because of the cessation of Group B at the end of 1986.

You can tell a portuguese guy translate that.

What he means is that UMM supplies the Portuguese army and police forces.

The car that never was.
1. Take a Nissan Evalia
2. Remove every single safety feature
3. Sell it for 1k less than the Nissan
4. ???
5. Profit

That was a Ghia designed Checker car. Yes that Checker
>>15006981
Was Hino an independent car company at one time?
>>15005825
Too soon
>>15003070
It remained the fastest car in the Soviet Union until the fall of the Berlin Wall.
>>15007069
not really, they made some small commercial vehicles in 1910 but that was before the Hino name was arround, then during WW2 they made tanks and after that they started making rebadged Renaults

Long before the turbine, Chrysler experimented with radial-engined cars.

Actually, Mercedes didn't like the idea of using a FF platform to build an FR car. That's what killed it.
It was going to debut using a RWD variant of the LH platform, which was designed from the start to accommodate RWD (which is why the engines are longitudinally mounted instead of transverse).
Mercedes made them redesign the entire platform from scratch using off-the-shelf Mercedes parts, which is what became the 2005-2010 Charger.
>>15009505
Some of the prototypes were pretty wild.
Probably one of my favorite concepts due to the fact that it was actually quite nicely done and would've been well ahead of its time.

>looks pretty damn nice for a mid 2000s car
I really wish they'd chosen to go with something like an inline 4 or a V6 for the engine, though - from what I've read they shot themselves in the foot trying to get such a small displacement V10 to meet all their requirements.
>>15010492
>>300HP 2.0L DOHC Supercharged V10
Sounds cool but
whut the fuck, was the engine just a gimmick?
>>15010492
That car a shit

basically its a mazda 6
I don't have a picture because there's nothing left of it but a guy I know claims he owned a 1983 model year Corvette. It burned up when his house caught fire and the firefighters wouldn't allow him to get it and a silver anniversary Corvette out of his garage. Conspiracy?
>>15010993
iPorsche.
>>15011290
I would have cried and cried and cried.
>>15011290
The only 1983 Corvettes were all prototypes owned by GM and all were destroyed as pre-production prototypes and mules usually are.
I call BS and pathological lier.
>>15006551
No, they actually produced a concept car. A day back there was a thread about it stating the Toyota design studio in Australia did it.
>>15006119
Japan's Stirling Moss.

Wut? A delivery van by brabus?
>>15007004
Fucking kek...what the fuck
>>15009546
Most amazing and innovative concept cars that were ever produced were from the US. Most of them went down the road when someone outside from the US involved in it.
>>15011786
it's a Dacia Logan with a hatchback but as you can see in the picture, only the bottom part opens up because a hatchback would be too useful.
>>15011779
oh yes, have an AMG
