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

The Coloni S1 Alfa Romeo 156.

The 164 Procar is still superior, though.

Here's the GM Pegasus, basically a Pontiac Firebird with a V12 from the Ferrari Daytona gifted by Enzo himself. Saw this on Jay Leno's Garage the other day.

That has to be the greatest muscle car of all time.

Frua E-Type.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ Huh? What!?

-> That Frua is more like a US-spec E-Type built to cater to the killjoys of USDOT, NHTSA, IIHS, Consumer Reports, CARB, & Ralph Nader.

-> Only thing missing now is chopping that excellent I6 into a I3 with a catalytic converter big enough replacing the spare tire with similar can and makes less than 30hp.

-> Heck even the Series III is more attractive.

1979 Vauxhall Equus

I've got a feeling that it was the last Vauxhall designed car, untl the VX Lightning of 2003.

And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out it was the reason.

You're absolutely correct.

This is absolutely awesome.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Never seen this set of pictures before.

 

[Heldenzeit]

One of the sultan's cars must have escaped again.

That picture looked extremely New Zealand esque... the plate on the 612, the Captivas and Qashqais, unmistakable. Intrigued with no results backwards image searching, I resorted to searching up the business in the background, "Suits In Broadway" - and was taken to a place in Newmarket Auckland, Continental Ferrari.

Confirming it was indeed in New Zealand, I searched up any links with the Bentley Buccaneer in New Zealand and was brought to an Instagram page:





tl;dr I have no life.

Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio, made in tribute, to the very same Sergio Pininfarina that passed away back in July 2012. One of the many other concepts that was made for only very few people. Only 6 were made and given, and used the NA V8 engine of the 458 Special.

Still goes to show Pininfarina knows how to make cars, concepts or not. I would of wanted this personally.

They added a windscreen on the production models. They look great IMO.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Heard y'all like pixels. This is the Bentley Grand Prix. Built for the Sultan of course.

Stunning--sort of a modern R-Type.

^ Um Neddo, you forgot to name this car.

 

[TexRex]

Maintenance is where they get ya...

"After 17 hours at $130 an hour, we've managed to disconnect all of the blue hoses. Another 43 hours and we'll be able to address the noisy belts."

isn't it obvious?

 

[Fastcarguy]

isn't it obvious?

All I see is a generic supercar with Jaguar plastered onto it. What is it?

 

[TheCracker]

It's the still-born Jaguar C-X75 (i think?) - but yeah, some captioning wouldn't have gone a miss. Most of us will have forgotten about this by now, especially as none of the picture clearly show the car as a whole.

It's CX75 prototype.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is something really really special. I read about this car a long time ago in a magazine and the thing that captured me was an immage of it. The black and white picture suggested that it had been taken when the car originally was built but the car itself was computer-rendered.
Back to the current day, walking through the Bologna Motor Show I walked by a freshly restaurated body jacked up without wheels nor drivetrain. Many people didn't really pay much attention to it, and so did i at first. But then it came all back to me whilst reading the specsheet next to it.
May I present to you the 1948 Ferrari 166 MM Panoramica Zagato:

This, chassis 0018M, marks the first collaboration between Ferrari and Zagato. It was commisioned by Antonio Stagnoli and competed as a coupè until 1950, when it was rebodied as a Spyder. And so this amazing alloy-body complete with curved Plexiglas windows had to make space for something more normal. By the 1960's the car was left to collect dust and rot somewhere in France, where it was last reported in 1999. Until now. Sadly there was nobody around to ask for further informations about it.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Never knew about this one. Kinda odd looking.

Never knew about this one. Kinda odd looking.

The front actually looks quite normal for a 166, the greenhouse is the section that might be odd. Zagato, having worked in the aviation sector, wanted to create an open area with a lot of visibility whilst still protecting the driver from the elements.
