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

[Heldenzeit]

Aston Vantage 6.3 sedan. Looks good actually!

The Jiotto Caspita a.k.a. "That Cool Car from Sega GT2002"

 

[LivingWithGames]

Surprised no one put this car for the thread. Perhaps the fact is didn't make it in the streets. Well, extremely few of them made it, until production stopped, since assuming from my POV of google images, a few managed to use this car.

Those who played GT1 and GT2, should regonize this. God I always wished I had this car irl after I saw it in the GT games, but since it didn't make it far enough, it was good only for games. Just like the Phaeton.

^ Would you want me to add this debacle?

 

[LivingWithGames]

Yes, quite aware of that clash between Chrysler and Dodge: the fight of the copyrighted names.

Good thing my game has the new dodge rather than dodge so, yey.

 

[MoLiEG]

Ohhh... the Cooperhead/Concept Car...



After all these years it still gives me teh feels that I couldn't get it in GT1 (the normal one, I did have the purple/yellow one and the grey one in GT2)...

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ Come on, the Purple Eggplant is awesome/amazing! Makes me forget the original easily!

Many of us think of the Ferrari FF as the first AWD Ferrari, but in the 80's there was this:

The Ferrari 408 4RM

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ Whats the red Ferrari on the left of the 4RM?

^ Whats the red Ferrari on the left of the 4RM?

Could be the same car

 

[Wiegert]

The red prototype had drop-down headlight flaps (a uncommon feature even for a concept), active rear wing and in one shot it's even sporting a pair of hood vents. The yellow one had a front splitter as well as more conventional head and tail lights. Nothing more than few minor cosmetic and aerodynamic differences.

I knew I saw that car somewhere

Daimler Eight Torque Plage

XJR Estate

Daimler looks like the XJR but in a Grand Coupe form

 

[Heldenzeit]

Now I know where BMW got the idea haha.

 

[JR98]

Now I know where BMW got the idea haha.

Practically stole Daimlers' idea and put it in production

 

[Legro]

Daimler's idea

Called Mercedes Benz CLS.

 

[JR98]

Called the Mercedes Benz CLS.

Oh, forgot Daimler owned Mercedes

 

[Legro]

Oh, forgot Daimler owned Mercedes

There are two Daimlers, German Daimler and British Daimler.

 

[JR98]

There are two Daimlers, German Daimler and British Daimler.

I think I originally was commenting on British Daimler. I'm pretty sure German Daimler owns Mercedes

 

[Heldenzeit]

Bentley Continental Flying Star bodied by Touring just parked at the shops.

Continental GTZ by Zagato.

Rolls Phantom EWB by Mutec

Bentley Buccaneer, made for the Sultan.

Rolls Silver Seraph Estate.

Rolls Majestic.

Phantom modified with Bentley Continental headlights built for a customer that didn't like the square headlights.

 

[Cano]

:0 those are awesome! More info about the Zagato?

 

[Heldenzeit]

1 of 9 coachbuilt, 2 are RHD, built off the base Continental GT. Total cost about 850,000 GBP, all hand beaten aluminum panels.

 

[Cano]

Drool. Which I never thought I'd say about any Bentley made after 1940.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Some of the coachbuilds done for the Sultan are pretty attractive IMO. I'll see if I can dig up some of the lesser known ones. The Buccaneer is too funky.

EDIT: Did you also notice the rear spats on the green car?

 

[Cano]

EDIT: Did you also notice the rear spats on the green car?

Yes. Still drool. Also, the Majestic.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I've been on a quest for coachwork Bentleys/Rolls for the last few days haha. Here's the Bentley Rapier.

And what is assumed to be the Bentley Spectre.

Ferrari FX, based on the 512TR with an early Williams paddle shift gearbox.
