Cizeta Moroder V16T Prototype, 1988. First presented at the Los Angeles Auto show, the product of a joint venture between some ex-Lamborghini employees, composer Giorgio Moroder (pictured with the car) and Marcello Gandini. The engine is based on the Lamborghini Urraco’s 90° DOHC flat-plane V8 and comprised 2 banks of cylinders arranged in a V configuration with 2 cylinder heads per bank. The resulting engine has 64 valves, 8 overhead camshafts and produced 540hp. Production in Italy started in 1991 and moved to California in 1995 but in total only 13 cars were made

Audi TT Shooting Brake Concept – 2005 

Voor de lancering van de tweede generatie had Audi dan weer deze conceptcar met grote koffer gebouwd, die de meeste stijlelementen van de productieversie meekreeg, maar dan in een andere vorm. Met een 3,2 liter-VR6 van 250 pk en 343 Nm was deze shooting brake in staat om in 6 seconden van 0 tot 100 km/u te sprinten! Jammer dat deze variant nooit het productiestadium heeft gehaald...

Colani RS racing prototype, 1965. I posted recently about the Colani New RS, this was the first one. There were plans for microcar maker Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugbau GmbH  to produce the race car as a follow-up to their successful Porsche 904, using a VW chassis and modified engine. However Heinkel withdrew to concentrate of manufacturing military vehicles and the project didn’t process beyond the prototype

Ferrari GTB/4, 1974, by Colani. There was only ever one but it was resprayed red. Luigi Colani (1928-2019), was a German industrial designer and aerodynamicist who designed and redesigned vehicles of all types since the early 50s. This was his “aerodynamically enhanced” Ferrari Daytona

Lamborghini Sogna, 1991, by Art & Tech. Designed and built by Ryoji Yamazaki’s design studio, the Sogna was based on the Countach and was to be made in limited numbers but only the prototype was ever built

Kan je oudere prototypes of concept cars eigenlijk ook privé kopen ?  Ik heb daar al wel es aan gedacht om zoiets in de living te zetten ipv de MX5, en nu ik dit topic zie moet ik eraan denken ... vb de Lancia Fulvia van midden jaren 90, dat is eentje toen wij hem zagen dat we direct gezegd hebben "die kopen we als ik ie uitkomt" maar hij is er nooit gekomen.  Ik heb hem ergens in een museum zien staan (dacht Italie) maar er zijn er waarschijnlijk ook genoeg andere die gewoon ergens in een loods staan te verkommeren ?

Citroën heeft een tijd geleden een deel van hun museum-stock verkocht

Amerikaanse proto's kan je kopen als ze niet verschroot zijn geweest. Europese, moet je echt al goeie relaties hebben en afspraken maken dat het merk vruchtgebruik mag hebben. En dan zijn er nog landen die moeilijk doen owv heritage. De Bertone collectie die een paar jaar terug geveild is mag bijv. Italië niet verlaten. Dus om gemakkelijk op uw vraag te antwoorden, nee.

Ford Bearcat Prototype, 1967. A mid-engined supercar concept that would have capitalised on Ford’s track success with the GT40. However the project was abandoned as Ford built a relationship with De Tomaso who were using Ford engines and whose mid-engined Pantera ended up being sold through Lincoln Mercury showrooms.

Seat Proto C, 1990, by Italdesign. Volkswagen Group chairman Thomas Schäfer has said “The future of Seat is Cupra” at the IAA Munich Motor show. Seat cars will disappear as they come to the end of their model lives. Cupra has become Europe’s fastest growing auto brand, most of the Cupra range are high performance versions of Seat’s cars and SUVs. The Proto C was an aerodynamic compact concept (Cd 0.25 and 4m long) that influenced Seat’s styling in the 1990s and beyond though it never made it into production. Seat is an abbreviation of Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo and was established in 1950, initially building Fiat cars under license in Spain before being taken over by Volkswagen in the 1980s. The brand will not disappear completely but will no longer be used on cars

Buick Avista

In 2016, Buick revealed something stunning. A two-door coupe designed by Ed Welburn, based on the Camaro's Alpha platform with a 400-hp twin-turbo V-6 and looks that hark back to great Buick concepts of the past. We hoped it'd see the light of day, but it was just a design study to generate hype.
