Cars you wish made it to production?pic related, a Ford competitor to the Viper.

>>28116247The only thing I don't like about that concept is the doors. They were the style at the time but holy shit it would've been such a cool car if Ford made it. Do you think when automakers even get to the steps of making a physical car you can sit in and put a "fake" engine in it just to drive for a couple of press events think>this car is too fucking cool>we'll sell too many of them despite insane dealership markups>lets just scrap the whole project. Why doesn't anyone make cool cars anymore?
>>28116517>No, we can't make a compact pontiac liftback, it'll never sell>30 years later the BRZ sells to every guy wanting a cheap but fun and modifiable car.
VAG MR2

>>28116530>>28116531It's a Boxster you fucking moron.
>>28116539>wrong
>>28116512This... And picrel.
>>28116512they made those. the caddivette
>>28116585The XLR was nowhere near a 4-door extra luxo-barge.
Oh Jaguar, what might have been
I might as well add some of the pictures from that other similar thread.There were also rumors of a Mazda RX-7 successor being developed around this time too, but boomers had to fuck up the economy.
>>28116509What do you not like about the doors? I find they're the best part of that design. It's the grille that I don't like. Should be an egg-crate design like their Mark X concept.
>>28116749Looks like a luxury version of Ford's Interceptor Concept.
>>28116749Butterfly doors are really stupid and have no bearing on the design to the original Shelby Daytona.
>>28116768Oh I'm retarded and read your post wrong. I thought you meant the Continental's doors.
We could've had a 70s NSX if it wasn't for the oil crisis.
>>28116767That's the worst executed concept I've ever seen.
>>28116512>Cadillac_16>>28116577Honestly, why the fuck didn't they go into production?>durr the engine's too complex and expensive!Okay, put a supercharged LS into it instead.You don't even need that for the ME412, it's using a Mercedes engine already in production AND in a supercar!
any of the mid engine corvettes
>>28119187yup, it's need for speed 2 time
>>28116599That was always a scam, anon.
>>28116509>Why doesn't anyone make cool cars anymore?Bean counters cannot into known unknowns
>>28116749>It's the grille that I don't like.It was the Lincoln design language at the time. They were trying to evoke history from even further back of the Lincoln Zephyr V12. Of course by that point the only people who would make the connection were dead and dying Greatest Generation but that just further reinforces the image of clueless suits being in charge.
>>28116577I'll never forgive Daimler for what they've done.

>>28119209>Supercharged LSIt's a Chrysler you fucking retard.
