Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

I thought that thing was a one-off? Very MK1 Capri roofline looking from the front.

It is a one off, and most would argue for good reason.

Saab 99 "Blue Spirit", one of many custom Saabs built by Leif Mellberg:

I'm absolutely positive I've seen that Sokol.... and frankly the photos make it look better....

[outlaw118]

seems like exactly the sort of thing @barrett would know about  

[Supernaut]

Looks loosely inspired by a Shelby King Cobra thingy. There's one in Forza Horizon 4 that's a very similar shape.

[JeeExEll]

A Brasinca Uirapuru.

I'm pretty sure I've never said those words before.

Well, maybe that night with the mushrooms . . . .

[chaseracer]

Some Glas/BMW influence there...?

Or a shrunken mutant Studebaker Avanti...

 

EDIT: No. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasinca_Uirapuru

Dallas Grandin.  Could be a keeper:- XUD engine, galvanised chassis, plastic body (according to wiki myth)

I did not know that there was a Pug 505 coupe concept. If they had built it, I might have transferred my ovlov 780 lust on to this objet de désir...

Fiat x1/23 concept

This website is utterly superb (albeit a real throwback) and I could spend hours on it, but here is a highlight:

Horizon Sherlock which had loads of cheap wood fittings and tweed seats, as well as Sherlock decals in the rear quarter. Mental. 

[HMC]

Plus also please note a Sherlock deer stalker type hat perched on the front seat. Is there also a pipe holder? CLASS

Wait till you see the Lonsdale Poirot...

[Inspiral_Mondays]

Spotted today in a traffic jam near Stuttgart, a new one on me, a Lada Vesta. Looks reasonable from a distance, looks totally crap up close.

I'm sure that these were for auction a few years ago at Classic LeMans.

Stunning, want. Think it made it into production though, maybe not a big seller.

No not that Imp. Note it's cooled by a very 50's 'turbine blower' (no it's not just a fan) and also note it's 'adequate brakes'. The third paragraph sounds a bit sarcastic to me, almost as if the designer and president isn't to be believed.

More info here - https://www.undiscoveredclassics.com/forgotten-fiberglass/presenting-the-imp-lost-fiberglass-car-from-the-1940s/ this website could provide enough material to fill several pages of this thread,

They weren't that confident about it with the 30day / 1,000 mile guarantee!

They had these in Gran Turismo, number 4 I think. Very revvy engine.

Going by the driving I see in American dash cam videos, that must be a scary place to be

Russia seems that way from the amount of dashcam clips on You Tube from there.

Presumably a side-project from members of short-lived but superb postpunk band Delta 5?

Was I the only person hoping to see a 6 wheeler when the name popped up?
