Looks like a 1970s Hot Wheels creation made real!

 

Rather fab!

Chrissakes, seems you need a nod to the past in every concept car these days.

Car designers have got much lazier in recent times I think. Where are all the iconic cars and original ideas? Unique cars like the Avantime deserve much more respect than all the re-hashed retro pap churned out in recent years.

It's very striking (in a good way!) although the likelyhood of it making production looking anything like that are rather slim I fancy.

Not surprising really when 99% of modern production cars are identically HIDEOUS!!

And there was me expecting news of a new North/South trunk road.................

Now those wheels remind me of something ...

Sorry....I thought a deliberately misleading title might lead to more curiosity for people to view the thread!

I'm loving the BMW M1. It's radically different from anything you'd see on the road now and for the next few years. I deeply want them to make it.. after, they change that hideously large exhaust at the rear. Looks like a tunnel or a tipped over grey bin.As for the Audi.. wow, so boring. A bigger grille, some chrome freely drawn lines and some stickers? It seems like it's just been made to look more angry, and somehow that's more special.Loving Marty's hot wheels motor too!

Loving Marty's hot wheels motor too!

That's actually the most expensive of the lot! http://www.gizmag.com/diamond-encrusted-hot-wheels-car/8826/

I want to say that I hate it now (the hotwheels diamond car) but I still like it. However I liked it more when i thought it was glittery paint or holographic glittery stickers
