      I want the legendary Lamborghini Marzal. It' is by far the most developed and gorgeous of them all. In fact it almost made production, but Ferrucio Lamborghini said no because he didn't want to make a car where you could see ladies legs, or so the legend goes.
      The rest are just outrageous concepts, and the last one, the Fiat Abarth is all about the engine. It's a PR stunt to make people want to buy regular cars with that engine. nothing more.

  • @stevejordan7275
    @stevejordan7275 3 года назад +2

    I bought a concept car book that includes all of these. Seeing them in FMV is a lot more revealing.
    The Athon seems to devote so much of its engine-to-cockpit volume ratio to the former that it should be able to fly...it almost looks like a flattened, convertible van.
    The Pininfarina looks even sexier than the Scorpio, but it seems to have UI challenges, and it seem to demand that its occupants be good friends. The door really needs to be motorised.
    I had wanted a Stratos since I first saw it in orthogonal stills; it seems driver view may be seriously compromised. How wonderful they put a 17" touch display in it; brilliant!
    Love the silver upholstery in the Marzal. ("The future ain't what it used to be.") Even the dash and console are well-considered and artful!
    The Scorpio body is the very appealing...except for the exposed engine. And the cockpit seems almost primitive ("simple" is probably the description they'd use.)
    All things considered, I'd say I fancy the Pininfarina for myself (followed closely by the Stratos) or the Marzal when I need to bring the family, but every one of them has an ICE engine, and - maybe I've been in an EV too long - they all just sound somewhere between hokey and barbaric.
    And a special shout-out to José De Albuquerque Jr. for pointing out the '72 Maserati Boomerang is prominent in its absence. It looks a lot like a Vector, my dream car.

    These cars are pure art: they show mechanical engineering avantgarde and unique stylistic designes. 50 years ago dind't exist computer modelling and sophisticated equipment to model that shapes. Their function was (and is ) pure exhibition and experimentation of designers. Whoever does not understand this and criticizes non-useful solutions has lost from the start

    Any idea where to look for some sort of yearly schedule of events like that (For europe)? And what was this event called?

    I remember all of these cars in the early 80s when they first came out. I bought a magazine with all of these cars in it . Remember a Citroen with a sort of pyramid shaped roof and wedge look and a Lancia 4 door with a long sleep body.

    Granted, it would be sacrilege to modify these cars in any significant way, but seeing the dated wheels and trims and thinking about more modern stuff makes one think??? Very cool cars, glad they have been so well preserved. That is actually the hardest part.

    Those cars are badass. They sound awsome and I would love to have one of each.

    The Bertone is made from hyper concentrated 80s juice. It's amazing that it actually looks innovative today.
