    Today on Past Gas, CONCEPT CARS. They’ve always reflected our visions for the automotive future, inspiring and provoking car fans with often impractical designs and features. How do they reflect our greatest hopes, dreams, and failures? What madness fuels the creativity behind these amalgamations of fiberglass, clay, and sheet metal? What company took the idea of the concept car too far? All that and more, on a very futuristic episode of Past Gas.

    Thanks for this podcast, guys. It may not get the attention that Donut Media videos get, but I think that those of us that listen to it really appreciate it. I listen to it while I am at work, detailing cars. Just wanted you guys to know that I appreciate you!

      Why is it so hard to just compliment something these days? The same people, the same work, same banking account, yes it's a podcast in a video platform... But past gas is the second most listened automotive podcast in Spotify so, I guess they are getting quite a lot of attention, no need to fake same pity here, they get even more attention than they can handle I'd say...

    A concept car I like the most is probably the Honda SSM (Honda S2000 concept). It’s not that different from the released version except the lines are of the car are a bit sleeker. And the front head lights are in the bumper (kind of like a big fog light) and different tail lights, they look way better in my opinion. I also love the newer Toyota FT-1 or the Nismo IDX as was mentioned.
    Edit: I also love the Mitsubishi Double Shotz, which I’m not sure was even considered a concept car since I don’t think it was made. I do have the Hot Wheels of it still.

    I think the coolest concept I've ever seen, which I SO wish became a production car, is the Bizzarini Manta, which is this really cool wedge shaped supercar thing, and is center-drive like the McLaren F1. It's so cool looking and I wish they made them, but sadly there was only ever one built and it's probably in a museum some place

    Chrysler did not care if they made money on the Prowler simply breaking even was considered unlikely. The Prowler was, along with the all-plastic Neon, an experimental vehicle testing out even more advanced methods of assembly aluminum and composite bonding. Nearly 900 lbs of the 2,862-lb roadster consist of aluminum--including body, frame, and suspension parts. It was the most significant production effort with aluminum of it's time.

    Also, the GRMN FR Hot Hatch Concept. Designed by the guy responsible for the Lexus LFA, it was basically a RWD Toyota Aygo.
