8. Volvo Concept Estate
Hinting to its Swedish roots is the Volvo Concept Estate. The car is, according to Volvo,
“A powerful silhouette of bold proportions, with a vivid, bright and
cosy interior—a nod to the Swedish living room, a place that makes you
feel so comfortable you’re reluctant to leave.” The two-door estate is
the third and final model in a series of concept cars by Volvo. Its
build is similar to Volvos past, but this is a truly modern car. From
high-quality materials to the utilization of Volvo’s Drive-E, Sensus,
and IntelliSafe innovations, this ride is an example of what’s to come
in Volvo’s future.
9. Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4
It should come as no surprise that there are three Lamborghini concept
cars on this list. Basically, all of their cars are dream cars. The
Asterion made an appearance at the 2014 Paris auto show and was one of
the biggest surprises. It features a 602-hp 5.2-liter V-10 engine, has
897 horsepower, and can get from 0 to 62 mph in a three seconds. It’s
top speed is 199 and it comes in the eye-catching Blue Elektra color.
The one trademark Lamborghini trait it’s missing is sharp edges, but
everything else is Lamborghini to a tee.
10. Audi Prologue
As the first concept to debut since Marc Lichte took over at Audi design
in 2014, the Prologue gives a peak as to what’s to come from the brand.
A wide, flat, touch-sensitive organic-LED dash and a twin-turbocharged
4.0-liter V8 are just a couple modern touches. It also boasts an
eight-speed torque converter automatic and has 605 horsepower and 516
lb-ft of torque. Audi claims that the car can get from 0 to 62 mph in
3.7 seconds. The car made it’s debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show
and of the car Lichte says “Audi stands for sportiness, lightweight
design and the quattro permanent all-wheel drive. In the Audi Prologue,
we are expressing this know-how in a new form – we have put the
sportiest car in the luxury segment on wheels. Our team took new
approaches in both exterior and interior design.” the Prologue is
shorter and flatter than today’s A8 but, like all recent Audi vehicles,
has all-wheel steering, making it more stable to drive.
11. Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo
While the opposite is usually the norm, this car is based on one made
for a video game. If you’re an avid gamer then this concept car is
probably your dream car. The car was originally made in digital form for
Gran Truism 6 in its Vision Gran Turismo digital collection and was
brought to life as a concept car to pay tribute to the Chaparral race
cars from decades past. Chevy is just one of the automakers that created
full-size versions of their virtual cars. The Chaparral has a
1.5-second zero to 60 time and can go up to 240 mph.
12. Toyota FT-1
The 2015 Chicago Auto Show gave sports car enthusiasts the chance to
view Toyota’s FT-1 concept car up close. The beautiful opulent graphite
and saddle color combination is just one impressive component of the
vehicle. The muscular body is reminiscent of past Toyota models but
other design elements, like the transparent glass hood, are all new.
Unfortunately, though rumors said otherwise, the concept car did not
come to life in the brand’s Supra model and will have to remain only a
dream for now. Besides, not all specs were figured out. While the
cockpit’s far rearward location was meant to improve weight distribution
and the car seemed technologically advanced, no engine was specified
nor were any horsepower or mph figures.
13. Corvette Stingray Concept
If you remember Sideswipe from
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,
then you know this is what the character transformed into. The Corvette
Stingray Concept was built to celebrate 50 years of the Stingray model.
Some features nod to the original car(like the split rear window), but
it also has unique touches like scissor-style doors, rear view camera
with night vision and a hybrid engine. The car debuted at the 2009
Chicago Auto Show and in 2013, it was announced the concept car would
become a reality with the production of the 2014 Corvette Stingray.
Unfortunately, some of the concept’s features didn’t make the grade and
the 2014 Corvette Stingray is missing the scissor-opening doors and
split rear window among other details.
14. Maserati Birdcage 75th
The Maserati Birdcage 75th, a concept car created and designed by a
Pininfarina design team, was first introduced at the 2005 Geneva Auto
Show. It was named to honor both the classic Maserati Birdcages of the
1960s and Pininfarina’s 75th anniversary. The Birdcage 75th shares
elements with the Maserati MC12 GT1 race car like the engine, for
instance. It’s powered by the Ferrari/Maserati F140 V12 engine which has
been customized for the Birdcage and produces around 700 horsepower.
The six-month production and design process of the car was documented
and created into the film “Sleek Dreams.” If brought to reality, the
driver would have visibility problems and a bit of a tough time getting
in as the car has no doors. Instead, the bubble canopy can be raised for
entrance.

15. Aston Martin AMV10
While the Vanquish concept has come a long way since its AMV8 origins,
this concept car designed by Sabino Design still impresses.The car was
in part inspired by the Jaguar XJ 220 which explains the layout(one that
features a central engine) which is nothing like the AMV 8. This car
features a V10 engine(with 700 hp) which had never been used by Aston
before. The year 2013 marked a century of Aston Martin and so the
Vanquish was born. The recent 2015 Vanquish(AMV12) is equipped with an
AM29 V12 engine, the most powerful GT production engine ever used by
Aston Martin. The 658 hp car that reaches 201 mph and can go fro zero to
sixty in 3.6 seconds is described as a “Super Grand Tourer.”
