Bertone Stratos  (1970)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	1.6L V4
	At just 84cm in height the Bertone Stratos was an incredible if impractical machine. Occupants entered through the opening windscreen and when inside lay virtually horizontal. The Stratos name actually made it through to production but in a totally modified form in the shape of the 1974 Lancia Stratos.

Buick Wildcat  (1985)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	3.8L V6	230bhp

	5.8L V8	920bhp	254mph
	The Callaway Corvette Sledgehammer laid claim to be the world's fastest road car with an amazing top speed of over 254mph! Twin turbos helped kick out a mighty 920bhp for that record run (although it was achieved using racing fuel). A fully road legal version was produced, offering a very attractive alternative to Chevrolet's own ZR1.

Chevrolet Corvette Mako Shark  (1961)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	7.0L V8	400bhp
	The most desirable of all Corvettes, the Mako Shark show car came by it's name thanks to a fishing trip by then GM design boss Bill Mitchell. The car is powered by the legendary 427 cu inch ZL-1 engine which actually appeared in the late 60's but was retro-fitted to the Shark in 1969.

	6.0L V12	850bhp	248mph	2.9sec
	A genuine surprise at the 2004 Detroit auto show, the awesome ME Four-Twelve promises shattering performance from its quad turbo V12. Outputting 850bhp and 850lbft suggest 0-60mph in 2.9sec, a standing qtr in 10.6sec and an unbelievable 248mph top speed! Chrysler insist that production is being seriously considered!

Dodge Copperhead  (1997)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	2.7L V6	220bhp
	The Copperhead, like it's Viper stablemate named after a snake, was Chrysler's concept of a smaller, more nimble sports car. The gorgeous exterior carried over to an equally stunning interior with high quality leather and aluminium switchgear. Despite it's obvious appeal, Chrysler decided not to put the Copperhead into production.

Dome OP2  (1978)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	2.8L		140mph	6.0sec
	Primarily known as a racing company, Dome looked to enter the supercar scene with the OP2 in 1978. Powered by a turbocharged Nissan 2.8L engine, the 1070kg OP2 had lively performance with 60mph arriving in 6 seconds and a standing quarter mile in just 14. However, due to Japanese government red tape, production never materialised.

Ferrari Aurea  (2003)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	4.0L V8	500bhp	202mph	3.9sec
	The Aurea is the brainchild of the DGF design studio in Italy who, with cooperation from Ferrari, have created a simply stunning design.

	6.0L V12	435bhp	170mph	3.8sec
	Named to celebrate Ford's long heritage in the Indy Car race series, the IndyGo road racer used state of the art materials and even an F1 style sequential gearbox. Thought at the time to be too radical for production, similar cars such as the Lotus 340R and Ariel Atom show that the IndyGo concept could have made it.

Ghia Action  (1978)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	V8
	The ultimate expression of 70's 'wedge' styling, Ghia's Action prototype stunned crowds at it's 1978 introduction. The Action featured no less than a Formula 1 race engine, rear mounted over the fully enclosed rear wheels. With the Action, Ford (who owned Ghia) produced one of the most dramatic shapes of the 70's.

Ghia Focus  (1992)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	The extravagant Ghia Focus was a prototype 2 seater convertible based on the chassis of Ford's Escort Cosworth.

	3.5L V6	330bhp		4.5sec
	The striking Honda HSC concept was first revealed at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show as the probable successor to the ageing NSX. The unconventional 'Enzo type' styling divides opinion but the VTEC V6 receives universal praise as one of the finest engines around. Honda are currently swaying towards canceling the project!

Iso Rivolta Varedo  (1972)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	5.7L V8	325bhp
	The Varedo was Iso's attempt to join in the mid-engined supercar craze of the early 70's. The striking Zagato styled bodywork encompassed a mid-mounted 5.7L Ford V8 pumping out a respectable 325bhp. Just the one Varedo was produced due to the demise of the Iso marque following the 1974 oil crisis.

	5.0L V12
	Using a 5 litre BMW powerplant, the Nazca concept was thought by many to be a successor to the BMW M1(also styled by Guigiaro) and could make it all the way to production. Even though that never came to pass, two further evolutions were built. A convertible and a coupe which featured unique gull-wing windows.

Jaguar R Coupe  (2001)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	The stylish R Coupe is set to be the new look for the next generation of Jaguar cars. Although it's a non-runner, the R Coupe features a myriad of attractive interior styling features such as silver plated switchgear, voice activated controls and LED lighting. The look is completed by the use of enormous 21 wheels at the rear.

Jaguar XJ13  (1966)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	5.0L V12	502bhp	180mph
	The beautifully styled XJ13 was first conceived for racing, carrying Jaguar's all new mid mounted V12.

Lamborghini Athon  (1980)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	3.0L V8	252bhp	150mph	6.5sec
	Based on the Lamborghini Urraco, the Bertone styled Athon proved a very popular concept, coming just at the right time to help raise the profile of an ailing Lamborghini. The Athon was a no compromise 2 seater roadster designed to maximise the thrill of open air motoring - there wasn't even provision for a roof!

Lamborghini Bravo  (1974)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	3.0L V8	300bhp	169mph
	The stunning Lamborghini Bravo was based on a shortened Urraco chassis with an uprated 300bhp V8 engine. Styled by Gandini at Bertone, the Bravo was reminicent of a 'baby' Countach with it's squat stance and steep windscreen. Production was seriously considered but was thwarted by the early 70's fuel crisis.

Lamborghini Cala  (1995)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	3.9L V10	400bhp	185mph	5.1sec
	The Ital Design styled Cala was commissioned by Lamborghini as a potential new 'small' car to be sold along side the Diablo. This 2+2 supercar was powered by a newly developed V10 capable of 400bhp. The Cala came very close to production but subsequently the Gallardo took it's place alongside the Murcielago.

Lamborghini Countach Evo  (1987)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	5.2L V12	480bhp	200mph
	Designed as a testbed for future production technology, the lightweight Evoluzione was an exception to the increasingly overweight Countach lineage. A remarkable 500Kg was lopped off the regular Countach's weight, mainly thanks to a full carbon fibre monocoque, resulting in a superb 407bhp/ton power to weight ratio.

Lotus Etna  (1984)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	4.0L V8	350bhp
	Continuing their partnership with Ital Design (stylists of the Esprit), Lotus commissioned the Etna. The car was to be the recipient of Lotus' long overdue V8, with a power output over 350bhp. Alas the project never came to production. Enthusiasts would have to wait another 12 years before the V8 finally arrived in the shape of the Esprit V8.

	3.0L V6	250bhp	155mph	4.9sec
	The stunning Lotus M250 featured an all new mid mounted 3 litre V6 driving through a 6-speed gearbox. With 250bhp on tap the lightweight M250 could get to 60mph in under 5 sec. It was well on it's way to production, and dealers had even taken deposits, when Lotus' parent company put things on hold pending a redesign.

Maserati Birdcage  (2005)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	6.0L V12	800bhp
	Built to celebrate Pininfarina's 75th anniversary, the breathtaking Birdcage concept has echoes of the classic Modulo from the 1970s. Like it's predecessor it is impossibly low at just 1m high, requiring access through an electric canopy roof. Maserati's MC12 supercar provides the basis of the concept, with it's 6.0L V12 tuned to a mighty 800bhp.

Maserati Boomerang  (1972)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	Ital Design based the stunning Boomerang concept on the chassis of the Maserati Bora. At only 106cm high and with a near horizontal windscreen, the Boomerang typified Giugiaro's 'wedge' styling of the period. The Boomerang never made it to production but Giugiaro's other 1972 design, the Lotus Esprit, became a classic.

Mercedes C111  (1970)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	4.8L V8	500bhp	200mph
	With the extraordinary C111, Mercedes set a string of diesel world speed records. The original C111 used a Wankel rotary engine to propel it to 180mph. This was itself eclipsed by the future versions using turbo-diesel engines of up to 500bhp. This gave a top speed of over 200mph and a 12-hour average of over 195mph!

Mercedes F400 Carving  (2002)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	3.2L V6	218bhp	150mph	6.9sec
	The extraordinary Mercedes F400 uses a unique hydraulic system to actually tilt it's wheels by up to 20 degrees. The effect of this camber change is to provide rock solid cornering ability with an impressive lateral acceleration of up to 1.3g. While production has been rejected, the technology may find it's way into future Mercedes.

MG EX-E  (1985)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	3.0L V6	250bhp	170mph	5.0sec
	The EX -E (EXperimental) was designed as a test bed for the Rover group and production was not to be ruled out - though it never arrived. Power was courtesy of the Metro 6R4 rally car engine, detuned from 410bhp to 250bhp for road use, driving all 4 wheels rally style, while the cockpit benefited from a space age digital interior.

Mitsubishi HSR  (1987)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	2.0L 4 Cyl	295bhp	186mph
	Mitsubishi's HSR series began with the mark I in 1987. Designed as a test bed for advanced technologies, the HSR was also undoubtably a supercar with it's 186mph top speed. Further iterations followed on from the mark I, with the latest being the 1995 Mark V with its advanced stability systems and pioneering ground effect tray.

Oldsmobile Aerotech  (1987)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	2.0L		278mph
	In the late 80's the astounding Oldsmobile Aerotech smashed all the existing world speed records.

The enhanced long-tailed version went on to over 278mph!

Peugeot Oxia  (1989)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	2.9L V6	680bhp	205mph
	While many concept cars are just beautifully crafted bodies without an engine, the fantastic Peugeot Oxia had no less than 680bhp squeezed from it's highly tuned V6. The striking in-house designed exterior was complemented by an equally impressive technical spec which included 4wd, 4ws, abs and even solar powered aircon!

Peugeot RC Diamonds  (2002)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	2.2L 4 Cyl	175bhp	145mph	6.0sec
	Peugeot's stylish RC Diamonds concept is a poke in the eye for the diesels can't be fun brigade. A 2.2 litre powerplant delivers a reasonable 175bhp but it's 6 second 0-60mph sprint is mainly thanks to a whopping 295lbft of torque. The RC comes complete with 6 speed sequential shift and ceramic brakes for a true sportscar feel.

Pininfarina 512S  (1970)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	5.0L V12	550bhp	220mph	-
	Based on the powerful Ferrari 512S racer the Pininfarina 512S concept not only looked astonishing but in theory had the power to reach a remarkable 220mph top speed. As with the Modulo of the same year, practicality wasn't an issue. The ultra-flat 512S was intended purely as a styling statement and to that end it certainly succeeded.

Pininfarina Alfa 33/2  (1969)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	2.0L	230bhp	160mph	-
	With a striking design resembling the earlier Pininfarina Ferrari P5, the Pininfarina Alfa 33/2 used an Alfa Romeo 2 litre unit to power it to over 160mph. The 33/2 carried over many of the P5's innovative features such as 'Gull Wing' doors and side air ducts, some of which found their way onto exotic supercars of the early 1970's.

Pininfarina Modulo  (1970)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	5.0L V12	550bhp	220mph	-
	The extraordinary Pininfarina Modulo took the traditional low and wide supercar look to it's absolute extreme. Being just 93 cm high meant that entry was made through a sliding roof canopy. The ultra-futuristic Modulo was not only visually stunning but had the power of a 550bhp racing Ferrari 512S to back it up - all the way to 220mph!

Pininfarina Mythos  (1989)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	5.0L V12	390bhp	180mph	6.1sec
	Ferrari's Testarossa provided the mechanical base for the 1990 Mythos roadster, with it's mid-mounted V12 powering the lightweight concept to 180mph. The smooth carbon fibre bodywork was styled as a an aerodynamic design study, ultimately achieving a superb 0.27 drag coefficient.

Pininfarina P5  (1968)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	3.0L V12	-	199mph	-
	Futuristic even today, in 1968 the Pininfarina P5 was greeted with a reaction normally reserved for UFO's! Styled by Leonardo Fioravanti, the P5 featured exotic design features like 'Gull Wing' doors, slatted air intakes and rear 'Fins'. Power was provided by a mid-mounted Ferrari V12, theoretically capable of almost 200mph.

Pininfarina Rossa  (2000)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	5.5L V12	485bhp	186mph	-

	3.5L V10	800bhp	194mph	2.8sec
	It may look (vaguely) like a standard Espace but that's where any similarity ends! This Espace was powered by no less than a fully blown Williams Formula One engine giving a near 200mph top speed, acceleration to 200kmh in just 7 sec and 2g cornering ability. With space for two, the F1 gave a lucky few the thrill of grand prix motoring.

Renault Laguna  (1990)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	2.0L 4 Cyl	210bhp	150mph	-
	The Laguna roadster signaled Renault's new commitment to concept designs under the then new design chief Patrick Le Quément. The smooth, sweeping body stood under 1 metre high and was powered by the modest 210bhp 2 litre engine from the Renault 21 Turbo.

Rolls Royce 100EX  (2004)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	9.0L V16	-	-	-
	A celebration to mark 100 years of Rolls Royce, the 100EX is also a practical design statement. Along with the folding soft top comes a unique boot top 'teak deck' inspired by luxury yachts. In true RR tradition, no power outputs or performance figures are quoted but we may yet see a production version in the near future.

Sbarro Tiger  (1973)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	6.3L V8	250bhp	162mph	-
	Although mainly known for his superb classic replicas, Franco Sbarro created the striking Tiger 2-seater coupe in collaboration with Panther. Power was courtesy of a 6.3 litre V8, enough to propel the Tiger to over 160mph. The project never saw production but remains a superb example of Sbarro's 70's race car styling.

Trident Iceni  (1998)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	3.2L V6	254bhp	150mph	5.4sec
	The striking Iceni was first shown at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show.

Amongst it's unique features, the Iceni has a reversing camera and twin-removable targa panels that store neatly in the boot.

VW W12  (1997)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	6.0L W12	600bhp	217mph	3.3sec
	First shown as a concept in 1997, the W12 was all set for production (as the 'Nardo') until VW pulled the plug in 2002. This is a sad loss to the supercar world as performance promised to be astounding. The 6 litre W12 engine gave a 500bhp/ton power to weight ratio, enough for 0-60mph in just 3.3sec and a 217mph top speed.

Wolfrace Sonic  (1983)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	2X 3.5L V8	500bhp	185mph	-
	The unbelievable Wolfrace Sonic bore little resemblance to cars as we know them.

The amazing bodywork was constructed in fiberglass producing a drag of just 0.30cf.

Yamaha OX99-11  (1992)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	3.5L V12	400bhp	200mph	4.0sec
	A pure racecar for the road, the 1+1 seater Yamaha OX99-11 was powered by a 400bhp version of the company's V12 Formula One engine! Production was due to start in 1993 but was never realised thanks in part to the lull in the hypercar market and perhaps more significantly to the proposed £1,000,000 price tag!

Zagato Raptor  (1996)	Engine	Power	Speed	0-60
	5.7L V12	500bhp	-	-
	Based around the superb 500bhp Lamborghini V12, the stunning Raptor featured many innovative design features, best of which was the distinctive 'Double Bubble' roof. Considered for production but ultimately dropped, the Raptor nevertheless represented a re-emergence of the famous Zagato name.
