Best Concept Car (2008)

[fisetdavid26]

Nominate the concept car(s) you like the most.

Any car nominated has to have been introduced at any motor shows, as long as the event occurred in 2008.

Challenger SRT10. It's not as radical as the Furai, but I actually want to own one, so...

[fisetdavid26]

Well I haven't nominated any cars yet in any of my threads, so I'll get the ball rolling: Mazda Furai and Lamborghini Estoque.


Ferrari Scuderia 16m
It's intended for production though. 499 of them.


thanks for the thread DF go habs go baby
No problems :)

And oh yes, Go Habs Go. Tomorrow against the Trashers shall be a walk in the park :cool:

so it can't be intended for production then?? what about the panamera and to a lesser degree the estoque, they're both going to see production in all likelihood, but i would consider both of them concepts until they have actually been produced. Best concept should mean any car that has been shown but is not currently in production. That would be simpler and lead to less arguing over whats going to be produced and what won't.
I also nominate the Millechille

And yes we are going to dominate tonight, i hope your voting for an all Habs all-star game as we speak as well

The Estoque will make it to production, however as of 2008 it is still a concept. The Panamera will enter production in 2009, and the 430 16M is already in production, so it isn't a concept.

I vote daily, looking good for an all-Habs starting roster so far :)

my bad i just realized that they unveiled it as a production model so never mind

im voting now but Crosby and Malkin are catching up to Tanguay, i think the rest of the NHL may have figured out how to vote:(
to have an all Habs starting lineup in the All-Star game in Montreal, for the 100th anniversary would be in a word, perfect

[henk4]

Citroen GT

Yeah, definitely couldn't be better :)

Blind faith in Citroen?

You're nearing 20k you know.

[NSXType-R]

Honda Insight Concept.

[teatako]

Mazda Furai.

[Auxin]

Citroen GT and Mazda Furai, remember, we are talking concept cars here.

[Knuto]

Fisker Karma and BMW M1 Hommage

[Rockefella]

It's easier to run these when people only nominate 1 car, but this should work out o.k.

Edit: Lamborghini Estoque.

[digitalcraft]

P.s. there is a site:

Past and Future Concept and Prototype Vehicles | Conceptcarz.com (http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/concepts.aspx)

That has specifically concept cars if you need to browse around to figure out which you like best.

[wwgkd]

That site reminds me of another one I wanted to see built from 2008, the R8 V12 TDI.

[digitalcraft]

I really do like the Mazda Furai concept, I think its neat, but I think I'm not going to go with it, even though I wouldn't mind it winning.

I'm going to have to split mine though because these two are so different its hard to compare:

I want to vote for:
2008 Jeep Renegade Concept - Images, Specifications and Information (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/3490/Jeep-Renegade-Concept.html)

Which looks like the most fun vehicle ever, totally badass, good looking, and whats more it has electric drive at all 4 wheels for some really impressive offroad power.

And secondly, I've never been a big fan of Holden, but this car does car right:
2008 Holden Coupe 60 Concept - Images, Specifications and Information (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/3626/Holden-Coupe-60-Concept.html)

I like it because it's not some wild concept, its something you could imagine seeing on the street and it would look badass.

The Renegade was just a green version of the greatest Jeep concept ever, the Hurricane. 670hp and 4 wheel steering ftw:

BMW Concept CS.

But if that's a 2007 put me down for the Lambo Estoque.

Yes and no. That vehicle is definitely awesome, but this is actually hybrid electric, not dual hemi. I'm guessing the chassis is very similar though.

[wwgkd]

Yeah, that'd be my guess. I guess I'd just prefer the option of the dual Hemis (with unique setup of MDS) and trick steering, plus larger tires. Hybrid electric is cool, but not as cool for me. Unless it's a cummins electric, that is. I'd sell my cousin for that.

Mazda Furai, no question. 2008 Mazda Furai Concept - Images, Specifications and Information (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/3515/Mazda-Furai-Concept.html)

I agree.

[digitalcraft]

Remember this is nominations, not voting, so it doesn't really help to nominate the same car thirty times. :)

[fisetdavid26]

You say that but it may be useful. As stated I can only include 15 cars per poll, if, say, 19 cars are nominated here I have a problem. But I can remove some nominations based on how many people nominated a car.

[digitalcraft]

Maybe instead of doing polls, have people vote by comment? That way you could have more.

Of course, then someone has to count. :P

Maybe take however many you have, split by the number of polls you need, and have a vote-off? :P I just see an issue with something like the JP mass production, there's quite a few good ones there.

Yeah. It will probably end up with multiple voting and run-off threads.

[f6fhellcat13]

I'm with W.
Furai

[clutch-monkey]

mazda Furai and the Coupe 60. both fully functional, both sound great. and the V10 R8

[Zytek_Fan]

I'll say the Furai, but something tells me the Estoque is going to win...

[f6fhellcat13]

I'll say the Furai, but something tells me the Estoque is going to win...

I seem to remember none of us liking the Estoque's styling the day it came out, but now we all do.
lol

[wwgkd]

Still don't. QP all the way.

Edit: Maybe it was the Panamera coming out that changed the tide. Kind of a "like this or else..."

[whiteballz]

Coupe 60
Mazda Furai

[fisetdavid26]

lol
Most of us saw it on TG and went: "bloody hell this looks good in reality!" (not in pictures)

[IBrake4Rainbows]

The Mazda Furai.

For being at once Practical, Fast, and an instant classic of design.

It's so busy, but it all works so, so very well.

[Kitdy]

I'm glad 'ballz nominated the Coupe 60 - I really dig this car. People seem to dig the Furai and Estoque though but I think that the 60 is better than either. Not sure how many share my view.

i do (as i nominated it first LOL). did the efijy win last year or whenever? it should have.

[whiteballz]

the Efigy was built in like 2006.

[clutch-monkey]

but technically it was shown in the US in 2007. not that it matters. it was fully functional too, like the coupe 60.

[Kooper]

It doesn't stand a chance of winning, but what the hey, probably significant enough to at least be included:

BMW Gina

[clutch-monkey]

that's a good one. did it actually run? neat concept.

[whiteballz]

I thought I read somewhere the GINA was produced in '04 or something.

[cmcpokey]

umm.. no... just came out a few months ago

[whiteballz]

I swear i saw those photos a fair while back.

*shrugs*

[f6fhellcat13]

http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/3750/BMW-Gina-Concept.html
It's an 08

[LeonOfTheDead]

Mazda Furai, hands down.

[Kooper]

that's a good one. did it actually run? neat concept.

I think I saw a vid of it (while it was still camouflaged and shrouded) being driven around at like 2km/h, not sure if that counts though

damn, I forgot about that.

it's my second submission now.
