No that's an abomination

2019-02-27 01:40:05 UTC  

concept cars are all bs anyway, barely anything ever comes out looking like the concepta

2019-02-27 01:40:07 UTC  

concepts

2019-02-27 02:35:41 UTC  

Not exactly true

2019-02-27 02:36:59 UTC  

Concept cars usually are an artistic ideal or flagship for the next generation of styling for the vehicles. Cues are taken from it for all over the lineup

2019-02-27 03:06:07 UTC  

concept cars are usually revealed as a potential new model, yet once the models reach production they rarely represent the concept from which they were built on, it's the car industry equivalent of when a "demo" for a game is shown comprising of pre rendered footage that the game engine can't produce

2019-02-27 03:09:24 UTC  

hell look at the difference between the supra concepts from like 2016 compared to the final product, it looks like the designer was fired and the designs he did were drooled over by the retard replacement, then made into production

2019-02-27 03:13:48 UTC  

That's a bad comparison, imo

2019-02-27 03:13:59 UTC  

It's more like a fashion show dress

2019-02-27 03:14:20 UTC  

Obviously it's not meant to be seen in the real world

2019-02-27 03:18:55 UTC  

you can buy what is on show at a fashion show

2019-02-27 03:19:40 UTC  

concept cars basically don't exist, they're dumb fake mockups to generate interest which usually lead to disappointment

2019-02-27 03:21:05 UTC  

it looks like the chinese car company knockoffs

2019-02-27 03:22:55 UTC  

like honestly if I didnt know any better I would think a chinese car company was just doing the standard copy procedure

2019-02-27 03:23:53 UTC  

lmfao

2019-02-27 03:27:08 UTC  

Okay, well I don't think this is a discussion with a right answer

2019-02-27 03:27:34 UTC  

I, for one, am not expecting the concept car to be reality

2019-02-27 03:33:04 UTC  

then what's the point of them at all?

2019-02-27 03:33:31 UTC  

again, it goes back to them being like prerendered game trailers

2019-02-27 03:37:04 UTC  

I just told you

2019-02-27 03:39:01 UTC  

Have you *SEEN* a fashion show? Those dresses are crazy, and no one would ever wear that in the real world.

But the very small styling cues and details within are what's important, and that flows downhill into production.

It sets a *design language* for the coming generation of production vehicles to be inspired by

2019-02-27 03:40:02 UTC  

For example, the Mazda Vision Coupe

2019-02-27 03:40:58 UTC  

You'll probably see a bunch of similar styling in all of their cars in the next few years

2019-02-27 10:03:18 UTC  

yeah, concept cars contain "pointers"... I liked the wheels on the Nissan concept, didn't like the lack of visibility, although they made sure to hide the windscreen, so the rear could contain those aggressively sharp lines but have a softer front.

2019-02-27 10:27:31 UTC  

@Fitzydog I have seen a fashion show and my point stands, you can literally buy everything there and wear it yourself if you're so inclined; it works and is produced, allbeit for a hefty price. the garbage concept cars often don't work, they're sometimes practically just a 3d mockup made real and imo it's a deceptive practice; "look at this new concept for our new model, doesn't it look great!?" then they release some generic turdbox that has headlights the same and basically nothing else

2019-02-27 10:28:59 UTC  

this doesn't even include the concept cars that don't even reach production at all

2019-02-27 18:41:50 UTC  

I always struggle with the hypothetical question of r34 vs nsx

NSX, Senna is a hero of mine πŸ˜„

2019-02-27 21:05:18 UTC  

the nsx is probably the better car to drive, but the r34 gtr has so much power potential

2019-02-28 03:00:00 UTC  

So I heard there was an engine that somebody slapped on a F-150 that got 58 mpg

2019-02-28 03:00:29 UTC  

Apparently this news is 3 years old too
