Old Concept Cars That Still Look Great Today

A life of a concept car has only two distinct possibilities, it could spawn a production version that resembles it or it can go the company museum and never make it to the dealership. Here is a pair of concept cars from the past that generated a lot of buzz back in their day for their excellent styling. While a lot of concept cars look tremendous when they debut these two famous concept cars still look great enough to make a 2013 model year production version for the streets.

Ford GT90

Unveiled at the 1995 North American International Auto Show the GT90 was the 1990s update on the classic Le Mans winning Ford GT40 of the late 1960s. Backing up its extreme supercar styling was a 720 horsepower twin-turbo V12. While the GT90 never made it into production its "Edge" styling with sharp triangular shapes influenced Ford design in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the last pre-retro Mustang and first generation Focus are good examples. While the closest anyone got to driving the GT90 was Need For Speed II, its design still looks great today and with few modern touches and updates would make an excellent halo car for Ford even today.

I could see a new NSX looking like that, but Honda/Acura design is all weird now.

So that's where the Audi R8 came from.

lmao! You think the R8 looks like the GT90 concept, yet you cannot see the similarities between the new Audi Q4 rendering and the X6?

Are you blind perhaps?

Yeah I think the R8 and the Ford cocnept look alike. And you are the one that is blind because in my sentence Audi Q4 and X6 didn't come up? How you get that from this?:

Nevermind Joe you were talking about that Audi Q4 post. My bad. My bad please forgive me. I know how I would feel if some one accused me of being blind. Wait a sec someone did. Oh well forget Joe.

The Sixteen and Cien concepts from Cadillac are the first ones to come to mind. Caddy knows how to make a good concept.

Those were good, supposedly Cadillac still wants a rear wheel drive flagship sedan like the Sixteen. we'll see if anything actually happens with that.
