lotus looks like a rx8


renault is...on their own planet

Don't like the Audi, and I'm a fan.

I'd like to see more of the Lotus.

[Jagshund]

I'll take the three silver-clad beings in picture number two. I love their shapes . . . those curves are just to die for . . .

I like the Jag

[Christien]

I wouldn't hesitate to put any of them in my driveway, but if I had to choose, it'd probably be the Renault. I've always loved way far out designs. The Exagon is a little tame, the Lotus is nice, but don't love it, the Lambo is beautiful, but not much of a departure from the current offerings, the Jag is lovely, but the headlights and front spoiler kind of ruin it for me. The Audi is awesome, though, and a close 2nd to the Renault, IMO.

'49 ford.





'79 kammback

I'm not a stylist, but I'll throw in my 2 cents.
No new ground broken here except for the Audi, which looks like something Italdesign would study and then reject, and the Renault, which reminds me of something from the Sbarro studios from back in the 80's. The rest of them are been there done that with a few new bits of surface excitement thrown in to try to make them look new.

As for the '50 Ford concept, I remember the first time I saw that, and it still looks good today. Did Foose design that?

Not so much for the Trans Am Kammback. Hasn't aged very well, and I bet it sound like an echo chamber.

(Just opinions, all in good fun!)

Audi should resurect the Avus:




And Jag should take orders on their concept, then put it into production with a couple of hundred extra pounds and half the engine displacement.

[masraum]

In the OP, I'm not a huge fan of the Audi or the Renault. They may look good from some angles, but not the angles in the photos.

The audi ^ is pretty hot.

[n8marx]

Huh. I didn't think the XJ220 was old enough for Jag to be doing a retro knock-off already.

[Tervuren]

I'd take the Jaguar without a huge amount of thought.

The renault and lotus would tie for 2nd.(it would come down to the specs)

[RWebb]

Yes, the Avus looks great, but...

I want the technology in this Jag in a Jeep (or a Westy camper van):

380 hp distributed with AWD and torque-vectoring controls to distribute power as needed to each wheel

will also make a kick ass rally car

[Buckterrier]

I attended the Detroit auto show when the Viper was a concept car, they made that one.

One of my favorites... Cadillac 16 - way, way over the top.
