The 1994 Ford Maya....never heard of it 
I realise that it was a concept, but felt it was worth posting. Is it a Ford? Does it even exist?
It exists, but it's from 1984 and that isn't it. The Maya's an Italdesign wedge, that abomination is a Locus Plethore.I realise that it was a concept, but felt it was worth posting. Is it a Ford? Does it even exist?

Delfini Feroce
It came with a turbocharged flat 4 producing 276bhp (256ilbs torque) and was based on the chassis of the Subaru Impreza. By today's standard's its still a quite car making o-60 in 4.0 seconds and reacing 150mph.
Seriously - did a bunch of play school kids build that? It came with a turbocharged flat 4 producing 276bhp (256ilbs torque) and was based on the chassis of the Subaru Impreza. By today's standard's its still a quite car making o-60 in 4.0 seconds and reacing 150mph.

What about the Weissman GT? Personally, I think it's great but know that others think it's a bit poo.

As for the Panther: the wheels are part of the appeal eh?

Bristol 412
The body is identified immediately by the angular Zagato styling and the central roll bar. Large rectangular headlamps. Cast Bristol Pegasus badge mounted on the front grille. The 412 engine is a 6556cc (400 cu.in.) Canadian Chrysler V8 induction aspirated unit fitted with the Torqueflite automatic gearbox. The convertible versions have a manually operated folding rear hood section, the top roof section being a removable "Targa" style panel incorporating a sunroof insert that was designed so that when not fitted, it is storable in the Boot. Door windows drop automatically about 25mm to clear the roof when opening the doors.
Is this where the SL series came from
Bristol Speedster
The Speedster, announced late in 2002, was developed from a much earlier body style reminiscent of the 405 Drophead, though in a 2 seat version without folding fabric hood. Now fitted with Blenheim Sports pack and running gear, brakes etc. This undisguised Sports Car is fitted with a low wrap-round screen and a tonneau cover – but no roof nor folding hood – is easily capable of more than 150mph. It was also known in the Factory as the “Bullet” in its early gestation circa 1955, after a prototype Bristol Aeroplane Co.Ltd. racing aeroplane destined not to go into production. More detail when available.
