Alfa Romeo 8c GTA.

Limited edition 50 or so, less weight (1350wet seems to considered low these days frown ) Get a nice 500 from that 4.7 V8, get Dallara to finish the car as Alfa should have done in the first place.

Also Maserati Granturismo short wheelbase, to rival the 911, 2 seats, that 4.7 howling with less weight and sharper chassis, that would be ace.

Abarth should have (and still should), do an elise esque track car, 655kgs 1.3 litre (as his history or although in reality it would be the turb0 1.4), 200bhp, hard as fk to get into, Stunning to drive.

Saw it at the motor show years ago.
Will never be able to afford one if they did make it, but I loved it.



(Will try and put up proper pictures later at home if I can, stupid work computer blocks most stuff).

How about the E92 M3 pickup in the background? hehe

I seem to remember seeing an E36 pickup too.

There's also a lovely two door E34 M5 in that garage at M GmbH, amongst other amusing experiments.

If they did one with the 3.0 diesel V6 I'd have one on the drive.

The Panamera estate thing. The hatchback is so good, yet so monumentally ugly... the estate would have made it one of the most desirable mainstream cars on the market, IMO.

Land rover exploring replacement for defender in the 90's based on 100 inch range rover/discovery chassis and using fibreglass panels.





Not as nice as current defender, but still better than the godawful DC100 derived crap we are going to end up with frown
