🔴 1989 Lamborghini P140 by Chrysler Design Center 🔴
The Lamborghini P140, designed by the Chrysler Design Center in 1989, was initiated before Chrysler acquired Lamborghini in 1987. Intended as Chrysler’s proposal for an entry-level Lamborghini, it was ultimately overlooked in favor of Bertone’s proposal. Chrysler later discontinued the P140 project before selling Lamborghini to the Malaysian investment group Mycom Setdco and the Indonesian group V Power Corporation.

🥶2008 TVR Sagaris II Prototype🥶 The Sagaris was designed by Graham Browne and Lee Hodgetts and powered by a 4.0 liter in-line 6-cylinder engine. The Sagaris II was to have some minor styling revisions and a new exhaust system. However, TVR had gone into a production hiatus because their production facility went into administration before the Sagaris II made it into production. • • Visit www.Story-Cars.com • • #storycars #conceptcar #conceptcars #prototype #TVR #tvrsagaris #tvrsagaris2 #tvrsagarisprototype #tvrsagarisii 📸/📚: TVR https://www.instagram.com/p/CoU10z0riMZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🐏1967 Rover P6BS V8 Prototype🐏 A project to make a mid-engined V8 sports car using the ex-Buick 3.5-liter alloy V8. Also, known as the Leyland Eight GE, David Bache headed the development team (he was also responsible for the first Range Rover), and the car went as far as having a projected US on sale date and price point ($5000). The V8 was offset to the right because the gearbox was in front of the engine, and this placement allowed the transaxle to run on the side of the engine, thus making the car lower. The P6BS was developed further into the P9, but British Leyland's management was concerned that it would take sales from the Jaguar E-type, so the project was shelved. • • Visit www.Story-Cars.com • • #storycars #conceptcar #conceptcars #prototype #leylandeightge #roverp6bs #roverv8 #davidbach 📸/📚: Rover https://www.instagram.com/p/CoArPTTJhME/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🥠2006 Renault Altica Concept🥠 A 3-door shooting brake prototype with butterfly doors designed by Patrick Le Quément. The Altica featured a “Synthetic Jet,” an aerodynamic device consisting of a 2mm slot at the rear of the roof through which air was alternately sucked or blown to control the separation of air depending on the car’s speed. It was claimed to reduce the Altica’s Cd by up to 15%. • • Visit www.Story-Cars.com • • #storycars #conceptcar #conceptcars #prototype #renaultaltica #renaultconcept #renaultconceptcar #shootingbrake 📸/📚: Renault; Stéphane Foulon https://www.instagram.com/p/CnyCxNPseE5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
