The cars that never happened

[James Baggott 227]

I've had an amazing experience this week. I got to try the Jaguar C-X75, the maker's super car that never happened.

The story behind the car was fascinating, and we tell it in full in the next issue. It forms part of a brilliant (and I would say that) feature on 'Skunkworks' cars. Those being the back room projects of manufacturers that we wished had seen the light of day.

It got me thinking - what cars do you wish had been made that never were?

Remember reading an article on BMW's that they made as a one off, bet there's some great cars hidden away round the world.

The M3 Touring.  BMW seem to have made a few as one off internal projects but none have ever made production, which is a huge shame given how well the C63 and RS4 sell, and I bet the BMW would be a better drivers car than either.

how about the cars that SHOULD never HAVE happened ?

 

I'll throw the Chrysler Neon in for starters..... bloody awful car !

Citroen C3 Pluriel - a badly conceived unreliable piece of junk which wobbled if you drove over a white line and leaked like a sieve.  The Peugeot 1007 was similarly pointless with its silly electric doors and centre of gravity somewhere in the stratosphere as a result.

 

The Neon made sense in the USA where it cost about £6k, but in the UK at over twice that price it was a bit of a joke.

I wish Ford made the GT90, my all time favourite car as a spotty teenager!

Suzuki x90? - lovely looking car, and practical to boot !
