Description
From the 850hp Chrysler ME Four-Twelve to Honda's lost V10 NSX, these are 9 incredible concept cars and cancelled supercars that should have been built — but never made it to the road. Part 2 of the series.
Some were destroyed by money. Some by corporate politics. Some by bad timing. A few died for reasons that still make no sense today. Every car in this video was real, drove, and was almost ready — until someone decided the world wasn't allowed to have it.
👉 Watch PART 1 first: [ https://youtu.be/4vi6qmIfEuo ]
In this video we look at the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve, the Honda NSX V10 that the 2008 financial crisis erased, BMW's secret M8 E31 prototype hidden for 20 years, the mirror-aluminum Ford Shelby GR-1, the one-seat Lamborghini Egoista, the raw-copper Peugeot Onyx, the seamless Maserati Birdcage 75th, the arrow-shaped Nissan BladeGlider, and the Citroën GT that escaped from a video game.
If you love forgotten prototypes, cancelled supercars, concept car history, and the engineering stories behind the machines we almost got — this one's for you.
