Allocated as the forerunner for a Servile racing succession, this all-electric track car will go from 0-100kmph in under five second, with a racing range of over 200km. The annual Paris Motor give you an idea about lines up a whole new series of automotive wet imaginings; some, like the new version of the 599 and Macerate GT, are sure to be on the road and rail network soon, but others — particularly those French fantasies — are predestined to be, at best, one-off test beds. Here’s my pick (in no exacting order):
More a prototype than a concept, it was unveiled at the Le Mans 24-hour race and was in recent times thrashed silently (emotional, retain information?) around the Thurston footpath by a Top Gear group. But with the depression finally over (OK, we’ll ignore the USA) and comprehensive markets getting bigger, the car is back as more than just transport. In spite of the global depression, the last couple of years has seen some truly breathtaking cars hit the street, both from the Far East — Nissan GT-R, Lexus LFA — and Europe — Ferrari 458 Italia, Aston Martin Rapider, and Porsche Panacea. We also have a few cars — Limbo Soquel, Aston One-77 and the amalgam Porsche 918 Spider — still waiting hesitantly in the wings.
However, straitened times subdued the car industry to a some extent, with many design and concept scrapped in favor of more sensible mass-appeal model.
