Car manufacturers have a habit of to our nice to do with concepts of affordable sports cars, then not in production. Clicking can be bad for your mood.
Those who are still a bit affordable in a sports car wants to drive, now already quickly at the mercy of second-hand. Among the thirty-five mille, you can for a new sports car still only go to Mazda for the MX-5 or BMW for the 2 Series Coupe. Cars like the GT86, TT, Z4 and SLK SLC do soon at least 45,000 euros. And that while manufacturers certainly do affordable sports cars can build, that they have been repeatedly proven. Only they take those nice conceptcars then not in production. I have eight examples from the last fifteen years for you put on a list, any additions are allowed in the comments!
Renault Wind
Yes, he was there, but a bigger disappointment since the lost world cup ’74 barely had. The concept was a fine roadster à la MX-5, production model, a ruined Twingo.
Volkswagen EcoRacer
Zero to hundred in 6.3 seconds, a top of 230 km/h and yet still be responsible. It could with the economical EcoRacer, with 136 hp 1.5 Turbo and a car weight of only 850 kilos.
Ford Visos Concept
It had a spiritual successor to the Capri should be, but the Ford Visos Concept was eventually still not and that’s pretty unfortunate.
Lancia Fulvia Coupé
Rarely, I found it a shame that a seemingly as well as production-ready concept and not in production as in the case of this Fulvia Coupé. This bella hails from 2003, though he would she me, still with minimal changes of the band may roll.
Volkswagen Concept BlueSport
We were just a little bit of time to recover from the disappointment that the EcoRacer would not be coming, we got the Concept BlueSport is presented. A good smoelende roadster with the 2.0 TDI with 180 hp. He would even go into production, though the snazzy little cart later shot and should be the only instance of his life to wear out in a museum.
Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta
It seems that Alfa Romeo still working on a new Spider, but if that car ever going to come? If it’s already that far, then they will in any case be very very hard to do on the appearance of the Spider. This stunning 2uettottanta do forget is not an easy task…
Kia GT4 Stinger
At the end of years ’90 had a Kia once, a very fine sports car in the range, all of this was nothing more than a license-built Lotus Elan with a different engine. This Kia GT4 Stinger was the perfect opportunity to show the world that the Koreans today, it is also on its own power, but unfortunately…
Opel GT Concept
There was a moment when our hopes on Opel. A nice coupeetje with 1.0 Turbo, 145 hp and rear wheel drive. Unfortunately, also in this case, again too good to be true, Opel has already let know that the GT in this form is not viable. Damage!
