Amazing looking cars that never got made



There have been thousands of concepts over the years, some of which have offered us a preview of a production model. In many cases, however, the concept never reached production; it ended its days gathering dust in some warehouse.That’s not necessarily such a bad thing of course; if all concepts reached production, we’d be saddled with the horrific Lagonda SUV unveiled in 2009. But not all concepts are so badly misjudged. There have been dozens over the years that have deserved to succeed. Cars with cutting-edge technology, great looks – or both.

Here we present some of the greatest concepts of the past three decades, most of which still look great. So now we’ve shown you ours, make sure you show us yours; tell us which concepts you think should have reached the showroom.

Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1: World's Biggest telescopic crane
The Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1 telescopic crane is ridiculous. It can lift up to 1,200 tons. Its boom extends to 100 meters long with up to 126 meters of additional lattice. Rolling along on a nine-axle suspension, this badboy can handle any job. Disc brakes come standard.
LeTourneau L-2350 Front End Loader: world's largest rubber-tire front loading vehicle
The world's largest rubber-tire front loading vehicle of its kind, the L-2350s bucket is roughly the size of a studio apartment. It has a 2,300 horsepower engine capable of lifting up to 160,000 lbs.
