30 concept cars that never hit the mainstream

Jaguar C-X75

This hybrid plug-in two-seater with 778 horsepower was first shown off at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. In 2011 the high-end C-X75 was scheduled to go into production but was cancelled due to the financial crisis’s affect on demand for expensive vehicles. The C-X75 would have retailed for US$1.15 million.

Alfa Romeo BAT 5

A car made in 1953 that could reach 200km/h (124 mph) is astonishing to think about. This experiment in aerodynamics was followed by BAT 7, BAT 9, and BAT 11—vehicles that were more advancements in technology than actual road-ready cars.
