They inspire, amaze and seem from another planet. Concept cars act as real crowd calls at major automotive fairs and events.
They embody the ambitions and know-how of their creators in a way that no production car could ever do.
They are a signal to the future without having one: as soon as the beautiful girls come home and the spotlights go out on the stages, the show cars disappear in the dark garages of the factories or even in the scrap press.
Spiegel Online journalist Jürgen Pander set out on the trail of these extraordinary cars and unearthed the most bizarre one-offs from various car brands, in the archives and private collections.
These include true design classics such as the Ferrari 512 S Modulo and the Lancia Sibilo or the innovative Dodge Deora, which were far ahead of their time.
Each of these unique wonders is put back in the spotlight through crisp text and seldom shown images.
Large and small unique pieces, urban runabouts that have never arrived at the roads of the world, from the 40s to today.
