5- Cadillac Elmiraj

Yes, it’s a couple of years old now, but it still captures power and class like no other big car. The ‘67-68 sharkfin El Dorados were always kings of the highway, in spite of the weird front wheel drive set-up. With the Elmiraj, the Caddy stylists captured all the old Standard of the World elegance and carved it into a big coupe that demands respect.

4- Nissan Vision Gran Turismo

Nissan’s mighty GTR has needed a major update for a while now and there’s no reason to make it any more complicated than just slamming the Vision Gran Turismo into production. There’s plenty of GTR styled in for purists and enough futuristic vision to put Nissan to the front of the class with this aggressive beauty.

3- Lamborghini Egoista

Another concept from a couple of years ago, Lambo’s Egoista can boast the most arrogant name in supercars. This single-seat raging bull lets everyone know that the world is yours and yours alone. This concept is liberating- why pretend that any one else matters when we really know that they don’t. Plus, it looks like an armored fist hurdling down the road. Lambo, build the Egoista right now. They will sell out immediately.

2- The Porsche 901

Designer Ege Arguden, working apart from Porsche took it upon himself to update the classic 911. This is a dangerous job that has been bumbled many times before. The Porsche faithful don’t like having the 911 messed with, as the factory has learned over and over again. Arguden’s 901 Concept is the exception. A thorough update that changes every line, but still manages to stay true to the classic 911 both in form and intent.

1- Devel Sixteen

Sure, a new Ford Bronco would serve much more utility (and is something we'd love to see!), but when the car looks like the batmobile and boosts nearly 5,000 hp who doesn't lose all common sense? While we're not sure the Devel Sixteen will ever be real, or if it is that it's a good idea to put in the hands of the public, no matter how rich they are, we'd love to see it nonetheless.
