Incredible what a gem
Reminds me of the Cadillac Sixteen prototype. If you’re unfamiliar with it, I’d definitely recommend reading about it and taking a look at the photos online. It’s pretty cool.
When you really hate Prius drivers haha
I didn’t know about this car. What a concept!
Bmw made sooo many super extreme concept cars
