An era describes context; it is not a claim that every surviving example was built in the same year. Individual profiles explain presentation dates, reference seasons and production periods where those distinctions matter.

Ford 2004
The 2004 Ford Shelby Cobra Concept revisited the open two-seat Cobra idea with a new chassis and a large naturally aspirated V10.
Hyundai 2004
The 2004 Hyundai HCD-8 Concept presents a compact sports-coupe form through a California design study. The yellow physical show car is the archive subject here, with its own identity and imagery retained…
Kia 2004
The 2004 Kia Sport Concept gives a small hatchback a deliberately assertive physical form. Its original Paris programme deserves a distinct archive identity, separate from both the Sportage SUV and later retail…
Lexus 2004
The Lexus LF-C makes roof configuration part of the design experience. Its 2004 concept brief combines a sports-coupé identity with four different roof positions, giving the archive a more specific story than…
Lincoln 2004
The Mark X explores an open two-seat Lincoln with a retractable glass-roof arrangement. Its cabin photograph documents a specific piece of that physical design, not a generic MKX crossover interior.
Maserati 2004
The Maserati MC12 Stradale connects a small road-car run with the marque’s return to international GT racing. The road, competition and private track versions need separate identities and counts.
Maserati 2004
The Maserati Spyder 90th Anniversary celebrates the marque’s 1914 founding with a limited open V8 road-car programme. Its regional allocations should not be mistaken for the worldwide count.
Mercedes-Benz 2004
The Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG Coupé turned a successful touring-car era into a dramatic limited road-car programme. Its wide body and supercharged V8 made a clear statement, yet the 100 customer coupés…
MINI 2004
The 2004 MINI Cooper S MC40 translates the 1964 Monte Carlo victory into a modern, numbered commemorative road car. It is a specific MINI USA edition, rather than a description for any…
Mitsubishi 2004
Eclipse Concept-E presented hybrid propulsion as a performance idea as well as an efficiency proposal. The orange physical concept combined a sports-coupe shape with a deliberately unconventional drivetrain. This profile records the…
Mitsubishi 2004
The Evolution VIII MR FQ-400 was an official Mitsubishi UK programme with an announced limit of 100 cars. Developed around the MR FQ-320, it combined a heavily revised turbocharged engine with chassis…
Mitsubishi 2004
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR GSR is documented here as a Japanese factory grade, with its own equipment reference and a carefully scoped rarity record. The MR GSR is the road-equipped Japanese…
THE RARITY RIDES STANDARD
A limited offer is not automatically a completed-production total. A surviving vehicle is not a complete factory census. We keep those distinctions visible and link each collection back to the individual profile’s evidence.
