Maserati 1947
The A6 1500 Pinin Farina Geneva prototype captures the first road-going Maserati at a development stage. Its specific body appearance deserves a record distinct from the later road-family illustrations.
Mazda 1970
The Mazda RX-500 turned rotary packaging into a dramatic 1970 concept-car silhouette. Its low nose, elongated rear body and unusual display presence make it a distinctive part of Mazda’s experimental archive. The…
Mazda 1981
The 1981 Mazda MX-81 Aria brought Bertone design to an experimental Mazda hatchback. Its wedge body, expansive glass and radical cabin made the first MX-badged concept much more than a styling sketch.…
Lotus 1984
The Lotus Etna is a physical concept with an ambitious proposed road-car role and a later running-restoration history. Lotus dates its Birmingham reveal to 1984, correcting the workbook’s 1983 reference while preserving…
Mercedes-Benz 1991
The Mercedes-Benz C 112 used the form of a mid-engined supercar to explore active safety and vehicle control. It appeared at Frankfurt in 1991 and survives in documented physical-exhibit records. Its importance…

Lotus 2006
The Lotus APX presents a crossover-shaped engineering prototype within the marque’s development archive. Its 2006 Geneva identity and later exact exhibit photograph are kept separate from series-production road cars.
Mazda 2006
Mazda Kabura explored a compact sports coupé for a young audience, using a visibly different package from the company’s larger four-seat concepts. The car debuted in Detroit in 2006 following a December…
Mazda 2006
Mazda Nagare gave a name and a physical show car to the company’s flow-inspired design direction. Unveiled in Los Angeles in 2006, it made sculpted surface movement the focus of the concept.…
Mazda 2007
The 2007 Mazda Ryuga carried the Nagare design theme into a compact, dramatically surfaced show car. Its physical body provides a clear comparison with the earlier Nagare concept and the more experimental…

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.
