The World's Most Outrageous Concept Cars

The electric Setsuna concept wasn't conceived to reach production; it marked Toyota's first ever appearance at the Milan Design Week.

Lexus is chasing customer awareness in Europe, and its UK division decided to grab some headlines by commissioning an ice sculptor to make ice tyres for its NX crossover.

The Kikai was a star of the 2015 Tokyo motor show. It is designed to celebrate its mechanicals and places most of them on show. It's unlikely to ever see production, though.

BMW's GINA concept wasn't meant to reach production - but its fabric 'bodyshell' showed how the company was planning to develop the metal surfaces of its production cars.

German brands are keen to play on their heritage, and BMW has created a string of 'Hommage' concepts that do little more than reference some of its most famous old models. This is the 328 Hommage, a 2011 tribute that marked the 75th anniversary of the original car.

French brand Peugeot has been fighting to reinforce its identity as a manufacturer of premium mainstream cars. The Exalt concept was a showstopper designed to grab headlines, but also showcase what the firm could do with natural materials.

What does the world need? Easy - a four-seater cabriolet with some of the largest gullwing doors ever created. Renault's vision of the future back in 2006 was designed to play around with packaging - but it was never likely to reach showrooms.
