    If you had to pick one, what would it be? 🤔
    1- Lamborghini Athon by Bertone
    2- Ferrari 512 S Modulo Pininfarina
    3- 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero Concept
    4- 1967 Lamborghini Marzal Concept
    5- 1969 Abarth 2000 Scorpio

    I bought a concept car book that includes all of these. Seeing them in FMV is a lot more revealing.
    The Athon seems to devote so much of its engine-to-cockpit volume ratio to the former that it should be able to fly...it almost looks like a flattened, convertible van.
    The Pininfarina looks even sexier than the Scorpio, but it seems to have UI challenges, and it seem to demand that its occupants be good friends. The door really needs to be motorised.
    I had wanted a Stratos since I first saw it in orthogonal stills; it seems driver view may be seriously compromised. How wonderful they put a 17" touch display in it; brilliant!
    Love the silver upholstery in the Marzal. ("The future ain't what it used to be.") Even the dash and console are well-considered and artful!
    The Scorpio body is the very appealing...except for the exposed engine. And the cockpit seems almost primitive ("simple" is probably the description they'd use.)
    All things considered, I'd say I fancy the Pininfarina for myself (followed closely by the Stratos) or the Marzal when I need to bring the family, but every one of them has an ICE engine, and - maybe I've been in an EV too long - they all just sound somewhere between hokey and barbaric.
    And a special shout-out to José De Albuquerque Jr. for pointing out the '72 Maserati Boomerang is prominent in its absence. It looks a lot like a Vector, my dream car.

    Not a surprise to see a Bertone all over the video. Gandini arguably is the most creative car designer, who knew how to build unique vehicles inspired by nature.

    The Bertone is made from hyper concentrated 80s juice. It's amazing that it actually looks innovative today.

    6:56 - A-ha-ha! :))) I see a piece of the Soviet-Russian Lada car under the hood of this monster :)))
    Large white Coolant expansion tank - used in our Ladas (VAZ 2103, 2106, 2101 models). Really beautiful and useful car part widely used by different car manufacturers.
    Расширительный бачок от нашей Жигули ВАЗ-2101 2103 2106 под капотом этого монстра.
