Forgotten ONES - The world of automobiles has always been a fascinating realm where innovation and craftsmanship meet. Among the many brands that have graced the automotive landscape, Hispano Alemán stands out, not just for its unique designs, but also for its compelling backstory. Founded in 1969 by Werner Bernhard Heiderich, affectionately known as Ben Heiderich, this Spanish automotive manufacturer captured the imagination of car enthusiasts with its distinctive creations, particularly the Mallorca buggy. Although the brand ceased operations in 1979, its legacy lives on through the vehicles it produced, especially the Hispano Alemán Castilla.

Heiderich, a former U.S. Air Force serviceman who had made Spain his home, ventured into the automotive industry with ambitious plans. His early success came from producing around 500 Mallorca buggies, which were popular but ultimately perceived as leisure vehicles rather than serious touring cars. This realization prompted Heiderich to pivot towards creating more robust and practical models. He believed that the market deserved vehicles that could offer both performance and comfort for longer journeys.

Following his initial success, Heiderich launched two more models in the early 1970s: the Scirocco in 1970 and the Vizcaya in 1971. Unfortunately, the Scirocco’s production came to an abrupt halt for reasons that remain unclear, while the Vizcaya faced legal hurdles that prevented it from reaching the market. Yet, Heiderich's determination never wavered. He sought to create a car that would redefine touring performance, and this led to the conception of the Hispano Alemán Castilla, which made its debut at the 1972 Barcelona Motor Show.

The design of the Castilla drew heavily from the Lotus Europa but incorporated many innovative features that were distinctly its own. Colin Chapman, the visionary behind Lotus, contributed to the chassis design, focusing on key aspects like engine mountings and braking systems. The Castilla was outfitted with four-disc brakes, enhancing its performance significantly. The vehicle’s exterior received several enhancements that contributed to its unique personality, including a reshaped nose that housed double headlights similar to those on the Seat 1500, and a stylized grille that lent a sleek look to the front end.
The Hispano Alemán Castilla's bodywork also underwent modifications that gave the vehicle greater personality and embellished some of its features. (Picture from: PressReader)
One of the notable features of the Castilla was its carefully considered aerodynamics. The front hood was ingeniously designed with air outlets reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz C111, while the roof was elongated towards the rear to accommodate an electrically operated sliding panel. This thoughtful design extended beyond aesthetics; it aimed to improve functionality and overall driving experience. On either side of the vehicle, Heiderich cleverly integrated two gasoline tanks, each holding 28 liters, with intakes designed for efficient air cooling.

Under the hood, the Castilla was powered by a SEAT Sport Coupé 1600 engine, strategically positioned in a central, longitudinal layout. This setup delivered an impressive 110 horsepower, surpassing even the more powerful versions of the Lotus Europa. The vehicle's design ensured an exceptional weight-to-power ratio, promising exhilarating performance that was both thrilling and reliable. Additionally, the Castilla featured a five-speed Porsche gearbox, a premium component that underscored the car’s high-end aspirations, though it added significantly to the vehicle's overall cost.

Despite its promising features and performance, the Castilla faced significant challenges in the form of homologation issues, which ultimately stymied its production. Collaborations with SEAT aimed to launch the vehicle under a dual brand—Lotus-SEAT Castilla—but these plans never materialized due to regulatory hurdles. Sadly, Heiderich's dreams of introducing the Castilla to a wider audience were dashed, and the vehicle remained a prototype.

As the automotive landscape evolved, so did the fate of Hispano Alemán. By 1979, the company had ceased all car production, marking the end of an era for a brand that had aspired to leave its mark on the touring car segment. Although Hispano Alemán is no longer active, the spirit of innovation and the quest for performance embodied in models like the Castilla continue to resonate with car enthusiasts today.

The Extinct - In the world of automotive design, some unique creations are destined to capture imaginations even if they remain elusive to the public. Among these, the Ford Taurus SHO Intercoast GTP is a standout, a car that exemplifies innovation and ambition, yet slipped into obscurity not long after its creation. Though the 1990s were full of experimental vehicles, few concepts have as intriguing a story as this tandem-seat supercar. Designed by Mel Francis, a visionary car builder from California, this car was meant to be a fusion of high-speed performance and practical efficiency—a combination that felt far ahead of its time.
The Ford Taurus SHO Intercoast GTP was a wild tandem-seat concept, built by Californian Mel Francis in 1993 and scrapped four years later. (Picture from: Carakoom)
The Ford Taurus SHO Intercoast GTP first took shape in 1992, a period when tandem seating was an experimental feature in car design. While other models, like Mazda’s E-Go Concept, Yamaha’s OX99-11, and Rinspeed's E-Go Rocket, played with similar configurations, the Intercoast GTP uniquely brought this design into the American market. Francis envisioned a streamlined, transcontinental “road cruiser” with tandem seating that positioned the driver at the center of the car, with room for a passenger directly behind—a bold departure from traditional seating arrangements. Inspired partly by the Ford Taurus SHO (SHO stand for Super High Output), a popular sports sedan, this concept car was set to blend comfort and sporty aesthetics in an innovative way.

At its core, the Intercoast GTP borrowed heavily from the 1992 Ford Taurus SHO, utilizing its mechanical elements while reconfiguring them for the mid-engine layout within a custom-built steel tube spaceframe chassis. Francis aimed to transform the Taurus SHO’s sedan qualities into something radically different. The car’s structure positioned the driver in the center, similar to the configuration found later in the famous McLaren F1. This unusual setup created a cockpit-focused driving experience, which was intended to improve aerodynamics and provide a more engaging connection to the road. Meanwhile, a full-size trunk allowed ample space for long journeys, aligning with Francis’s vision of a practical, cross-country cruiser.

In terms of design, the Intercoast GTP was sleek and futuristic, featuring what was likely a “gull-wing” door mechanism, adding to its supercar appeal. The car was intended to offer better fuel efficiency than other supercars of the time, thanks to its narrow greenhouse and aerodynamic body. This low-drag profile was a key part of Francis’s vision, designed to enable long, fuel-efficient drives across highways without compromising on style or performance. The Taurus SHO’s 3.0-liter V6 engine was likely adapted to this prototype, capable of delivering 220 horsepower—enough for exhilarating highway speeds.

of the most distinctive features of the Ford Taurus SHO Intercoast GTP was its
motorbike-inspired tandem seating, with the driver seated centrally and a
second seat directly behind. (Picture from: Carakoom)
Despite its promise, the Intercoast GTP never made it beyond its concept phase. Francis’s workshop was eventually closed in 1997, and the unique supercar was dismantled, with its parts reportedly repurposed for other projects. It’s thought that the car was simply too advanced for its era, a vehicle that perhaps couldn’t find the necessary investors to bring it into production. The few glimpses of it that remain showcase a car that may have been built before its time, unable to attract mainstream attention or support in an industry not yet ready for such a blend of speed and practicality.

The legacy of the Ford Taurus SHO Intercoast GTP is a fascinating chapter in automotive history, underscoring the potential of innovative design in car manufacturing. Though only a single prototype was ever produced, its story continues to intrigue automotive enthusiasts who see in it a concept that dared to break conventions. This long-forgotten prototype remains a testament to the boldness of ideas that sometimes get lost in the fast-paced world of car design, leaving us to wonder what could have been if the Intercoast GTP had found its way to the open road. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MEL FRANCIS IN FLICKR| ITS SHO TIME| FORDAUTHORITY | ROADANDTRACK | AUTOYAHOO | 9GAG | CARAKOOM | CARSTHATNEVERMADEITETC | HEARTBOOMCARS ]

Selfish ONES - Controversial, that's the right word to describe how Lamborghini Automobili's effort to celebrate its 50th anniversary with the launch of this unique concept car back in the 2013. According to the Sant'Agata Bolognese based automaker, the debut moment of the Lamborghini Egoista concept car on those weekend was "emotional."
The Lamborghini Egoista made its debut in 2013 as a bold and radical concept car designed to celebrate the Italian automaker's 50th anniversary. (Picture from: NewAtlas)
What specific emotions were involved is left to our imaginations, and shock, disbelief, anger, and maybe a tad of abandonment and rage on the part of onlookers comes to mind. Just two months after showing the Veneno (it could be say as the most extreme in its history), where Lamborghini push the boundaries even further.
Lamborghini likens the front design of its one-off Egoista to a trimaran, emphasizing its sharp, aerodynamic lines and futuristic aesthetic. (Picture from: NewAtlas)
The surprise Egoista concept is even more out there in design. Even without translating "egoista" from Italian to English (means "selfish"), the name conveys a certain sense of hubris and self indulgence, as in "whoever drives this assault on the pupils must be dominated by ego." To emphasize the selfishness meaning, because the car features a tiny cockpit that could occupied by one person as the driver only.
The Lamborghini Egoista uses a body and rims made from special anti-radar material and anti-glare glass with an orange gradation. (Picture from: NewAtlas)
Making its debut in celebration of the 50th Lamborghini anniversary, which makes Egoista looks like the radical work of creative design student. But it's actually a sort of birthday "gift" of the Volkswagen Group (Lamborghini's parent company), through the company's chief of design, Walter de Silva whose led the team to create this radical concept car.
The Lamborghini Egoista, with its single-person cockpit, caters to elite individuals seeking unparalleled exclusivity and extreme, uncompromising hedonism. (Picture from: NewAtlas)
De Silva explained the self-indulgent Egoista demographic further, "This is a car made for one person only, to allow them to have fun and express their personality to the maximum. It is designed purely for hyper-sophisticated people who want only the most extreme and special things in the world. It represents hedonism taken to the extreme, it is a car without compromises, in a word: egoista."
The Lamborghini Egoista makes selfishness tangible, with its design and features embodying pure individualism and exclusivity. (Picture from: NewAtlas)
This concept car boasts an incredibly extreme design, starting with an interior meticulously crafted to resemble a fighter jet cockpit, complete with a unique exit mechanism requiring the driver to climb out from the top, mimicking the egress of a real fighter jet.
The Lamborghini Egoista's open rear-end reduces weight and gives an aggressive look. (Picture from: NewAtlas)
The
cockpit, made completely of carbon fiber and aluminum, represents a
sort of survival cell, allowing the driver to isolate and protect
themselves from external elements. Then the exterior design certainly looks like the most extreme car concept that makes a lot of people say this concept car is similar to the Batmobile when it was painted entirely black.
By using the same engine as the Gallardo, the V10 engine has a capacity of 5.2 liters and can generate power of 600 hp. Not only selfish in the design, even the car can not be driven at any time. This car can only be driven by a limited circle. Anyone who wants to drive this concept should be part of an exclusive club that might be too far to reach by most of us.
The Egoista's future was narrow and takes its inherent selfishness even further, due to it was some a kind of gift for Lamborghini from Lamborghini, and the gift-giver/recipient has no plans of selling the one-of-a-kind car. It will remain a part of Lambo's own collection, no matter how many self-absorbed megalomaniacs one-up each other with crazy bids to buy it. *** [EKA [21052013] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LAMBORGHINI | NEWATLAS ]
