Very little transmission hump yet there is some tunnel. Seems like a front engine maybe four wheel drive with perhaps a transverse engine? That's a lot of alcantara. Useless as a real world interior. Very old looking shifter gate - Audi like. Where's the touch information screen on that one? RHD is odd for a one off or prototype. OK I have no idea.
This is the Maserati Buran, concept car. The inside looks like a Lancia Ypsilon and the outside looks like a Lancia Musa. Designed by Giugiaro. More pics of this weird car: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
So next in our quiz, you have to guess the model of the following car: (yes its a Maserati again! and yes it has a map of the world printed in the interior leather!) Image Unavailable, Please Login
That I do NOT like. A minivan has no place in the Maserati brand. I don't care if the name it Birdcage. No, no no.
It is the horrifying concept "AUGE" made by Castagna in 2003 , based on the Maserati Quattroporte IV. Ciao Andrea Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
A car design not only with luggage but baggage as well. How nice. I'm amazed they actually completed this prototype. ... drawing it was bad enough and then all that baggage, er ah I mean luggage too? Luggage, baggage ... garbage. Well this may help to explain. From the Wictionary Etymology From Old Norse auga. [edit]Noun auge n (definite singular auget; indefinite plural auge; definite plural auga) eye (organ) Eg har noko på auget. Something is stuck in my eye. eye (the visual sense); vision Auga mine er ikkje so gode som dei ein gong var. My eyes aren't as good as they once were. [edit]References “auge” in The Nynorsk Dictionary – Dokumentasjonsprosjektet.
I'm sorry, but anyone responsible for the design and building of these prototypes should be summarily fired. I don't care what whimsical and artful BS they were trying to express and what envelopes they were trying to push, these POS cars so very, very badly miss the whole point of what Maserati was, is, and will ever be that these "designers" and bureaucrats can be called nothing short of incompetent. What a horrible waste of resources. All the same, thanks to MB for the eye opener!
