[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Holden Torana GTR-X, 1970. Created by Holden's Fisherman’s Bend design and engineering department based on the LC Torana with a 160hp triple carburettor version of Holden's 186ci "Red" straight six engine. They used Opel-sourced 4 speed manual gearboxes and differentials. Three prototypes were made with ladder frame chassis (similar in concept to the Chevrolet Corvette) and fibreglass bodywork. The project was meant for series production, brochures were printed (see above) and the car was displayed at the Melbourne Motor Show but the programme was cancelled before production began. One of the prototypes was destroyed in testing, the white car above is in a museum and the 3rd (unfinished) car in in the hands of a collector

Excuse me for sounding rude if it comes off that way, but how in the world did you end up owning a casino at 19? Sorry, it's just.. very strange.

Betone Shake, 1970. Designed by Marcello Gandini based on the rear-engined Simca 1200 S Coupé and presented at the Paris Motor Show. Compared to the many VW Beetle-based beach buggies of the era the Shake was highly finished featuring sophisticated detailing. Bertone made 2 prototypes, with the French specialist car-making Matra making 2 further cars in consideration of series production but the project came to nothing.

F40, Enzo Ferrari’s last word.

In the 1960s, NASA had a bunch of dummies working to bring humans to space. Well, it was just two dummies, really. Each ‘Power Driven Articulated Dummy’ was a 230-pound robot that NASA engineers designed to test space suits. One of the dummies now resides at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, and the other was auctioned off.

Popular Science wrote about the dummies back in 1967. Controlled by an operator and driven by a circulatory system of oil inside tubes, each android could mimic 35 human movements, from arm and hand flexing to twisting at the waist. [x]
