1956 Talbot-Maserati Dubonnet Barquette de Corse


Obviously the inspiration for Speed Racer's Mach 5. I bet most of you thought it was based on the Ferrari 250 Testarossa ... Then again, it's a pretty good guess .

Re: Post pics of intersting and/or forgotten concept cars of the past!

I'd really like to have one of those Mach 5 replicas some day. Maybe even a Shooting Star replica too... (www.driveamach5.com and www.speedracer.la have pics of both cars, but the sites aren't working right now.)
This is the prototype, Peterson Automotive museum has it:

These are the "production" models if you'd like to call them that:


Hard to imagine a sexier car.
But actually... I'd really love to have a replica of the GRX, that car was sweet.
