The Not-So-Real Vehicles

[Orca]

I'm being random again. Feel free to ignore.

Just a thread to discuss some of our favorite vehicles that can be best described as fictional concepts, whether from TV shows, video games, or movies.

Examples:
halo.wikia.com/wiki/Warthog (the "modern day" Jeep in 2552) and halo.wikia.com/wiki/Pelican (workhorse dropship of the UNSC) - both of the Halo franchise

The Audi and Lexus concepts from I, Robot and Minority Report, respectively. Even though those concepts are supposed to be "decades" off, one notices through designs like the Toyota FT-HS that barring advanced propulsion systems, we might be seeing production cars in that vein sooner than the movies pin them at.

I was just going to mention the futuristic Audi from I, Robot. The RSQ, to be exact.

There's also a little-known French-made CGI movie called Renaissance which features a futuristic Citroen, although this one's styling looks a bit more retro-styled:

I actually heard of Renaissance but figured it wasn't much more than a ripoff of Sin City. The Citroen looks cool though, its rear end reminiscent of the current Megane.

And now that I've seen the RSQ again I noticed it has a lot of styling in common with the new R8 and TT...

From the front, the R8 is pretty much an RSQ with normal tires(The cars in I, Robot use weird spherical wheels.) and a few minor differences such as the slits under the headlights, position of the Audi logo, etc.

The rear-ends are completely different though, aside from a slight similarity in the tail lights.

that citroen thing... looks familiar. www.citroen.co.uk/level3/generalpage.asp?pagetype=citroenconcepts&lhn=aboutcitroen - both th C-metise and the airdream look similar to it.
