They inspire, amaze and look like something from another star. Concept cars act as real crowd pullers at the major motor shows and exhibitions. They embody the ambitions and know-how of their creators in a way that no production car ever could. They are signposts to the future without having one themselves: As soon as the fair girls go home and the spotlight on the stages goes out, the show cars disappear into dark factory garages or even into the scrap press.

From star to dust catcher and back into the limelight again

Spiegel Online journalist Jürgen Pander has gone on the trail of these extraordinary cars and tracked down the most bizarre one-offs of various car brands in archives and collectors' collections. Among them are true design classics like the Alfa Romeo BAT and technical innovations like the Dodge Deora, which were far ahead of their time. Each of these one-hit wonders is once again put in the spotlight in crisp texts and rarely shown pictures.
