Notable concept cars

I realise that concept cars exist to generate headlines, hence any mildly successful concept car will have refs, but that doesn't mean they are notable. I'm inclined to reduce the tedious table massively. Greglocock (talk) 22:37, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I've just added a whole new batch, we're pulling in two different directions here. Which ones would you suggest eliminating? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 19:53, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is good that there is an explanation why they are in there, but Ford 021C for example seems a very weak candidate, as is the Volt, whicjh was basically a lie. Greglocock (talk) 23:20, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Volt, I wouldn't object to omitting this one (which is not really a concept car so much as an early EV attempt). Re: o21c, as far as concept cars go, it has had an impressive half-life in terms of "generating headlines" (or just staying in the news in one way or another – some examples from a cursory search: 1; 2; 3; 4; 5). Arguably, at least a few of the others listed in the section were more previews of future production models than concept cars. Also, for what it's worth, I'm not a fan of the "tedious table" format either (which displays poorly on mobile devices). A bullet-list with appropriate links would be my preference. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 05:48, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"First" claim

We make the first concept car claim about both the Auburn Cabin Speedster and the Buick Y-Job. It can't be both. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 05:49, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Desperate attempt to add Gran turismo content

Sorry, the cars in GT are more like Cars (the film) not concept cars. They are cartoons. Greglocock (talk) 21:02, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I wholly support your point of view regarding the GT software matter (and especially how it has thus far been applied to this article), more broadly, there could conceivably be some overlap between the virtual and real-world. At least one important car designer has worked on animated films (see J Mays#Pixar), and at least one actual, real-world concept car made a cameo appearance as a result (see Ford 021C#In popular media). Also, in addition to the Batman example we cite, there are other examples of concept cars in film (nor, for that matter, would I oppose including Syd Meade's Blade Runner or Tron designs here – if that seemed like a useful addition). Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:55, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shane O'Sullivan the 1: Of all of the great concept cars that have been made over the past 100 years, why would we choose to include this one? Also, apart from being named "Grand Turismo" (which is the name of dozens of cars), there is nothing in the source about your software. This is very likely WP:REFSPAM. Please do not re-insert this claim or the image without WP:RS sources and consensus. Thank you. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 07:07, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shane O'Sullivan the 1: Please, if you must, add a link to Vision Gran Turismo in "See also" section, or add a sentence about virtual cars developed for a video game (the Motor Trend source does not say anything more than that) – preferably not in the lead. Any other claims needs proper WP:RS sourcing. We don't need to advertise someone's marketing efforts here. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:17, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
