I like the conceptual design of the cabin. Looks light and airy, sunken in the frame that holds the wheels and mechanical parts. Nice model.

Nice Christmas present to yourself Paulius. Glad to see you’re still finding models to add.

A must have for you and any concept truck collector. Honestly I don't think there are many other "concept truck" collectors besides me  Maybe one or two other crazy guys and of course many people collecting brands or trucks or engine types so this model could find many homes, although it is not sold out completely yet so I guess it did not attract that many buyers. I just wish AutoCult continues releasing more famous truck models like this - they do make many truck models but most are too obscure from my point of view. That’s awesome!  What a great way to end the year! That is fantastic and now I want one! Plus it's a Chevy so that's a bonus for me. Love it. That is a really well crafted model, you won't regret having it! I like the conceptual design of the cabin. Looks light and airy, sunken in the frame that holds the wheels and mechanical parts. Nice model. In a way it still looks kind of modern, but back in the 60s it should have looked like a space ship! Agree with both! Nice Christmas present to yourself Paulius. Glad to see you’re still finding models to add. There are just too many new models being made and I have to limit my purchases, the space is getting stuffed! |

Another recent addition - received in December.. Not my "full" cup of tea being a race car but still I consider this as a half-concept so it fits the collection! Audi S1 e-tron quattro Presentation (2021) - also known as "Hoonitron". Made by Spark? for Audi but funnily there is no indication of the actual manufacturer or even country. Inspired by the famous classic Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak climber, this electric powered beast was driven (or slided) by Ken Block for is Electrikhana, but in a different paint/sticker scheme, so I prefer the more neutral "Presentation" version. From some angles it looks rather hotwheel-ish but it is nicely detailed as all modern models. The windows are tiny so could not have a good look to what seems a detailed interior.      As have probably figured by now, I am prone to exploration of obscure sub-topics for concept cars and here is my (almost full) section of "sticker cars":    After placing the models together I realized they all share predomintantly dark grey + fluorescent/bright red colour combinations, wonder if this is for some particular reason? They are 4 different brands! Models are McLaren MP-X (Spark), Maza Furai (Spark) and Peugeot 2008 DKR Presentation 2014 (Spark for Peugeot). |

That S1 looks great! I really like the way Audi does the colour schemes on their recent camouflage/concept cars. Tempting to get this one too. But I know It won't be something I want to keep. I've still got another of these Audis I'd like to sell.

Tempting to get this one too. But I know It won't be something I want to keep. I've still got another of these Audis I'd like to sell. Yes it's quite unique, and I like even more the fact that most of them are released as models in 1/43. Regarding this S1 I guess it is not a must-have, but a nice niche filler in my case. Interesting set with similar colour ways. I only have the Mazda. That was my impression, too, when I put them together! The Furai is a beautiful car and a fantastic model, I am very happy to have it! I would also like someone to make other Mazda concepts from that era with the same design language (forgot what it was called). Cool looking set! Thanks gents! |

The Audi would be ok without the stickers. I also liked the early noughties Mazda design philosophy which I think was called something like "Soul of motion". I too have the Furai but was lucky enough to get the rare stickerless version....  |

I too have the matt black only and am wondering why I didn't buy the more attractive stickered up version as well?.... May not have been quick enough to catch it while on sale.... Weird.
