1995 Plymouth Prowler Concept Matchbox 1:56











El Plymouth Prowler (también llamado Chrysler Prowler) es un automóvil deportivo de diseño "retro" producido por el fabricante estadounidense Chrysler y por DaimlerChrysler en el año 1997, y de 1999 a 2002, ya que en 1998 no se fabricó ninguna unidad del Prowler.

El Prowler es un descapotable de dos puertas y dos plazas. Una de las características de diseño más notables del Prowler son los pasarruedas delanteros, similares a los de un monoplaza.

Se dice que el diseño del Prowler fue creado al darles rienda suelta a los ingenieros de Chrysler para crear un Hot Rod como quisieran.

Tiene un motor de gasolina EGJ V6 de 3,5 litros de cilindrada y 214 CV (160 kW) de potencia máxima. En el modelo del año 1999, el motor fue modificado hasta alcanzar los 253 CV (189 kW). Ambos motores están acoplados a una caja de cambios automática "Autostick" de cuatro velocidades.

Numerosos componentes están construidos en aluminio, principalmente el chasis. La carrocería de este automóvil fue producida en Shadyside, Ohio (Estados Unidos).

The Lexus 2054 Futuristic Concept Car 1:24 Maisto











The Lexus 2054 is a concept car designed by Harald Belker for the 2002 Steven Spielberg film Minority Report. The vehicle was shown being built at an automated factory in the film, and later driven by star Tom Cruise in several action sequences.
In 2002, Lexus was requested by Steven Spielberg, a Lexus owner himself, to design a vehicle that would fit the requirements of year 2054 for his movie adaptation of the 1956 Philip K. Dick short story "The Minority Report". Designer Harald Belker worked with Calty, the Toyota/Lexus design studio in California. They came up with an advanced vehicle that would run on fuel cells and have many advanced safety features, including a crashproof structure and biometric security systems. (Lexus' cinematic concept car also appears in the 2005 film The Island, a red one in a stationary scene a blue one in a driving sequence, and a silver one shown in a parking lot).
A film tie-in site proposed a Lexus future vehicle that would drive itself, take dinner orders verbally, and select music to match occupant moods. The Lexus 2054 later appeared at several auto shows and public events. The site won several advertising awards. Lexus paid $5 million for the rights to market the vehicle and its brand in relation to the film.
The Maisto toy company produced a 1/24 scale replica of the car that was sold exclusively at The Sharper Image to promote the film.
