Pictures: Ferrari Celeritas concept

By Amir Iliaifar October 21, 2011

There comes a point in one’s life where they need to come to terms with the fact that some things aren’t real, whether it’s Santa Claus or an honest politician, they simply don’t exist. Sadly, the Ferrari Celeritas concept is one of those things.

This two-seater convertible with sleek and sexy lines incorporates twin spoilers that move independently of one another to increase and decrease downforce . The concept Ferrari also features a low profile with sweeping wheel arches and a visible engine block in the rear. And of course, it’s extremely easy on the eyes.

The creation of designer Aldo Schurmann, the Celeritas concept certainly gives new meaning to the term “dream car,” as it most likely will never exist other than on paper. Let’s just hope the folks over in Maranello are paying attention.

Cars are shaped by regulations, market trends, executive demands, and the segment they're designed to compete in. Concept cars allow designers to throw these considerations out the window and build what they would truly like to see on the road. They're often wild, head-turning creations that give us a glimpse into a stylist's mind.

Automakers have recently become lazy in that regard, and these days concept cars are often little more than an upcoming production model decked out with cameras in lieu of door mirrors, big wheels, and shaved door handles. It’s unfortunate, but thankfully some brands still know which strings to pull to mesmerize us as we walk the floors of the world’s largest auto shows. Read on to learn more about some of the coolest concept cars of all time.

Concept cars have been a car show staple since the 1950s, when the visionaries of the day were showing off bubbletops and Batmobiles. So it only makes sense that now that CES is pretty much a car show, concepts are popping up everywhere here too. And not just ordinary concepts with big wheels and angular bodywork. Something about the glitz of Vegas and the possibilities of technology seems to send car designers off the deep end, and we’ve seen some wild stuff. From an Avatar-inspired ride to the first car ever from Sony, here are the car stars of CES 2020.
