Here is car the concept of Super Terrain Vehicles (STVs) from Colorado-based Shadow Hawk Vehicles. Maybe this is the most ambitious and unrealistic concept cars ‘under development’. Shadow Hawk Vehicles have apparently got six different models of their STVs: Steel Hawk, the Street Hawk, the Terra Hawk, the Desert Hawk, the Armor Hawk, and the ominous sounding Battle Hawk.
The Mitsuoka Orochi(大蛇) is a Japanese sports car built by Mitsuoka Motors first built in 2001 and subsequently redesigned in 2003 and 2005. The car takes its name from the Yamata no Orochi of myth.
The Orochi was originally built in 2001 as a concept on a Honda NSX chassis for the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show. Mitsuoka then kept revising the car, showing a new version in 2005 and displayed, at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, the Orochi Nude-Top Roadster.
In October 2006, Mitsuoka officially launched the production version of the Orochi, now powered by a 3.3 litre 230 hp (172 kW) Toyota 3MZ-FE V6 engine. Production will be limited to 400 units over the next four years at a cost of around ¥10,500,000 (around $89,000 USD).

The Chevrolet Camaro Coupe Concept celebrates is European premiere at the 2007 Geneva Motor show.
Chevrolet Europe has decided to start importing the production version of this exciting vehicle as of 2009. Combining dramatic design and exciting performance, the Chevrolet Camaro Concept recaptures the spirit of one of the most popular sport coupes of all time and redefines the Camaro for new generations of fans.
The Camaro Concept embodies the performance and passion that have made first generation Camaros some of the most sought-after collector cars, updating the formula with a fuel-efficient powertrain, sophisticated chassis and contemporary design execution. The goal is to make the sport coupe relevant to younger enthusiasts while retaining its appeal to current fans.
“Millions of people of all ages fell in love with the Camaro for all of the right reasons,” said Ed Welburn, GM vice president, global design. “Camaros were beautiful to look at and offered performance that could rival expensive European GTs. Yet, they were practical enough to be driven every day and priced within the reach of many new car buyers.”
The long hood, short deck and wide stance of the Camaro Concept leave no doubt that it is a serious performance car. Those looks are backed up by a 400-horsepower aluminum small-bock V-8, a six-speed manual transmission, and a sophisticated chassis with four-wheel independent suspension.
