QOTD: Potential HWs in Real Life

Most of us on this site that collects HWs prefer to collect authentic cars from authentic manufacturers (GM, Ford, Porsche, Ferrari, etc) and turn our backs on fantasy cars that designers are stamping out these days at the El Segundo HQ. I understand that HW aren't just for us collectors, it's for the kids as well but some of the fantasy cars released these days are so obscene and ugly; even kids reject them. But once in a while, some fantasy cars they design are radical but still look realistic at the same time. Like this:

Carbonic from last year. It looks wild like HW intended but also look like a possible production car. Even the specifications that HW made up for it seem possible: "Open roadster with a rear-mounted, turbocharged, 4 cylinder compact engine and gobs of carbon fiber." The car look like something design house Zagato will create. I can picture it as some kind of extremely limited edition exotic that the production number can be counted by the fingers on your two hands and carries a seven figure price tag. What really baffles me is that HW said: "It excels both on and off road." Off road? So this is some type of carbon fiber dune buggy? I can only imagine this is the modern interpretation of another HW design casting:

The Jack Rabbit Special, a lightweight sports car capable of sand dune blasting.

Now it's your turn, what fantasy HW castings that you came across that may be possible in real life?
