Taasiya T2 Concept Study

If only the automotive world decision makers would pay attention to what regular John Does, equipped with a nameless design tool and a lot of imagination, are capable of, then perhaps the cars of today might have looked more like the cars of tomorrow.

We have been presenting, for the past year or so, all sorts of more or less interesting designs, coming from wannabe Chris Bangles. Some you might have found to be particularly appealing, other, not so much so.

If you have been watching, then you might have read somewhere on autoevolution about Idries Noah, the man behind the BMW M Concept, a car targeted straight at the Audi R8. The same Noah now comes up with another interesting design.

Previewed ever since December last year, the so-called Taasiya T2 is intended as a hybrid supercar, powered by a 3.5l V6 engine, capable of developing 470 horsepower. With it comes a pair of electric motors, intended to boost the power output to even higher levels, while keeping the supercar on the green side of the barricade.

All of the above is, of course, wishful thinking, as the model has not left the virtual reality realm, and it probably never will. Not in real size, at least. But, if we are to judge by what carbodydesign.com says about Idries Noah being a designer for Mattel Hotwheels, perhaps we'll get a 99 cents glimpse of the car that could have been, but never was. Until then, however, enjoy the photo gallery below.
