The 2003 Sixteen concept car boasted of 1000 hp, 13.6-L of displacement, 16 cylinders, 4 doors, and a weight of 2.5 tons. The sleek and long sedan could have been the ultimate flagship model.

The flagship model did not emerge, and Cadillac went on with its rather milquetoast lineup of big sedans and SUVs.

2002 Lincoln Continental

The Lincoln Continental concept made its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2002. It was seen as a tribute to the 1960s Continentals as well as a retro-futuristic masterpiece. It featured chiseled proportions and suicide rear doors. The big sedan had a 400 hp V12 engine. It was among the first vehicles to come with LED technology and fiber-optic lighting. Even though it got rave reviews, Ford axed its production after 2002 and never incorporated its concepts. Talk about a reality fail!
