Romanian designer Andrus Ciprian's Honda Pegasus is a modern concept car inspired by the 1950s-era Pontiac Firebird II. The influences can be seen on the car's array of wings, spoilers and air management systems.
Honda Pegasus features a small gas-turbine jet engine at the rear which provides power to the car. The wheels of the vehicle also have special features to cool the brakes by drawing air inside. Although it is unknown whether the Honda Pegasus will ever be produced, there is no doubt that car lovers would love to see such a vehicle in the near future.
