This Car Company Got Banned For Being "Too Good" - This Concept Could Revive Its Legacy - Yanko Design
Briefly

The new Chaparral Centurion concept car revives the spirit of the innovative brand, which was banned in the 1970s for pushing boundaries. Designed by Jobin Sunil, its aggressively low silhouette and aerodynamic features reflect a modern take on Chaparral's legacy. It showcases a single-seater layout with striking design elements inspired by past models, notably the Chaparral 2J. Focused on performance without sacrificing aesthetics, the Centurion illustrates Chaparral's commitment to functional chaos in automotive design while hinting at potential advancements in the hypercar genre.
Aerodynamics are the soul of this thing. The exposed suspension, turbine-style wheels, and ductwork that seems to slice through the body all scream function-first.
Chaparral got banned for being too clever... they were banned, blacklisted, and eventually faded out. But judging by this new Centurion concept, they’re not done rewriting the book yet.
