[Auto] Axed! Great cars cancelled at the last moment

[Mr.BaZzAr]

 

For decades, car makers have invested vast sums of money into new models, or new derivatives of existing models, only for the plug to be pulled before they enter production.
The company might run out of cash, the market might change or the new model might be deemed too radical. Or it might simply be that too late in the day, the car maker realises that the sales aren't there to justify the expense of putting that new model into showrooms. The all-electric new Jaguar XJ (spyshot pictured) was cancelled in February 2021 just before its unveiling; we recently asked company boss Thierry Bolloré why and he said it was a tough decision but that plans had changed and that the only thing the car had in common with those plans was that it was electric. 

This is by far from the only example of a late stage cancellation. Here are the other famous cars that you should have been able to buy, but for one reason or another you were denied the chance:
