These are the most exciting and over-the-top visions of the near future from brands your grandparents may have known and loved, like Pininfarina, Hispano-Suiza, and Aston Martin’s Lagonda, and new outfits you’re soon to become more familiar with, like Qiantu and Rivian.

Supercar, hypercar, megacar—where will it end? If Koenigsegg has anything to say about it, it’ll end with the 300-mph Jesko—at least until the Swedish masterminds decide to drop their next masterpiece.
