'Car of the future' - Transcender

[jamesinorlando]

I'm sure lots of you who visited World Of Motion will remember the silver car of the future in the Transcender, I think it was one of the most photographed spots in Disney.

Does this car still exist anywhere on the property?

If so, anyone got pictures of it now?

I remember that. I don't know what they did with it.

I do not believe it is anywhere on property.......but it's the "Transcenter," not the Transgend-...I mean...Transcender...er...

GM was always the sponsor, right? I believe that was a copy of a GM concept car that was taken around to auto shows in the 80's, though i could be wrong.

isn't it that car that is/was in the post show showroom in Test Track?.
from pics ive seen of the WOM car(i wasn't born when it was around)they seem awfully similar.

I still think that looks like the Eagle Talon. But, I digress...

Speaking of WOM future predictions, does anyone else think the new Toyota Yaris hatchback's profile looks just like one of the concept vehicles at the end of the WOM ride (the Pepper's Ghost effect like the hitchiking ghosts)?

hmm, it looks a bit like the first and second generation Saturn coupes, which makes alot of sense when you think about it

The Motorama? That was in the 50's. You just made me feel very, very old. That car was basically a recreation (may have been the original) of the Chevy Citation III, which did the autoshow circuit in the early eighties. It was red at the time I saw it.

I'm pretty sure the car was called the "Aero 2000". But that was back through the early 80's... when "2000" represented the future!

Oh man, the Transcenter was awesome.

It also had the mighty Lean Machine car.

I'm surprised there aren't more tributes to the Transcenter in the current TT postshow area.
