9 –1986 Oldsmobile Incas Concept

The Incas was a creation of the Italdesign studio and was inspired by another concept, the Ford Maya from 1984. Under the hood of the Incas sat a version of the famed Quad4 engine Oldsmobile was using in its products at the time. Clearly, in this case we’re talking about a design study only, but it does show how daring and innovative Oldsmobile could still be.

Inside, the dashboard adopted a futuristic style (as envisioned in the 80s), and it featured an abundance of digital dials. Note that on the steering wheels were buttons for changing gears.
