Description[]
The IAD Alien was a futuristic sports car designed by British design firm International Automotive Design. Designed by Martin Longmore and Marcus Hotblack, the Alien was unveiled at the 1986 Turin Motor Show. The car featured no doors, with entry and egress done through a canopy system; inside the car was a highly futuristic cockpit system. The car was designed fully with safety in mind, with significant rollover and side protection measures. It also was designed with modularity in mind, with the engine able to be switched out for other power plants when its owner required; although the car was never really properly developed for production and remained a non-functional prototype, the Alien was said to be equipped with either a V6 or flat-6 if it entered production, with alternative options including a V8 or V12. The current location of the prototype is unknown.
