Ghia Selene

The Ghia Selene was a series of concept cars created by Carrozzeria Ghia, styled by Tom Tjaarda. The Selene I was first shown at the Turin Motor Show in 1959 and had much in common with the Renault Project 900 concept: a cab forward design with a large rear area meant for the engine, which made the front look like the rear and the reverse. It seated six people, two in front and four in the back facing each other, and no engine was ever fitted. The Selene II followed in 1962 with a central single front seat and four passengers behind, kept the cab forward layout and borrowed the fighter jet styling popular in the 1950s. The Selene II concept was sold off in 2002 for around 88,000 dollars.
