Past Geneva Concept Cars

Since Atomgirl pointed out the hack reporting job Winding Road  did on the Atom I haven't wasted much time reading it, but I still look at the pictures.

Swiss Time Machine: Ten Great Concepts from Geneva Motor Show History

By "Great" they apparently mean a few cool ones and several appalling ones.
Perhaps the answer to ugly rubber headlights is a flip-out  headlight feature like on this Alfa from 1976.

I figure this one must have come up on the forum before, but a search of "Renault Zo" didn't turn it up.  I confess to thinking that a central driving position is cool.

Flip outs are great!

Who's that japanese designer who was at Geneva a couple of years ago with a beautiful (but expensive) little roadster with flipouts?

Not translatable into Atom terms but I think the Panther Solo 2 had the best-ever headlights... I can't find a picture with them in and out on the same car but check out:
