Gorgeous model and your photos are excellent. Yes, it's too bad that the hood doesn't open, but one additional feature of this car that I would like to mention is that the floor of the luggage area rises when the lift gate is opened.

i quite like the aesthetic of this concept even though i didnt know anything about this model before. Funny thing about some concept car models, they tend to have concealed engine bay. Perhaps the concept car itself doesnt already have a running engine and it was a secret back then when the scale model was being commissioned so no engine can be shown?

You brought up an interesting question. I don't know enough about the Escala to tell you if it was a fitted with an engine, but it is not uncommon for a concept car to be created without one.
