I had never seen them in real life and they are very good looking cars. Extremely low to the ground.
With seeing two at once that must be at least 10% of the running cars in the world.
One was a convertable.
I'll post photos in the what I saw section tonight.

those were the two AWX-3 and AWX-3R prototypes. Neither was a W8, but it is based on the same chassis. Today, there isn't one known car that does not run. The car in the Saudi royal family hasn't been seen in 15 years however... chances are it is still in the Palace on showcase.
While the style of those cars is more resolved in the rear, they are not of production build quality.
