Performance Cars

Sometimes conceptual cars are noticed for their performance than the design. Even if they look really good and outlandish, they would be known more for their special abilities.

Nissan Rotating Car Concept is allows you to rotate the car by 360 degrees and thus you can move forward, backward or wherever. It allows lateral movements.

The Ferrante V Concept pays tribute to the 1967 Chevy Impala and is a great looking car indeed. More than that, it packs a performance power that most cars do not.

Unbelievable Cars

Some of the concepts can be downright unbelievable that they need to be given special attention. Cars that are outlandish, freaky and off-the-wall rarely get manufactured for the masses but they deserve all the attention we can provide.

Lamborghini Countach by Mike Ryan is a classical looking car that is amphibious. It can zoom on land and sail on water.

The Jet Scooter is a futuristic concept that is expected to reach any place with a blink of eye. It is not the regular car vehicle but may take the spot of the cars in the future. It is based on magnetic force and could be an inspiration to future concepts.

Urban Cars

There have been several cool conceptual cars that have been designed for the purpose of urban transportation. Most of these concepts are trendy, easily maneuverable, and economical. Conceptual car designed for urban usage have always been studied and designed, and here are some really cool ones.

The Stackable City Cars can’t be owned by a single person but is designed for public transportation. People can use a car, and then leave it for the next person to use it. It would work well in a place like San Francisco.

Goran Marinkovic has designed the Scarab-E concept which takes into account energy consumption, passenger protection and human design. Thanks to its unconventional looks, it sure looks glamorous and is easily manoeuvrings too.

Peugeot Q is a three wheeled car that could solve parking problems in big cities. Thanks to its shape and size, it is always easy to find space in overcrowded parking lots. It also runs on electricity, making it a clean and green vehicle.

Futuristic Cars

Futuristic cars have always been a part of science fiction, and much of these cars had been designed by professional automotive designers. Many designers also design futuristic cars to be manufactured in real; too, and sometimes when they get lucky they reach the manufacturing unit as well.

The Hawk Conceptual Car was designed by Alex Hodge, and it is a bike that is disguised as a car. With a new age look, the Hawk is one of the coolest designs you can come across.

The Hydrogen Car for Peugeot resembles a futuristic pod for a family of two. What some people may not like is the lack of privacy the vehicle poses.

The Wheel Rider Concept for Yamaha is yet another futuristic and almost bizarre design and is the brainwork of Yuji Fujimura. It can seat a single driver and when it rolls down the streets, people will surely make way for it.

sci-fi future |Jet-powered magnet quad bike flies|

We’re stepping faster into the sci-fi future than ever before, thus that demand for best possible modes to commute is surging with the day. In their realm to design cars for the future,thdudesign has conceptualized a jet-powered quad bike for travel and pleasure alike. The wheels on the magnet quad, as thdudesign calls it, are fixed with magnetic force, which allow them to move up and down near their axis and also function as suspension for the bike. We’ve seen a few jet-powered vehicles in our time, so the possibility of magnet quad making real cannot be ruled out, but when a render shows the bike in air, I wonder, is a flying bike feasible? Also, will a bike that shows no glazing of any kind for the rider be a wise proposition when the bike’s tail is spitting fire and the rider’s speeding at nth miles per hour?

YEE flying car concept is a new paradigm for future transportation

The modes of transport are going to switch from land to air in times to come, because the congestion in the city will make it almost impossible for one to commute through lanes. Keeping this thing in mind, three students (Pan Jiazhi, Zhu Wenxi and Lai Zexin) from the South China University of Technology has envisioned a concept car that could be turned into a plane once the operation is switched to the flying mode through transformation. This is made possible by upturning two front wheels sideways and two back wheels outside allowing people to fly over the overcrowded roads to reach their destination on time. Also, the integration of the propeller into the back wheels endues the vehicle with two distinct mobile modes. YEE is super cool and a stunning racer while on the ground but when it spreads out its back wheels and starts its propeller, it can fly along a special air route.

Concept Car Looks Like A Reverse Tricycle

Here’s a really cool looking concept car made by a pure amateur found on Coroflot portfolios. The car doesn’t have a name or any specs, but the design was eye-catching enough to encourage us to reveal him to the public. Matus Prochaczka has a passion for automobile design and this concept car shows the passion to be one he works on.

The design brings back memories of our old tricycles we rode as children. Although there are two rear wheels, they are placed parallel from each other in one powerful design bust. If this guy hasn’t been picked up by a major company yet, he will be very soon.

Maybach Amphibious Luxury Vehicle Concept

We have seen a number of amphibious vehicles, and despite the obvious costs involved there isn’t much of luxury to speak of, even in concepts. If there really were a number of production amphibious vehicles, we guess the luxury line would have followed suit quickly, and along would have come something like this Maybach amphibious luxury vehicle concept.

Created by designer Tamas Siklosi, this amphibious Maybach Limousine concept works as a high-class luxury car on the land, and a trimaran ship with openable hard sails when in water. There’s a 1:5 scale clay model to go along with the design. The Maybach Limousine concept was displayed at the 2007 Autosaloon in Frankfurt.

Futuristic SUV

This SUV concept puts the “Sports” part firmly in the utility vehicle. It has been created to be specially suited for carrying gear like mountain bikes and jet skis through rough terrain.

This SUV concept puts the “Sports” part firmly in the utility vehicle. It has been created to be specially suited for carrying gear like mountain bikes and jet skis through rough terrain. The concept has a fairly interesting/ aggressive styling, and its open rear would likely not just provide a bay for carrying jet skis, but would also hold them firm, preventing unsightly scratches or hours of work gone into ensuring that the “cargo” remains placed firmly and securely. The SUV concept is the work of designers Mohammad Reza Shojaee, Iman Maghsoudi and Farzad Barkhordary.

Renault Presents Stunning Electric Range At Frankfurt

Electric vehicles of small proportions are beginning to emerge as the theme of this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, and the presentation of a comprehensive range of electric vehicles by Renault, dubbed the Z.E. range, was the clincher. Perhaps more important, was Renault’s commitment to begin selling its new Z.E. range at affordable prices in 2010.

From 2011, Renault will progressively roll out four electric vehicles, including two derivatives of internal-combustion vehicles. The first will be the electric version of Fluence which will initially be available in Israel and Europe. The second will be an electric version of Renault Kangoo Express, intended primarily for fleet and business use. The range of electric vehicles will then expand to cover other segments, with two vehicles that will be designed from scratch as electric vehicles. Derived from the Twizy Z.E. Concept, the third vehicle will target urban mobility. The fourth vehicle, which takes it inspiration from Zoe Z.E. Concept, will go on sale at the beginning of 2012 and will be a multi-purpose daily driver for built-up areas.

These four vehicles will cover a range of uses and customers who will nonetheless all have one thing in common: they will be entering a new era of zero-emission mobility.
