Peugeot RD 3 Concept Car, One Passenger, Three Wheels

So many three wheel concept cars lately… Must be a new trend, like the touchscreen is for mobile phones. Well, at least this Peugeot concept looks fairly good and it’s been designed by Carlos Arturo Torres Tovar.

Bear in mind that the Peugeot RD 3 can become more compact during crowded traffic and low speeds, making it the ideal ride for a long distance travel.

The RD 3 displays information regarding the road you’re on, plus any other data you might require via vocal command. The RD isn’t the speedster you’re dreaming of, nor is it tomorrow’s supercar, but rather an useful urban vehicle, perfect for suburbs and sneaking in front of other automobiles.

Concept Uses Hydrogen and Electricity Plus… Windmills?!

If Batman were to change his ride, the vehicle below would stand a pretty decent chance at replacing the Batmobile. It’s got the looks, the aggressiveness and it’s even modern enough not to pollute the crime-ridden cities. The “H Car” concept was created by Thomas Pastor and can be admired below.

This futuristic car has all the design elements of a sports car, but it’s also quite luxurious. It gets its energy from electric batteries, hydrogen cells and an interesting mechanism: the rotating blades incorporated into the wheels. They act like windmills and generate the extra power needed to make the “H Car” a truly eco ride.

What do you say? Paint it black and call Batman?

Solar-powered ‘Touch Down’ car moves at the speed of an aircraft

Winner of the Silver Award of Best Harmonious Beauty at the First “Science & Future” International Concept Car Design Contest, the “Touch Down” by designer Guo Ke is a car concept that breaks the shackles of tradition to take you at the speed of an aircraft. Allowing in-wheel drive as it includes electric motors in its wide tires, the futuristic car features a low body with eye-catching front and rear lights. Running on battery powered by either solar power or wind power plant, the sustainable vehicle also includes hydraulic chair lift device.

The battery system comprises six high-capacity batteries, which can remove separately for recharging, if you don’t wanna go to the charging station and replace your battery pack with a fully recharged battery. The Touch Down also touts a screen in the middle of the steering wheel to display all the necessary information.
