Cars: Concept Cars


BMW Light Visionary Model

BMW unveils a new vehicle that will definitely catch your interest. The new Light Visionary Model is a concept car that can only be described as radical. BMW developed this car using the GINA principle or Geometry and Functions In “N” Adaptions. Except for the 8-cylinder powertrain package, everything else about the Visionary Model is all new. You’ll especially be awed by its physical appearance. I think this is the exact match if you are looking for a batman vehicle. Yes, it is really that sleek. What makes it so are the four large pieces of flexible material that stretch and contract at a flick of a switch. For its maximum function, the material is waterproof and temperature-resistant.

Hybrid cars and electric cars could be the answer to your needs if you are looking for ways to save on gas expenses. These cars are manufactured in such a way that they don’t make much use of oil anymore. The biggest automobile maker, General Motors, is exploring alternatives in the electric cars area. In fact, it has given the go signal for the mass development of its electric car the Chevrolet Volt! GM gave the affirmative that by 2010 the market can already experience driving one superb electric car. So far, only a prototype has been given a test drive.

Electric Nissan Denki Cube Concept

Among Nissan’s automobile line-up, its newly debuted Denki Cube is definitely different. And I don’t say that in a negative way. The Denki Cube really stands out from the rest because of its unique design. The design is the first thing that will make you want to take a closer at it. Compared to the vehicles we usually see these days, the Denki Cube is really squarish in design, well, hence the name Cube. It is also surrounded by glass windows making it cozy and charming to look at. It also has a glass roof giving passengers an excellent view of the sky when cruising around. And another amazing thing about the Nissan Denki Cube is that it is an electronically operated vehicle.

Audi R8 Diesel

Audi unleashed its monstrous new R8 Diesel concept at the Detroit Motor Show. This is the world’s first supercar that runs on Diesel!
I use the words unleashed and monstrous because the car is truly an unbelievable strong vehicle. Only those two words can describe its capabilities and characteristics.
The Audi R8 Diesel is a melange of the diesel-powered R10 TDI and the R8 supercar.
Under a sleek, clear glass cover, it hides a powerful V12 6.0-litre twin-turbo engine, which can push the car from 0 to 100 kph in only 4.2 seconds! It’s top speed reaches 300 kph.
Its structure helps with the speed because it mainly combines lightweight aluminium panelling and an aluminium space frame, which helps keep weight to a minimum.

Mazda Taiki

Mazda let their ingenuity rule when they developed their new concept car – the Taiki car. If ever you don’t have any vision of what a futuristic car look like then you have to take a look at Taiki. Mazda already has several concept cars on their sleeve but I think Taiki beats them all in the uniqueness of its design. Mazda takes inspiration from the image of a pair of Hagoromo. A Hagoromo is a subject in the Japanese legend, it is a flowing robe that enables the to fly down from the sky.

Want a car of the future? How about the Hyundai Qarmaq CUV concept car? What is new about this car is that it makes use of GE Plastics technology. Through this technology, designers of the Qarmaq are able to develop three-dimensional shapes that give the car a whole new design that’s so unlike any other. Looking at its exterior you will see the unique C-shaped side windows that make the road below very visible. And wrapped around the whole vehicle, enclosing the C-shaped windows is the glazing area that employs the GE Lexan polycarbonate resin. This wrap around glazing draws attention to the new window design.

This concept car exudes dynamism that will make you feel the desire to own one. Strong lines and solid bodywork made possible through GE Plastics technology makes the Qarmaq CUV a one-of-a-kind and sporty vehicle of the future, maybe one that can even compete with Ferrari and Porsche.

Toyota Hybrid x concept

As car enthusiasts you probably heard of the word hybrid being used around cars nowadays. Most of the time you will notice how the faces of these people light up and become animated when they talk about hybrid cars. What is it about the hybrid cars that can elicit such enthusiasm from car lovers? It’s really all about the engine, how it works and what substance is used to make the whole vehicle system highly operational, if not environment-friendly.

Ford Interceptor

Indeed, the 2007 North American Auto Show was the biggest showcase of new automotive technologies so far this year. Concept upon concept vehicles were exhibited to the delight (and sometimes amusement) of the attendees. One of the best stand-outs among the new concept vehicles unveiled at the show was Ford’s all-new sedan concept with a rather unwieldy name, Interceptor. Based on the popular Mustang, the Interceptor is designed with performance, power and attitude in mind. It’s basically a lengthened Mustang with distinctive, bold and dramatic styling cues.
