AutoMotto

There are many concept cars around today thanks to the way technology has spread its wings to help even the most simple of innovators give shape to their ideas. There are also many concept cars that are around which will hopefully one day hit the road as they seem to be a wonderful alternate to the available models filled with green features and loaded with design improvements that really are of great use in everyday life. The modern car design is function specific and most often targets a certain sect of the consumers in a very astute fashion so as to ensure that it carves a niche for itself. The BRB Evolution is for the eco-conscious consumer who hates to spin around in circles for a parking lot. In other words- it is for all of us!

I always thought that the name Cobra was a bit too much for this car and more so when you consider that the not so modified versions of the car are not half as cool as this one and surely not going to stun you with their venomous look. This one though has been thoroughly redone to make sure that it actually becomes a pretty competitive car on its own. Unfortunately we have not been able to garner much about what lies under the hood of this modified version.

If you thought that we were here only to transport you across the planet on the most lavish vehicles and get you the bling and the bang of the auto world which is limited to cars, bikes and trikes then you could not be more far off from truth. We love the entire universe as much we love our own planet and if given a chance we would want to cover every mile of it on the best possible car. (Car and not bike as it is my personal choice). Of course we are not irresponsible enough to trash the universe along in the magical journey and hence it would be preferably in a car that does zero-harm and leaves everything untouched. That may not yet be possible but we do have a rover that can weave its way on the Martian surface!

We have always been so fascinated about flying and getting our feet off the ground that for the majority part of uncovering new and daring concept designs of modern cars has been spent on finding the ones which take the wheels off of the roads. While it is true that cars that could move on water do the same thing, the opportunity for such designs is limited to say the least. That is exactly why Per Brickstad has designed a car that moves on rail and on road simultaneously and it is designed with intent to reduce pollution, increase efficiency and change the ways of public transport. So would it really work?

This is an absolutely fantastic concept and something that will surely become a huge hit among the young guys who one day might end up making this a part of the X-Games on ESPN. Wheebo is a colorful and wonderful combination of a bike that comes with the thrills of skateboarding but will avoid many of those spills. The Wheebo is largely akin to the circus bike that you see the clowns on but this one comes with an extra wheel and a very colorful mudguard and that should please a lot of people who complain about lack of mudguards in modern concept designs!

The pride and joy of German officers in World War II, Tatra T87 is also a prized piece in the extensive and eclectic collection of celebrated American entertainer Jay Leno. Not being just an airheaded collector with a seriously unhindered cash flow, Leno actually knows his cars almost inside out and leaves almost no stones unturned in giving everyone an expansive and detailed summary of the history and geography of the car that was once nicknamed Czechoslovakia’s “Secret Weapon”.

Good news car lovers. A successor to the legendary Citroen 2CV is rumored to be in the works albeit in a thoroughly modern interpretation of the classic design. And designer David Portela is reinterpreting the classic model in celebration. In order to retain the charm of the original 2CV, the concept features the same curved bonnet, slab sides and covered rear wheels. Keeping trademark details such as the slatted bonnet, the concept features flush modernistic panoramic windows and Steampunky exteriors.

Martin Conquest 1200 is a remarkable 1130cc customized bike that caters specially to people with disabilities from the waist down. Also the world’s first series-manufactured high performance motorcycle that can be driven from a wheelchair the bike provides a level of performance and independence as drivers can roll their wheelchairs right onto the vehicle via an automated access ramp and enjoy biking via hand operated controls.

Caravans may not be really a home that many prefer but many might like to hire one out when they are on that long family trip to somewhere or maybe it is a bit of a compulsion for some people to live in. In any case, it is not very often that you happen to get new concept designs for a caravan and especially not ones that are as carefully and wonderfully crafted as this one. The new Caravan Concept by designer and creator Menno Kroezen is quite simple and attractive making it standout in a world surrounded by millions of concept cars and bikes.

More and more of the concept car designs are taking center stage with various sites encouraging every individual who believes that they have the talent to design a car. The Dechno Racer is one of the models that falls in the exact same category as it is apparently crafted by another young and imaginative designer who sees his car being a lot more than the conventional car which actually reveals very little.

The Nice MyCar - a competitor for the G-Wiz - two-seat electric city car will be in sight at the British Motor Show on Wednesday. Designed by Giugiaro design studio and built in Hong Kong, MyCar is being offered with two years’ warranty. What’s really nice about NICE is its running cost that’s very low. Owners would have to pay just about 2p per mile, not to miss; lot depends upon electricity tariff used to charge the automobile. MyCar can achieve 40mph, and around can stay powered for 40 miles between recharges. Specifications include a steel tubular space frame, with fiberglass-reinforced plastic panels, a roll bar, disc brakes, and all round self-regulating suspension. What keep me interested are electric windows and mirrors, a radio/MP3 player, 14″ alloy wheels, remote central locking, and an LCD display; further options include 15″ alloys, cooled/heated seats, a boot rack and even a leather interior. It also has a glass roof or a removable fiberglass roof panel, a forward-folding passenger seat, laptop dock, and most importantly has Bluetooth phone connectivity. You certainly can’t ask for more in just £8,995; what you need to do is wait till autumn; it’s not that distant.

Any concept vehicle that is designed today on the Cg frames has a very long way to go before it actually transcends in to a bit of a reality. For some apparent reasons such as the language barrier we may not really have as much info about this concept car as we should and that is still fine as this seems to be something that just needs the looks to get its point across. This concept vehicle is designed surely for the tomorrow’s world and is a design that will hit a chord with the young.

This is something that apparently was showcased in the 1st Philippine International Motor Show Transportation Design Contest which is held in the World Trade Center Manila and won the 1st place. While I’m not going to be the one who is going to pass a quick judgment on the design or how exactly this is not that awesome as we do not have enough information on it, it still looks barely anything that actually would win something substantial to me. The difficult part is that we just do not know what the exact idea of the project is and what is it specifically aimed at.

In a bid to rediscover personality and individualism, the urban individual car concept created by designer Mihai Stamati aims at providing a sort of personal space to the drivers of the ever so populated metropolis of the future. The concept acknowledges the need for maintaining contact and communication with the surroundings and this facet is well reflected in the transparent elements of the design.

The brainchild of designers Chiara Ripalti and Ilaria Scipione, Grillo is an innovative vehicle that combines the comforts of a caravan with the pleasure of riding a trike. Drawing upon the auto rickshaws so famous in the Asian countries, the concept basically seeks to become an ideal rental vehicle to be taken along on holidays. With an expressive and modern shape, the camping vehicle features a comfy seat for the passengers as well as a luggage rack.
