Sun FLower Jaguar

Solar Powered Sunflower Jaguar

Welcome to the future - where plants take us by surprise and seal our fates as the dear or dying species on this planet! Our only defense is the “Jaguar Mark XXI.” Designer Christopher Pollard has made this nature defense vehicle. It drives like a mother. Then when parked, the black panels activate. These panels are photovoltaic, lift from the car automatically, and face the sun, like the sunflower. Scary, right?

It’s totally science. Watch the video. You’ll see it.

The “living” panels signify “the synergy between the car’s energy replenishing function and the natural science from which it takes its inspiration.” The photovoltaic panels use solar power - a power you may have heard of - to power the car. Additional details bist written below. It’s like a -oh what to do you call it - Transformer!

Green car / in disguise!

Car of Magnetic Proportions

Car of Magnetic Proportions

You’ve got the need for the speed in the streets. You’ve got to go faster than your crappy metal-on-metal jalopy can take you. Faster, harder, stronger! Check out the Nissan-Motivity 400C concept by Tryi Yeh. The 400C has the Maglev engine system in each tire, making it quite floaty and speedy. The 400C has a wild, new triangle shape that reduces drag, while the driver seat controls retain their classic build (although, as you’ll see, you still might have a time getting used to the seat!)

A little more info on the Maglev concept:

The use of the physical properties of magnetic fields generated by superconducting magnets to cause an object (as a vehicle) to float above a solid surface.

- Merriam Webster Dictionary

This method has the potential to be faster, quieter and smoother than wheeled mass transit systems. The technology has the potential to exceed 4,000 mph (6,400 km/h) if deployed in an evacuated tunnel.

- Wikipedia

The above speed(s) are, of course, assuming you’re rocking a bullet train on the magnetic-levitation tracks. With a car using maglev wheels, the benefit is much, much less. But a benefit nonetheless. Rock them wheels!

Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 (2010)

Can these be the first official pictures of the upcoming Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2? We think so and we think they look amazing, what a sexy machine this will be! with an expect 550 horsepower from the V10 mounted aft of the cockpit and the lighter weight should make the serious car driver happy.

BRB Evolution

Designer Daniel Bailey came up with concept car that will both turn heads and challenge conventional ideas called the BRB Evolution. It’s time to evolve in our ways when it comes to the cars we drive, the pollution that they cause, and the ever increasing traffic congestion in urban areas. Concerned with all of these things, Bailey came up with his concept for a foldable car that would be powered by electricity and a hydrogen fuel cell with an exterior inspired by a Peugeot 908 and Lamborghini Murcielago. This super sleek space saver has us picking our jaws up from off the floor.

Toyota FT-HS Concept

Pairing a potent hybrid powertrain with essential sports-car fundamentals, the FT-HS is a mid-priced sports car that integrates ecology and emotion in a concept that addresses the question, “What is a suitable sports car for the 21st century?”

Boasting a powerful V6 3.5L engine, the FT-HS is coupled with Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive® to produce a target power output of approximately 400 horsepower and a projected zero-to-60 acceleration in the four-second range. At a mid-priced market position, the FT-HS would be a true “attainable exotic” with 21st-century performance.

A sculpted front and rear remove mass around key functional components, while the roof has a distinctive scooped-out section designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and provide head room at the key areas.

The FT-HS’s interior features create a dedicated driver’s cockpit that includes a cross-car instrument panel structure and delta-wing driver pod. An integrated instrument panel surrounds the driver, creating an enclosed pod effect. Armrests flow seamlessly into the door and surrounding interior. Seating is optimized for a lightweight appearance and function: The seating accommodates four and then converts to a two-seater when the roof retracts.

we could see the next iteration of the FT-HS concept at the Tokyo Motor Show this November, with the production model debuting sometime in 2010 before its on-sale date the following year.

Plymouth Road Runner Concept

Plymouth Road Runner Concept

Posted by: Vandit | Comments

Runner. This concept is based on the Dodge Challenger, It takes its cues from the ‘71-72 models, and in Leonhard’s mind, it would be powered by a choice of 5.7-, 6.1- or 7.0-liter engines.

The 20-inch (front) and 22-inch (rear) wheels combine a little old-school with a new-school flavor, along with a glowing Roadrunner logo placed between the LED tail lamps.

Emil Baddal’s BMW Sportscar Concept

Iranian Designer Emil Baddal came up with this stunning lookin BMW rendering. What the engineers in Munich think about it is unknown yet, but we think they should definately take a good look at it!

BMW M Design Concept by Idries Noah

We love concept renders specially if they are as far as possible from what an auto maker would actually make, thats why we love this renders by Idries Noah. The M Concept was designed as BMW’s answer to the R8, packing a 540 hp 5.0-liter V10 mounted amidships and drawing inspiration from the Ferrari Dino, 250GTO and, of course, BMW’s own M1 Homage. According to Noah, many of the Concept’s elements were pulled from nature, particularly the sides, “where the wave is hollow when it breaks.” Rhetorical flourishes aside, we’re partial to the rear and side views, while the front end is more than a bit overwrought for a modern Bimmer.
