| | Cool BMW concept car | | 2008-06-25 17:11:00 | | It's a slow news day. You gotta love summer.I came across this video of the BMW GINA concept car. The idea behind this car is that the skin acts more like a malleable cover than a rigid-metallic material that requires all manner of hinges, seams, and joints. You gotta love BMW.Macenstein mentioned that it would be cool to see this sort of design concept in future MacBook models, and that got me thinking. Would this concept work in the mobile space?As sleek as handsets like the iPhone and Touch are, the joints and seams inherent to these handsets, nay, all handsets, keep them from attaining a truly clean design. What if handsets were covered in a material similar to what we see in this video. Morphing handsets with LEDs lighting up from beneath the smooth skin - all without any unseemly edges or joints.Would you buy a handset with virtually no exterior design markings? A sort of blank exterior that can be changed to fit different functions? What if phones adapted to context? I'd buy one | | By: BMW Cars News | | |

| BMW GINA Light Visionary Model Concept Car Revealed | | 2008-06-12 09:19:00 | | Would you like to have a car that can assume different shapes? You may think technology has not gone so far, but complicated things can be made out of simple ideas. Just check out the images on this article. They may seem to refer to different vehicles, but they are only different views BMW new concept car-BMW GINA concept, a vehicle that can do exactly this, or else, change its shape in many ways. The Bavarian automaker has named it GINA Light Visionary Model Concept Car. And the car can assume different shapes due to the material its body is built from: cloth.The fabric is placed over a meshwork of metal wires that can move, controlled by eletro-hydraulic devices. As you can imagine, this is the way the car finds to change its shape as many times as the person behind the wheel decides to do so. GINA, which stands for Geometry and Functions In Adaptions, does not change only the exterior, but also the interior.

| | 2009 BMW M3 Concept Car | | 2008-04-18 11:06:40 | | The BMW M3 Concept Car.Its very name is a symbol for unique performance on the racetrack and in everyday traffic. For two decades, BMW M3 has embodied the athletic heart of the brand in its most fundamental and succinct form. Its dominating role in motor sports and the ultimate driving experience it affords the driver on the road are inseparably intertwined. The qualities on which this synthesis is founded have given the BMW M3 the exceptional status it enjoys the world over. At BMW M GmbH, engineers have persisted in continuing this success story with the presentation of the new BMW M3 Concept Car. The concept study being presented to the public for the first time at the 77th International Motor Show in Geneva (8th to 18th of March, 2007) gives a first impression of what a future BMW M3 might look like.The basic form for the BMW M3 Concept Car is a derivative of the new BMW 3 Series Coupé.

It is a fastback sedan that features many new innovations for BMW, such as door handles that only come out when sensors detect motion. Unconfirmed rumors suggest this concept may see production in the form of the new BMW 8 Series.

Local companies have typically muddled along with dismal-looking cars that at best rip-off other brands' styling, and at auto shows in Europe and the U.S. their displays are consigned | | By: My Blog | | |

| | The Kia Kee Sports Concept Car | | 2008-01-15 09:44:00 | | If the Kia Kee Sports Coupe Concept car is any indication of where Kia's design in terms of cars is headed, then the future is looking mighty good for this company. According to Kia's spokesperson, the Kia Kee communicates the design language that will be seen in all future Kia products.All I have to say is--about time. Kia cars are usually a bore to look at but the Kia Kee Sports Coupe made me did a double take. It has sleek lines and proportions and has a nice yummy yellow color, though I prefer my sports cars in red.The Kia Kee Sports Coupe has a V6 engine and a 2.7 liter MUE-II engine that can produce 197 horsepower, very fitting for a sports coupe.

| | New Concept Car: Hummer HX | | 2008-01-11 07:42:00 | | That Hummer plans to continue to downsize and create a Jeep Wrangler–sized H4 has been one of the worst-kept secrets in the industry. Each new Hummer entry has been smaller than the one before it.But for three new designers at General Motors, the timing couldn’t have been better. The recent graduates of the College for Creative Studies in Detroit were hired by GM a couple years ago, about the time the automaker decided it wanted a concept in a new segment to augment the mid-size H3 and the full-size H2 SUVs.From the separate designs of David Rojas, Min Young Kang, and Robert Jablonski came the HX concept, sketches of which are included in our photo gallery. It’s the same width as the H3, but this open-air, four-passenger off-roader rides on a 103-inch wheelbase that is 10 inches shorter than the H3’s.GM will gauge public reaction to the HX at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, as well as at the Chicago show in February, to see if this is the design direction for the long-awaited H4. The concept explores the idea of a two-door fastback Hummer, says Martin Walsh, Hummer general manager, and is designed to appeal to affluent young buyers aged 20 to 30.If the response is favorable, little stands in the way of production—this concept is a runner. It would be more premium than the Wrangler, which would be among its competitors.The HX is a body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive SUV on its own chassis (GM didn’t have an existing platform it could use). The young designers offered a modern take on the Hummer grille, and the concept has a standard built-in winch in the front, full underbody protection, and 35-inch tires. The suspension is independent up front and has a solid axle in the rear. Under the hood is the 3.6-liter, direct-injection V-6 from the Cadillac CTS that generates 304 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.The concept is designed to run on biofuels. For those of you hankering to get 30-percent-worse fuel economy, Walsh confirms that | | By: My Blog | | |
| | New Concept Car: Ford Explorer America | | 2008-01-06 21:19:00 | | Not long ago, it would have been unthinkable that Ford, the automaker that defined the mid-size SUV with its Explorer in 1990, would even consider abandoning the category in which it once reigned as sales king. But exit signs have been growing in number as the automaker has fiercely embraced the crossover craze, leaving other segments, such as minivans, in favor of car-based utes.But the bread-and-butter Explorer! If you need to see it to believe it, go to the Ford stand at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit for a firsthand look at the Ford Explorer America concept. It shows where Ford is taking mid-size utility: to a car platform in the next five years. “In this range of vehicle, unibody is a great solution,” says designer Freeman Thomas.Being a concept, some liberties were taken. There are no B-pillars in this design study. And it has sliding rear doors to make the loading involved in everyday chores easier, but Thomas says that’s okay because the silhouette | | By: My Blog | | |
| | New Concept Car: Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT2 | | 2008-01-04 18:09:00 | | Since opening its first design studio last month, Marek Reichman and his team have been busy. And now Aston Martin Racing has revealed the first impressions of its new GT2 racing car, a new addition which will make Aston Martin the sole manufacturer to offer cars in every GT racing category.Known as the Vantage GT2, the new car is based on the V8 engined Aston Martin Vantage road car but features a more aggressive (and vented) hood, an air intake recessed below the gaping grille, bulging wheel arches subtly concealing a wider track and a slew of carbon fiber additions. For the first time, Aston Martin Racing is designing this car to run on either standard race fuel or E85 bio-ethanol from the outset instead of adapting the car to run on the greener fuel as it did last year with the DBRS9. | | By: My Blog | | |
| | New Concept Car: Hyundai HDC | | 2008-01-03 21:37:00 | | At the end of November, Hyundai revealed the new HDC at the Guangzhou Auto Show a Chines model of the US Elantra. Though the model was badged a concept, the HDC is the first of what is shaping up to be a barrage of Chinese specific vehicles scheduled to be revealed by the Korean automaker in the near future.Penned at the Namyang Design Center in South Korea, specifically for the Chinese market, the level of change in the design relative to a North American spec Elantra is significant. Nearly every panel of the car has been altered even subtly, hinting just how serious Hyundai is taking the Chinese market.The front face of the new car has a much sharper image compared with the US counterpart, led by aggressive headlamps and a chrome-clad grille. The wider grille and slimmer lamps also helps to balance out the proportion of the volume around the face, where the US spec's grille-to-lamp ratio is less than ideal. The production release of the HDC is due in March 2008. | | By: My Blog | | |
| | New Concept Car: Mercedes Vision GLK Freeside | | 2008-01-03 08:39:00 | | Mercedes-Benz will unveil its next model, the GLK compact crossover, at the Detroit auto show. Sort of. In Detroit, it'll be showing a pre-production model guised as a concept, dubbed the Vision GLK Freeside. The concept vehicle looks nearly identical to the undisguised production model recently caught by a spy shooter during the filming of "Sex and the City: The Movie" in Los Angeles.All that seems to separate the Vision GLK from the spied vehicle are its 20-inch wheels the concept's off-color cladding that we can only hope won't be a production feature -- even GM has given that up. The vehicle is powered by a 170-horsepower, 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel engine featuring the automaker's Bluetec emissions-reducing technology.When the production GLK arrives, it will reportedly come with two gas engine options, both of which are available on the C-Class (the vehicle is said to be based on a C-Class wagon), a 228-horspower 3.0-liter and a 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6.

It's the fifth concept in Mazda's Nagare (flow) series and the visual realization of zoom zoom. If you say so, Franz.But then the car comes roaring down Laguna Seca's pit lane. I can't find the words. It looks so...so...bitchin! I've regressed to sputtering seventh-grade superlatives.Wicked. Sick. Badass, yo.Furai's a concept that's breathtakingly simple on paper, yet fiendishly complicated in execution: "Let's take a full race chassis and drop a concept-car body on top."Of course, there's more to it than that -- you need an engine, in this case a 458-horsepower, triple-rotor race-ready unit running on pure ethanol (E100) -- the first rotary to do so. Mazda refers to the rotary/ethanol combo as sustainable zoom zoom -- not that flowing fields of corn will spring to mind when the Furai hits the stand at the rapidly approaching 2008 Detroit auto show.Furai was | | By: My Blog | | |
| | New Concept Car: Toyota A-BAT | | 2007-12-29 01:09:00 | | Toyota returns to its compact-truck roots with its latest concept vehicle A-BAT (Advanced Breakthrough Aero Truck) making its world debut at the North American International Auto Show in January. The A-BAT uses a hybrid powertrain reported to provide modern versatility, roominess, and style for a new kind of buyer."Driving from the suburbs to the city is a way of life for many people," says Kevin Hunter, president, Calty Design Research, Inc. "We've taken Toyota's truck heritage to a different level by envisioning a vehicle capable of maneuvering the suburbs as well as dirt roads. This compact truck is as comfortable for long commutes as it is for road trips. It can accommodate outdoor toys and home-improvement supplies. Plus, customers benefit from the hybrid powertrain's low emissions and fuel economy." | | By: My Blog | | |
| | New Concept Car: Rinspeed Squba | | 2007-12-25 07:52:00 | | Those wacky Swiss concept car makers at Rinspeed are at it again, this time with a creation called the 'sQuba' - the world's first real diving car. Scheduled to be unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show in March, the car 'looks almost like it just came out of a James Bond movie', according to the press release.Though the fact that it can (allegedly) travel up to 10 meters under water, the concept itself is not cutting edge design in aesthetic terms. Instead it looks like a modified version of Lotus's Elise, or the Tesla all-electric sports coupe, albeit with some gills on the front fenders and shark fins around the B-pillar thrown in for good measure. The light weight body is made of futuristic Carbon Nano Tube components which enclose the driver and passenger and supplies them with fresh breathing air through a self-contained on-board system. Still, it makes you wonder what an under water-going vessel is doing with a targa top.While on dry land, the vehicle propels itself autonomously | | By: My Blog | | |
| | Audi confirms ’stunning’ concept car for Detroit | | 2007-12-20 21:48:44 | |
Audi will be using the upcoming North American International Auto Show
in Detroit to show off a ‘stunning’ new concept car. The German luxury
brand also plans to have a world premiere of a new model. Both these
cars will be unveiled during Audi’s press conference at the show, which
will be broadcast worldwide.
While Audi has provided no indication as to what each car will be, it
is believed that the concept will be based on the R8. According to our
previous report, Audi expects to release a V10-powered R8 (possibly
known as the RS8) around September next year, and a preview of this
would certainly help in allocating quite a few cars before they’ve even
gotten off the production line. However with a R8 convertible set for
2009, it could be either one.
As for the other car, a facelifted A3 is due to be available in June
2008, making it most likely that this will be Audi’s world premiere
model.

| | New Concept Car: Nissan Forum | | 2007-12-20 08:13:00 | | After Nissan teased us with the sketches of the Forum concept in November and December, the firm has finally released official images of the 'exploratory design concept' developed by Nissan Design America in La Jolla, CA. It will be unveiled at the NAIAS in January.The exterior design of the MPV is a basic one-box form, but adds a wide stance, high beltline and slightly aggressive front end appearance. LED lights feature front and rear, with a subtle LED light bar accenting the grille and hood designs. Design innovations include 90-degree opening front doors devoid of B-pillars - to facilitate access to the 2nd and 3rd row seats.Inside, the Forum is fitted with leather-appointed pedestal-style front seats and a cockpit area surrounded by wood and aluminum. A 'floating' IP design blends communications technology with simple controls and includes mood lighting under the upper and lower console areas.

| | Rinspeed sQuba Concept Car features dive and drive | | 2007-12-19 12:21:55 | | Mover Q your amphibious car designs are redundant, maybe they were good enough for the previous spies but the next-gen demands a more synced-up version. In case you need to take pointers, make sure you are there at the Geneva Motor Show (March 6th thru 16th, 2008), where Swiss design company Rinspeed will showcase their sQuba Concept Car. The makers claim that it is the world's first real diving car. And if its aquatic feats were not enough, the car can (at the push of a button) drive autonomously. It can dive to the depth of up to 10 meters (33 feet).The "sQuba" fulfills Rinspeed's boss Frank M. Rinderknecht long cherished dream of creating something that marries fictitious movie concepts to reality. Thus taking inspiration from "The spy who loved me", sQuba features an electric motor with powerful torque that drives the rear wheels. The thrust on the water is ensured by two propellers in the stern and two powerful jet drives in the bow propel the vehicle under water while diving.

This is one of the best-looking concept car coupes that I have ever seen. The Audi Cross Cabriolet Concept Car has amazing styling. The grill looks exotic and the profile of this amazing coupe looks lean and mean in black. Many of the concept cars for 2007 and 2008 have been sleek two door coupes. I am glad to see the concept cars leaning toward the coupes because that would indicate that the future car selections will begin to offer many more cool and exotic two-door models. | | By: Custom Car Cruiser | | |

| | New Concept Car: Mazdaspeed 6 | | 2007-12-14 17:17:00 | | Mazda is all geared up to show this Mazdaspeed 6 at January's Tokyo Auto Salon custom and tuner show.Officially, this is the 'Mazda Atenza Mazdaspeed Concept,' (Atenza being the Japanese model name for the Mazda 6) and according to a Mazda source in Tokyo, it is just that - a concept.With lowered body and trick 10-spoke alloys, this "concept" obviously points the way to a successor to the modestly successful 2.3-litre turbocharged 4WD Mazda 6 MPS.But according to a Mazda insider, no specific model plan on an MPS successor has been signed off, so this Tokyo Auto Salon car goes under the lights as a "what if" teaser to gauge reaction, with as yet no tech details revealed of what's underneath. | | By: My Blog | | |
| | New Concept Car: Land Rover LRX | | 2007-12-13 20:21:00 | | You're looking at Land Rover's next big thing. The LRX concept making its debut at the Detroit show is small, sporty, and designed to be as luxurious as any Landie. It could go on sale in three years or so for more money than the 10-inch-longer LR2/Discovery. It's Land Rover's Mini Cooper or Audi TT says design director Gerry McGovern, showing off his first concept since lWith a sports-car-fast windshield, low, sloping roofline, and wheels pushed out to the four corners, it looks longer than it is in the vacuum of a single-car studio showing. Note how the shoulderline rises faster than the beltline. The C-pillars have see-through openings leading into a rather squat rear window. These cues combine with traditional Land Rover exterior design elements; hexagonal grille, vents atop the power-bulge hood and with the vent shape repeated in the front fenders, dark wheel-lip accents and 20-inch wheels. The hood opens clamshell-style and the power tailgate is two-piece, top- and bottom-hin | | By: My Blog | | |

| | Volvo ReCharge Plug-In Hybrid Concept Car | | 2007-09-11 08:00:00 | | This is another concept car from the Frankfurt Auto Show, also geared around hybrid power. Unlike GM's Opel Flextreme, Volvo's ReCharge seems to differ in using an electric motor in each wheel hub as the driving force. Again allowing battery power until it is exhausted, then using an ICE (internal combustion motor) to provide power.

| | Opel Flextreme Diesel-Electric Concept Car | | 2007-09-11 08:00:00 | | OK, so it's a car and not a boat, but the technology is something right out of what I want for my boat. Small diesel (I may go gas, but...) engine running a generator to charge a battery pack which provides the motive force. GM is touting this electric power design at the Frankfurt Auto Show with their new Opel Flextreme concept car.
This design has some simplicity over my Prius and its hybrid design in that the internal combustion motor isn't connected directly to the drive wheels. Its only purpose is to run at its most efficient rate and charge the batteries if needed. The car can run for quite a ways on battery only after being charged from shore based power (see, I got a boat reference in there). If you don't have a chance to recharge, the diesel kicks in and away you continue.
I just think this type of technology is going to keep growing, and as it becomes used more and more in the auto industry, the advances will trickle down to the boating world.
