New Automotive Concept : John Villarreal

The New Automotive Concept from John Villarreal is an attempt to envision where automotive design might go in the future. As the car design is evolving with each passing day, the designer thinks supercars would get even more visceral and engaging. As a result, Automotive Concept is bold and its shape communicates stability.

The concept features a cabin similar to the cockpit of a future jet fighter and when you settle down in the racing seat, you are not looking through the canopy but at a 180 degree monitor setup. The wrap around monitor in front of you is driven by the cameras in what would be your side-view mirrors that also provide a 180 degree rear view.

Apart from this, the other advantage of using cameras is that these cameras are also night vision to allow total stealth navigation at night if you choose. The concept has two modes of operation: Speed and Cruise. In the first mode you go for the top speed, whereas in the latter you have the canopy open to enjoy the wind whipping by and the sun barely piercing your sunglasses.

This high performance super car is to be outfitted with a mid-engine twin turbo V-12 engine, capable of developing a whopping 923hp, 8200 rpm, caged inside the extruded aluminum chassis with carbon fiber components. V12 will be mated to a 6 speed mechanical gear box for that full man and machine experience. Featuring a 4 wheel independent suspension setup and a top speed of 217mph, Automotive Concept is expected to do the quarter mile in 10.7 seconds at 137 mph.

Ladybird-Tiger Electric Roadster

Ladybird-Tiger Electric Roadster

Cracking 150 mph isn't a big deal these days, but back in 1926 it was enough to make a Sunbeam Tiger called Ladybird the quickest car on the planet. A British design student has paid tribute to that remarkable car by reimagining it as an all-electric roadster.

The concept car envisioned by Ryan Skelly would commemorate the 100th anniversary of the car Henry Seagrave drove to a record-setting 152.33 mph on March 21, 1926. It's purely a styling exercise, but we like what he's done with it.

"From the outset of the project, I wanted to create a successor to a small car from a dormant British car company," Skelly told Wired.com. "It wasn't until my friend pointed out the Tiger that I fell in love with it and restarted my project on the original 1925 vehicle. It's such an amazing little vehicle with so much heritage and a testament to the British motor industry."

The futuristic Tiger designed by the Coventry University student would be as quick as it is cool.

Seagrave made his record-setting run at Southport Beach, England, in a supercharged V-12 Tiger. Skelly updates the drivetrain in Tiger Tribute Concept, envisioning a car capable of 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 160 mph. The 342-horsepower (255 kilowatt) motor would be powered by a lithium titanate battery with a four-hour recharge time and a range of 800 miles.

Phoenix concept

Practicality is the last thing anyone considers when designing concept cars. A car made of glass? Windows like gun slits? …But practicality isn’t the point. Concept cars are flights of fantasy carrying auto design into the future. Since our future will be a place where a gallon of gas costs more than a gallon of Scotch, the students at Royal College of Art designed their cars that run on things like electricity and algal fuel.”

“The beauty of a vehicle comes from the contrast of a fluid shape with precise technical elements”, added the designer.

Aetek FYK concept

The FYK concept car was developed by Norwegian company Aetek, in conjunction with and sponsored by Statoil. The FYK was designed to highlight natural and hydrogen gas powered environmentally friendly vehicles.

Statoil provide the fuel for the FYK concept car. They see the natural and hydrogen gas mixture called NaturalHy (HCNG) which consists of 8-20% hydrogen, 92-80% compressed natural gas to be a commercially viable step towards a future potential all-hydrogen market.

The FYK concept car is built almost entirely from recyclable aluminium including body, chassis, wheels, engine and even interior elements. Exterior and interior design of the FYK concept show different aluminium shaping techniques and surface treatments.

BRB-EVOLUTION Concept

There are plenty of eco-friendly cars that are around in the market today giving everyone a wide range of options to choose from when they wish to go green. 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.

Here is a sweet car concept called BRB Evolution.Daniel Bailey, the designer, figured the two of the main problems of the future in big cities would be the pollution and over population, he wanted to design a car which powered by electricity and a hydrogen fuel cell to deal with the pollution issue, while the fold-able concept is to help with the limited available parking space. This potentially doubles the amount of parking spaces! two rollers would come from the bottom, roll the car up, turn and slide the car into the space sideways, the driver would have to exit prior to the folding. This car design was inspired by Peugeot 908 and Lamborghini Murcielago, with 180 degree moon roof, this concept car definitely sleek and sexy.

This car concept is called BRB Evolution, because it has the ability of this car to fold up to 50% of its original size. Daniel Bailey, the designer, figured the two of the main problems of the future in big cities would be the pollution and over population, he wanted to design a car which powered by electricity and a hydrogen fuel cell to deal with the pollution issue, while the fold-able concept is to help with the limited available parking space. Nice to see that modern designers are more and more often coming up with designs that address specific problems which in this case happen to be pollution and lack of space.

  

The BRB Evolution is a very interesting concept apart from the name itself which is pretty nice if you ask me. The BRB is a car designed to free you up from parking hassles and it is designed to reduce the energy consumed by all those parking lots by reducing the parking space. The concept is so simple and yet so fundamentally sound that it holds your attention and you really have very little to be skeptical about. If you reduce the space of parking for each car, the parking lot accommodates more number of them leading to the requirement of less number of parking lots!

Peugeot Modif

Automobile industry has seen various changes in past few years. Trend for compact hybrid cars is at its peak now a days. Several new designs are shaped every day and there is lot more to come.
Peugeot Modif is a fabulous design for a hybrid car that will be very successful in small towns and tight places. It has a two tone color scheme and the center of this is the large rubber tube-like center shaft that allows the car to squeeze up to 88 centimeters and also provides the front of the car with flexibility to swivel from side to side 18.5 degrees for better drive.
I liked the design as it is different from traditional designs, it features white tires and large black chrome wheels with each tire having six special pads holding sensors to intimate the driver for adjustment of car according to road conditions. Inside each massive wheel is a powerful hydrogen hybrid engine. 80% of the material used to make is renewable, the a rubber element in the front part houses the oil, water and CPU.

The cockpit of the car is covered by a large bubble top one-piece window that provides the passenger and the driver with an unobstructed view up to 360 degrees. Rare view cameras on both sides constantly provide with the status of the road behind on a screen embedded on the dashboard. It also features a high-discharge red led emergency light on the top for you to cherish a V.I.P. feeling. The exhaust pipe is positioned in the center that only emits water.

Future Transportation

The EEL concept is a compact and lightweight vehicle that features functional aerodynamic construction for great energy efficiency. The compact shape of this three-wheeler allows it waving through busy traffic and in between other cars and houses only one passenger and the driver. When turning, it has been designed to lean to the particular direction allowing better control for the driver. This electric vehicle comprises bio-ethanol engine which is completely eco-friendly. When charging through a traditional power point, the covered scooter shaped vehicle looks much like a mobile phone getting charged through its charger.

All-terrain sport coupe by Batyr Ospanov

The new sports coupe by UK-based designer Batyr Ospanov is an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) that alters shape to provide commutation on both smooth and rough terrains. Powered by electric generators located at rear wheels, the two-seater has two driving modes, the road mode and the off-road mode. In the road mode, all the systems of the ATV are adapted for driving along the city traffic, while the ATV transforms its chassis for rough terrains, such as deserts, steppes and hills, in the off-road mode.

Capable of moving on all terrains, the sports coup also integrates two extra lights under the transparent bonnet. The glass parts of the body are integrated with solar cells to produce extra energy for the sports car. The enclosed cockpit ensures more safety and comfort to the passengers during challenging trips.
