The flow of wind
Since the appearance of the first car its design has been significantly changed. Modern cars are very fast, comfortable, and aerodynamic, yet it's not the limit of the development in this domain. Thus Japanese designers have recently managed to create quite a futuristic car that looks very unusual.This latest design direction of Mazda Company was called "Taiki". The appearance of such an original design was inspired by the shape and flow of wind. Their challenge was to create "a design that visually expresses the flow of air and the atmosphere" - called "taiki" in Japanese. The shape of the car's back, especially of the back wheels, has no right lines, but curves. It's so unusual that it's hardly possible to imagine that there was something of this kind before. Due to its shape given concept seems to be extremely aerodynamic, yet no other information about its characteristic features is available.
Anyway this gadget can be considered as a very forward thinking one. I would say that it's a breath of fresh air in a slightly stale auto show season. However it's not the fact that there will be a significant number of proponents of such a bold design.
10 Concept Cars
The Airflow by Pierre Sabas of
Yun Woo Jeong's "Transform" might be the offspring of an unholy marriage between Optimus Prime and a Morgan. It has a transparent elastic top that can be stretched to any shape to suit the driver's needs and mood. "I've been interested in 'transformables' since I was a boy," says Jeong. "It is common to boys across the world. How many transformable robots have passed over our memories? Why do they generate so much enthusiasm? Some say it's childish. But I assume it is human instinct."
Raquel Aparicio Lopez's "Soft Vehicle" is made of foam. You stash your stuff in a boot, er, trunk that opens with a zipper and you climb in through "a sensual slit" and sit in a seat surrounded by impact absorbing "jelly balls." The Spanish designer believes softer cars are safer cars. "I would like to extrapolate rubber, textile and other soft materials into vehicle design," she says.
Sergio Loureiro Da Silva designed "Phoenix" for maximum efficiency. There's a turbine up front, a kinetic axis -- whatever that is -- and electric motors at the back. The Spanish designer likens the vehicle to a motorcycle with a sidecar, but it looks to us like something you'd see in a pod race on Tattooine.
Paul Howse wanted to offer a new definition of luxury and exclusivity with "Enigma." It's an electric vehicle that ideally would get its power from the sun, and the passenger compartment uses magnetic levitation to isolate it from the rest of the car.
Joonas Vartola's "Iomega" isn't so much a car as a "relaxation capsule" with a chauffeur. Vartola says the shape of a swan inspired the exterior. Driver and passengers sit in separate compartments, which "fosters the idea of this being a passenger car rather than the usual driver's car architecture," the Finnish designer says.
"I'm thinking about a new way of consuming cars," says Italian designer Ilaria Sacco, by allowing a high level of personalization. She calls the car "My Lounge," and it takes an Ikea approach to design by allowing buyers to pick everything that goes into it, "like how you would design your living room." (Hex wrench not included.)
Dong Kyu Kim of South Korea was influenced by fashion design, and "Chameleon" takes its styling cues from shirt collars, blowing scarves and women's eyeliner. The car is asymmetrical because, "like a good dress, it will never be perfect," and paramagnetic technology allows it to change colors so it'll always match your outfit.
None of the technology Spanish designer Arturo Peralta Nogueras has planned for his vehicle exists yet, but if you're gonna dream, dream big. "Senses" runs on algae and features an exterior made of "solid hologram technology," whatever that is. It's also got artificial intelligence, and the interior "evolves and adapts to its environment, passengers and scenarios," though we're not sure how. No matter. It sure looks cool.
Jon Radbrink of Sweden also has a thing for glass. He used a whole lot of it on "Lexus Nuaero," his gas-electric hybrid. "I was inspired by architecture and used glass in conjunction with other materials to create a layered effect that gives the feeling of transparency for the occupants," he says. The Pilkington judges liked it enough to give it the Best Use of Glazing -- that means glass -- award.
Called the Lexus Nuaero, it features motors in the wheels and a touch-screen dashboard where the information and controls can be moved around.

Hydrogen-powered Circulus
If you are sick and tired of being in those heavy traffic situations and you tend to use ecologically friendly products, this marvelous concept car will be your favorite model. This interesting car concept turns out to be powered by hydrogen. Called, Circulus this smart car is capable of turning 360 degrees which makes it highly maneuverable.This ecologically conscious car concept feature one of the kind design as well as powerful capabilities including omni directional wheels or shape shifting rear. If your technological appetite is not yet satisfied, this breathtaking three wheeled car features one spherical front tire which makes it so maneuverable turning 360 degrees effortlessly.
This concept idea might be quite useful in those congested roads, so every experience driver would appreciate it. Two tires at the rear are designed to gain more stability on roads as well as ideal braking abilities. Its spherical tire is fuelled by an independent motor which seems to be operating on hydrogen.
Its motor is mounted at the rear part of the car. Its side body panels are constructed from recycled plastic along with polyurethane also used for seats construction. As for the rest of the parts, they are supposed to be made of aluminum making sure the car is light weight.
New GM Concept Car
New GM Concept Car
"We're on a journey," admitted Wayne Cherry, General Motor's vice president of design, when questioned at the automaker's top-secret design studios near Detroit. "This is a mission...We're redesigning technology..."The impressive design feat, which is said to create a superbly smooth ride by levitating the body away from the chassis, may well be based on top-secret work in the government's closely guarded Area 51 -- where many think a crashed alien UFO has been reverse engineered to discover the principles of extraterrestrial science.
Quoted in an article in the highly respected Edmonds, "You can think of the first 100 years of automotive technology as volume one," said Larry Burns, GM vice president of research, development and planning. "And Autonomy as volume two."
Edmonds also noted that "the surface... has a pale-colored, smooth, shiny hard plastic exterior much like Apple Computer's latest laptop, the iBook," raising speculation that the computer maker and GM may well be in a collusive arrangement to develop and use alien spacecraft technology for tough, aerodynamic exteriors.
Rumors of similar developments by Ford Motor Company have so far remained unconfirmed; but with intense competition among the largest auto makers to include alien technology in new designs, there can be no doubt that they are not far behind.
The new Mustang
The New Mustang
I found a really exciting prototype show car while traipsing around SEMA in Las Vegas today. Seems that Galpin Auto Sports of Van Nuys took a Ford Mustang GT convertible and went COMPLETELY NUTS on it. Sure, it started out as a 2008 Mustang GT, but it is completely unrecognizable now! Hand made composite body, voice command controled, even DUAL retractible steering wheels (left and right side drive, thanks to drive-by-wire technology)!!!
In the deep, 3 layer, candy purple paint, it looks like something the Joker might drive… if he could handle the 1000 horsepower twin supercharged power!
Of course, it sits so low to ground here, at a height that it would be impractical on most any road or track, but thanks to air ride technologies’ suspension system, the computer constantly gauges the road for the optimum ride height and firmness of the ride itself. and still, it “cuts” quite a shape… and those headlights!
Here’s a nice big picture for ya:
UNfortunately, when you come around the side of the car, you see get the impression that the car’s designer was heavily influenced by his childhood playthings… Mattel Hot Wheels®.
Still, Galpin Auto Sports was aiming for a vehicle straight from the car shows of the 60’s (Autorama) that sparked people’s imagination and excitement. Given that this vehicle is COMPLETELY road worthy and driveable and not just some clay work with paint and chrome stuck on it… I’d say they goal has been FAR exceeded!
