concept car

Comparing an SUV with a Truck many will say is like comparing an apple to an orange. Is a SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) considered a truck? Or better yet is a truck a Sports Utility Vehicle? To figure that out we need to define what a truck really is. Can the two be separated into two different categories? Like this: a truck has an open back bed and the SUV is a heavier sporty van.
Truck owners will say that a truck is a pickup in which you can carry 4'x8' sheets plus. The SUV owner has this to say: a SUV is a passenger vehicle which can combine the towing capacity and strength of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a minivan meshed with on or off road capability.
With today’s gas prices there are quite a few Trucks and SUVs for sale countrywide. The following are important facts to consider when looking for new or used trucks and SUVs.
Drive/Tranny: Most trucks come with either manual and automatic transmissions as well as two- and four-wheel drive---SUVs also have both transmission options however most SUV’s are 4x4s
Size: Trucks fall into the compact or full-size category, although there are a couple considered mid-size---SUVs come built on either truck or car chassis.
Safety: Most trucks offer such safety equipment as front air-bags and seat-belts for each passenger---SUVs come with the same.
Passenger Capacity: Trucks have 3 body styles. 1) Regular cab has 2 doors and seats 2-3 comfortably. 2) Extended cab mainly adds extra storage space behind the front seats. 3) Full sized Crew cab version can seat 3 additional passengers with 4 doors---SUVs offer full seating in the front for 2 and 3 in the real with 4 side doors.

Transportation Of The Future - RCA Green Concept Cars

future

The Royal College of Art turns 40 years of existence next year and their fame will be honored by the graduates of their vehicle design program who are one the best in the world. As everything in the future should be green, they decided to design green and sustainable concepts for the cars of the future.

futuristic

Although the cars are very futuristic and they look like they will destroy the environment, all the concepts will feature energy efficient engines with few emission and also they will be made of glass which will allow them to be very aerodynamic.

rocket

RCA unveiled these cutting-edge cars that look like rockets and one of them is kind of a combination between a motorcycle and a sidecar. One of the best designs is the Airflow concept which was envisioned by Pierre Sabas and it will feature an exterior made of glass, ultra-weight materials and an electric engine.

impressive

Another impressive concept car is Nuaero which was designed by Jon Radbrink and it will be based on airfoils for aerodynamics, also a venturi-tunnel, and an underbody inspired by a catamaran.

Sergio Loureir

Other designs include Sergio Loureiro Da Silva’s Pheonix, Nereus concept by Ceri Yorath, a concept car from Ilaria Sacco, Joonas Vartola’s really attractive Iomega, Noah concept by Jung Hoon Rhee, Enigma concept by Paul Howse (one of my favorites) and a concept car from Yunwoo Jeong.

Attractive Concepts Cars

A concept car can also be known as show cars which demonstrate new futuristic design, technology, improved safety devices, and radical changes which are still under consideration whether to go for mainstream production. Concepts cars have amazing designs you probably see in sci-fi movies. It turns heads instantly if seen out in the road, but rarely seen because it is usually in a showcase display for innovation and amusement. Of course these concepts cars would not be cheap enough for the “Average Joe” income to purchase, but still extraordinary to lay eyes on. Many car manufacture companies have designed their own concept cars. Here are some neat looking concept cars

$650,000

Ferrari had 1,000 orders for the $650,000 Enzo after the car was unveiled in 2002, but the company stuck to its decision to build only 399 cars (plus one for the pope). By my math, that means it left $390,000,000 on the table in the name of exclusivity and almighty demand. With those 600 never-built Enzos, Ferrari essentially invested $390 million in its own legend.

Because nothing whips rich people into a frenzy quite like telling them they can’t have something.

8. Peraves Monotracer

Designer: Swiss Manufacturer Peraves

Status : Being limitedly produced (100 units each year)

Engine: BMW 1200 CC, 130 hp

Credibility: Combines the aptitude of a car and a bike

The Peraves Monotracer combines the features of a sports bike and a sports car and if any of you doubt it, just as a substantiation, it took Peraves some 90 prototypes and 12 million kilometers to be sure that they live up to the rumored repute . When the driver dives into a corner a retractable stabilizer wheel is positioned in less than a half a second, enabling the bike to lean up to 52 degrees more, than most sport bikes in their lifetime.

Solar Cars

In the last times lots of scientists and the general society have been discussing a lot about the creation and development of ecological cars, more environment friendly.
One of the types of ecological cars is the group of solar cars.
As its own name suggests, solar cars are cars that obtain energy through the sun energy. In this process the radiation coming from the sun is collected by solar panels. These solar panels are going to transform solar energy in electric energy, allowing the car to work without the use of any pollutant gases and with a lot of autonomy.
Anyway, to achieve a good performance with this kind of vehicles it is needed to think about the car’s structure very well before, in fact, developing it. We must be aware that the bigger the area of solar panels the bigger the energy produced. But, we must also be aware of the fact that we can’t create a very big car in order to produce more energy. So, the key to success is the way the car is developed and its design.
There is a tournament related to solar cars and it’s called the World Solar Challenge. This challenge is a competition organized in Australia in which some teams compete in a race with solar cars, trying to get the best results and the best performance of the vehicle. In this challenge some results revealed that some these solar cars are able to make 3000 kilometers with the same energy used with 5 liters of gasoline, which is very good and clearly reveals the low usage of energy in all this process.
These cars aren’t available to the general society yet, being only models to be shown in technology events or specific competitions, like the race challenge mentioned above.

Ecological Cars

Nowadays, one of the main problems that scientists and society discuss every day is the environment and pollution of the environment. Some scientists made studies about pollution in Earth and they came to the conclusion that in a short period of time we will be able to notice catastrophic changes in Earth’s environment and surface. To clear this problem, or at least to turn it less bad, some associations and organizations have been organizing some campaigns. The goal of this kind of campaigns is to decrease pollution levels and to improve the environment and the life conditions on earth.
One of the most important pollutants of the air is the smoke coming from cars’ exhaust pipes. If we think about the number of gases emitted by these exhaust pipes, the number of kilometers of each car and the number of cars all over the world, we will conclude that the pollution levels on Earth are going wild.
To prevent this situation and help Earth’s atmosphere, some scientists and car factories had the idea of creating ecological cars.
Ecological cars are cars made thinking about the environment and the reduction of the emission of pollutants. Some of them aren’t even fueled by gas, avoiding the emission of carbon gas to the atmosphere.
As mentioned above, there are different types of ecological cars, there’s not a standard model for an ecological car. Some examples of the most important types of ecological cars: solar cars, hydrogen cars, electric cars and cars fueled by biofuel.
Anyway, we must be aware that there’s no car completely environment friendly. But, this kind of cars are still very important, since they help a lot in the reduction of pollution all over the world.
Ecological cars aren’t the solution yet, but so far they’re the best way we can protect our planet and our atmosphere.

Hydrogen Cars

Nowadays cars have a very negative impact in environment because they use energy coming from fossil fuels. The big problem of fossil fuels is that their burning emits some gases that have a very bad impact in environment and in people’s health. On the other hand, fossil fuels are not renewable, which means that if we use them more than we should one day they will end and we will have no more fuel.
But, what if we could use other ways of obtaining energy for our cars? Other ways that would be environment friendly and would help us to preserve our planet?
Yes, now it’s possible. Besides the regular fossil fuels, it’s not possible to get energy for our cars using another gas, hydrogen.
Hydrogen is one of the gases that we use to breath, being the most abundant element in the whole universe.
In this way, we can easily notice that this gas is not negative to the atmosphere nor to the human health, being a great option for an alternative way of producing energy to cars.
Anyway, using hydrogen to produce energy also has some problems related. First of all, its industrial production emits some pollutants to the atmosphere. Then, only 1/10 of the total of hydrogen produced is, in fact, used to keep our car working.
Still, hydrogen is a very good alternative, at least much better than using fossil fuels.

Electric Cars

A great alternative to the normal and pollutant cars are, among other options, is the electric car.
As its own name suggests, this cars are fueled by electricity, whether they are or they are not hybrid.
We can divide the energy origin in two groups: the energy coming from gas fuel and the energy coming from electricity. Hybrid cars are cars that work with both kinds of energy. But, cars that only work with electricity are not hybrid, therefore they aren’t fueled by any kind of fossil fuels, so they’re not so pollutant.
Normally, these kinds of cars are equipped with some rechargeable batteries that can be recharged in any electrical outlet and give your car some autonomy. Anyway, the disadvantages of electrical cars are that these kind of cars don’t have that much autonomy and the vehicle can only work very slowly, being incapable of having the same driving velocity when compared to regular cars.
Among all the alternatives in ecological cars market, electric cars are the more developed ones. The studies and production of these cars are already in a very advanced level when compared to solar cars, for example. Some enterprises are already starting to sell electric cars. The prices are still very high, though.
Electric cars are a very good alternative in what concerns the reduction of pollution coming from vehicles. Anyway, we must notice that these cars are fueled by electricity and recharged in electric outlets. Where is electricity coming from then? Yes, from the stations responsible for the production of energy, the stations that emit pollutants to the atmosphere. Well, but in any case electric car is still the best and less pollutant option.

Auto show's coolest cars

Daily News writer Patrick Huguenin takes a look some of the cars from the 2008 New York International Auto Show. First up: BEST MOVIE HERO CAR: Audi R8 V12 TDI Le Mans concept: The Audi R8 has already earned its spot in pop culture. Courteney Cox uses one to zip around Tinseltown in FX's tabloid drama "Dirt." She'd be lucky to get her hands on a Le Mans concept version, which upgrades the engine to a 12-cylinder that runs on diesel. It's got a paparazzi-chasing top speed of just under 200 mph, but it's also fuel efficient. We know James Bond loves his Aston Martins, but wouldn't fuel efficiency and lower emissions give a good guy more room to be bad?

Mitsuoka Orochi Concept Car 2006

The “Orochi Nude Top Roadstar” is a new design proposal that expands the frame of the conventional “Orochi”. There are many reasons for loving and for selecting a car. These include specifications, driving performance, environmental performance, new technologies and how well the vehicle matches your lifestyle. However, one other key reason is “design”.

Isn`t it fair to say that “design” is one of the simplest and easiest to understand reasons? Some designs just seem cool and leave a powerful impression. These designs move your spirit and sensibilities in a way that can only be described as “love at first sight”.

Our design approach is to vividly and directly appeal to one`s sight, spirit and sensitivity. The “Orochi Nude Top Roadster” exemplifies how this new approach is taking form. We applied a more open design and gull-wing doors to the previous road-version prototype “Orochi”. The name “nude top”is well suited for this beautiful and stylish design.We even went so far as to not attach any side mirrors in order to create a daring design that would bring forth this new “Orochi”. We hope that you will take aclose look at this unique design.

Basic SpecificationsOverall length: 4,587mmOverall width: 2, 060mmWheel base: 2,570mmDrive system: MR* Other detailed specifications are still undetermined as this is a design study car* The type of engine, transmission and other components have yet to be determined.

We have redone the chassis and body panels for the commercial “Orochi” currently being developed and various other preparations are being made for the start of testing. We have had many inquiries from customers eagerly awaiting the new “Orochi”. All of our employees have been working hard together with an unwavering purpose in order to realize commercialization of this car. We would like to ask these loyal customers to wait just a little bit longer.
