Concept cars are a rage, no doubt and Toyota has been well known for its IT skills all over the world. But recently it astonished people with the launch of its two door Fun-Vii as it wasn’t one of Toyota’s genre. The car that looked more like a giant computer mouse was more hip than an example of company’s high end engineering skills. <span id="more-504"></span></p>
<p>The car comes equipped with chic gadgety bolt-ons, navigation concierge and series of panel to change the look of car. Many functions can also be controlled with a smartphone. However, there are few features that no other car would love to incorporate in their cars. Can you believe a car to have a human-looking hologram discussing directions and diverting driver’s attention?</p>
<p>Experts believe that Toyota has lost its mind by designing a car which will demean the company’s reputation. No doubt the car will get eyeballs at the auto shows and attention from the media, but we wonder how many people will actually buy such a concept car.</p>

This shockproof MPV is definitely going to replace Ford Fusion in the coming time. The biggest revelation is the change look of the doors. Unlike the traditional doors, the back doors of Ford B-MAX Concept car open are shockproof sliding doors.<br />
<blockquote>
<p>Though, this concept is not entirely new and has been used by the Opel Meriva, however, this sliding doors give it a different and good look. These read sliding doors also doesn’t possess B-pillar.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span id="more-399"></span><br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>The unique opening of the doors gives the car immense width of almost 1.5 meters. Ford also declared that this new model is ready for production. The safety features and functions in this car are assured with the use of boron steel doors, which are of great strength. These boron steel doors can easily absorb the forced impact that is created by accidents. Moreover, the roof of the car, the chassy and the doors are all connected through a system, which keeps them sealed.
<p>Another unique feature of the Ford B-MAX Concept is the Ford Powershift double clutch with automatic transmission. </p>

The seating scheme of the car is 3 +1 and it also has three doors concept.
<p>The are many interesting features of the Mini Rocketman Concept that reminds us of the 1959 version of the Mini by Alec Issigonis. However, there are many other aspects that are unique like the length of Rocketman, which is more than the old Mini Minor by 37 cm. And the Rocketman Concept is 1,907 m wide and 1,398 m in tall than the old version.</p>
<p><span id="more-397"></span>
<p>The Mini Rocketman Concept is created on the lines of spaceframe carbon architecture.&nbsp; It is designed in a way so as to keep less weight and to give an average of 3 liters of fuel per 100 km.
<p>The Mini Rocketman Concept car created some amazing innovative technique in case of the doors of the car, which is interesting.

The concept car was first showcased in the Paris Show recently. We are here to find out if the model did justice to the original car.
<p>The new Quattro replaces the extended length and box kind style of the original Quattro with its sleek and compact size to give it an elegant look. The 1984 model Quattro sports car has features like a parallel bonnet slot, trapezoidal C-pillar and a reserved spoiler, which has not been used in the new concept.</p>
<p><span id="more-377"></span>
<p>The engineering of the Quattro concept has been done with a futuristic prospect. Features like reduced weight and length, aluminium chassis, carbon-fibre bonnet, body panels, low roofline, and the RS5’s platform are being used in the new concept.
<p>Even the interior of the car is nicely done and the original rear seats have been replaced by with Sparco racing seats. Even the driver’s seat has been lowered and the car a red push button is being used to start the car engine.
<p>The Quattro concept car is all set to hit the roads. But the important question is that whether Audi would make it into production. While we don’t have the answer yet, but the excitement that the Quattro concept has generated makes it evident that the car would get into production soon. </p>

Created with the help of his associates at Shelby American workshop, this concept car is one of the many creations done at the workshop since decades.
<p>The initial work done by Shelby workshop was on a Ford Mustang, which they used to add automotive creativity and made a masterpiece out of it. People saw it and admired it with wonder.</p>
<p><span id="more-367"></span>
<p>In the current model, the Shelby Code Red concept car, the engine transmits as much as 1,000 horsepower of to its rear wheel. The creators expect the car to reach a speed of up to 200 miles per hour. In collaboration with Chatsworth, California based Nelson Racing Engines, Shelby American Workshop created a 5.4-liter engine supplied with a twin fuel system.
<p>Amongst other features, the car has an electronic controller to decrease the turbo boost when the car runs at lower speed. This feature helps the car to avoid burning of the rubber near the 20-inch rear wheels.
<p>In addition, features like 9-inch Currie rear accompanied with 3.50 gears, six-piston brakes, special cooling ducts, adjustable suspension, one-piece drive shaft, short-throw shifter, and air-locker etc. make the drive further smooth.
<p>Sadly, Code Red is a concept car and is not available for sale. But, you can definitely get yourself a Shelby American enhanced Mustangs that available for sale right now. </p>

Though it was not quite a difficult task for the designer to create the car, but the challenge was to convince users to buy an electric version of the vehicle. </p>
<p><span id="more-356"></span>
<p><img title="LamborghiniMinotauro02" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="318" alt="LamborghiniMinotauro02" src="http://automotorshows.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/LamborghiniMinotauro02.jpg" width="450" border="0">Named as Lamborghini “Minotauro&#8221;, the new range of electric Lamborghini is fitted with asynchronous motors. These motors divide the power of the car into 70% rear and 30% front axle. The electricity that the car requires is supplied by a Li-Tec flatcell battery pack. This pack is placed in the rear. Moreover, the KERS system in the front also supports it. <img title="LamborghiniMinotauro01" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="318" alt="LamborghiniMinotauro01" src="http://automotorshows.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/LamborghiniMinotauro01.jpg" width="450" border="0">
<p>The car has an additional back seat, which can be entered through the extra-long door on the passenger side. Though electric cars are in the market since quite a few years, but the common users are still not totally convinced to use them. So, the designer had a challenge here to seek people to like and use this luxury electric Lamborghini Minotauro. </p>

<p>Opel has given indications that a production model of the concept which has been named the GTC Paris is next in line. According to design chief of the brand, Mark Adams, this concept is best described as pure, bold and iconic in terms of appearance. He also said that this concept bears testimony to the fact that Opel has an emotional side as well.&nbsp; Opel’s new design language is “German precision meeting sculptural artistry”.
<p>According to Opel, the GTC Paris is 4460 mm long and has enough space for 5 people to fit in. Most legendary cars have been strained from the side and many of them can be easily sketched with the help of 2-3 sharp lines. The designers have taken special care in ensuring that there is maximum tension with limited number of lined for the GTC Paris. These lines are instrumental in creating the tension as well as the sculpted shape. They also serve as the platform to which the surfacing and highlights react.
<p>The 3 door Astra is likely to retain the GTC as it goes for sale in 2011. This coupe follows the hatchback from Astra that went on sale in 2009 and a station wagon slated to debut in Paris. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;<img title="Hyundai i-flow Concept front" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="223" alt="Hyundai i-flow Concept front" src="http://automotorshows.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/HyundaiiflowConceptfront.jpg" width="450" border="0">
<p>Hyundai’s i-flow concept car made its debut in the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year<br />and it carries forward Hyundai’s new evocative form language called “fluidic sculpture”.<br />The elegant, flowing lines create a bionic and futuristic shape and at the same time<br />contribute immensely to the cars aerodynamics. The carbon emission of this car is very<br />low at 85g/km and the fuel consumption is very low too at 3l/100km. The diesel hybrid<br />power train from Hyundai also plays a major role in creating such fuel efficient vehicle. </p>
<p><span id="more-328"></span>
<p>The i-flow concept is 4.780mm long and has a wheelbase of 2.800mm and it is a pioneer<br />in the traditional European market. The design is almost dramatic, like a sculpture and<br />both the interior as well as the exterior is very elegantly done but without losing the<br />sportiness.
<p><img title="Hyundai i-flow Concept" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="191" alt="Hyundai i-flow Concept" src="http://automotorshows.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/HyundaiiflowConcept.jpg" width="450" border="0">The name itself gives an idea of the car, which justifies the name to a tee. It has a flowing<br />design and is very stylish. Hyundai is expected to launch another car in similar lines next<br />year and it looks to give the i-flow some real competition.
<p>It is no doubt a great car both in terms of looks as well as performance, but the USP of<br />this car is not the flowing design but the eco friendly engine. Hyundai has always been<br />committed towards the environment and has invested great deal in creating technology<br />that will minimize the carbon emission, thus protecting the environment. The i-flow with<br />its flowing design and environment friendly as well as fuel efficient features will surely<br />attract a good audience. </p>
