I don’t mean take a knife and cut it into eight parts but instead follow the design that our friend Charlie has in mind for us. He has devised the Dynamically Augmenting Wheel System or simply DAWS. His aim was to design a wheel system that would allow a car to shift its center of gravity without losing its traction footprint.

DAWS is kind of inspired by a motorcycle wheel. Lemme explain, a motorcycle wheel allows you to shift or roll your body into a turn giving the bike improved maneuverability and is accomplished by having rounded wheels. This also implies that a bike wheel has a “decreased footprint size when compared to a car wheel and sacrifices traction hurting acceleration, braking and turning speed.”
DAWS essentially features eight segments that are guided on a liner bearing at the hub the wheel can shift the entire vehicle without decreasing footprint size. The motion is kinda similar to our foot movement than a conventional wheel.
The following car aims to do the following things, all at once: provide a new luxury experience and a new way of driving. Be a family car OR a personal car at any given time. Be a smart solution for the everyday tasks of the owner. Be a space for relaxation – a part of people’s living space. This is the “Volkswagen Inside.” A new luxury concept for Volkswagen, by designer Mate Bartha. A transformable luxury electric car, customizable for 4 person, 2 person, or 1 person use in seconds.
The top of the car is a large glass surface, sort of like an extension of what we know now as the sunroof. Relaxing is what is it. Smooth, dynamic lines fill the Inside, four electric wheel engines roll it along. These electric wheel engines are based on Michelins Active Wheel System, using Nanowire Lithium-Ion batteries.
Instead of just a steering wheel, all the controls to the car are attached to the driver seat, working on a drive by wire system. The car can transform from a normal, everyday 4 seat car to a 1 seater, with the driver sitting in the center of the vehicle. Comfortable and simplified.
In case you thought all the vehicles in the future we going to be drab dull pieces of green junk, think again. If this school project created by Siklosi Tamas and promoted by Daimler-Chrysler is anything to go by, we certainly are in for a lot of fun in the times to come. This amphibious limousine concept basically proposes a vehicle that can be used on land as a classic high-end sportive limousine and on water as a top-class sailing. The design uses futuristic sails that come out of the doors when on water to navigate.
 Powered by a fuel cell, the concept vehicle also houses an electric motor under the hood to live up to the green demands of the future.Peep the video below for a realistic demo of the magnificent concept.
After creating some of the best computers, phones, tablets and music players, designers are now thinking the about the future of Apple. While some come up with concept gadgets the company can produce in the future, auto designer Liviu Tudoran has come up with a concept car for Apple. Christened the iMove, the zero-emission vehicle will be propelled by electric motors and as expected, it will feature some of the best gadgetry that we’ve ever seen in a car.
The main idea is to create an Apple branded car that will break the general idea of conventional vehicle by the year 2020. Keeping in mind the main characteristics and design language of the brand, the vehicle is inspired from Apple products and the lifestyle of those who use them. The small city car is powered by electricity and will be able to seat three passengers in a variety of configurations.
The interior space shines with a full touchscreen display that covers the entire dashboard and includes a variety of gadgets to play with. The top of the iMove is inspired by Apple’s Macintosh mouse shape and can also open while on the move to give a cabriolet feeling. The exterior surface is covered with a photochromic material that allows the user to change the vehicle’s appearance using available presets.
With the intention to rid Randstad region of Netherlands, of to recurrent traffic jams, designer Maarten Timmer comes out with the solution: Aviomoto concept. The futuristic vehicle is a motorcycle plane crossover which makes it possible to hover over the jams. Designed as a true conceptual vehicle for the commuter traffic for 2020 in the Netherlands, Aviomoto’s head up display guides the pilot through the turbulent Dutch Traffic situation. Featuring the hexagonal lights that show the highway for the pilot, the vehicle has an active and comfortable flying position that gives the pilot full control of agility of the Aviomoto.
The vehicle you see here is a BMW concept. The designer, Daniel Nikonchik, imagines an elegant BMW M3 concept car for the year 2050 that appeals to all individuals who’d buy a super car purely for the status. Other than the new innovations such as Nano Paint, fiber optic door jams, fully down loadable interiors, the BMW concept features millions of nano sized cameras incorporated with the exterior paint, allowing the occupant see through the body panels even though there is no transplant windows.
The data from the cameras are sent to the depth perceiving high definition displays that not only allows for stereoscopic camera angles, but for new continuous ideas in the body shapes without having to account for the traditional greenhouse as well as night vision capabilities and the ability to zoom in on road signs not yet in viewing distance. The vehicle comes out to be an ideal one for those who love performance with shifter kart like handling.
Coming to the powertrain of the vehicle, the BMW has hydrogen electric propulsion. It features high torque electric motors that are powered by hydrogen power cells and engine’s only by product is pure H2O. The rear wheel drive vehicle is designed to open like a flower which will add more to the status of the owner while getting out of the vehicle. While getting in the car, it does exactly the opposite. Once the owner is in, vehicle folds back down, then “seals” itself back together.
Additionally, the vehicle also features a fully digital interior with touch screen displays. This allows the occupant to customize the interior to his/her liking, moving gauges and controls to more convenient locations. The individual will also have the ability to log onto the companies’ website to download (similar to downloading an app for a smart phone) different interior packages for a small price.
As the Paris Motor Show is around the corner, the list of vehicles unwrapped before their premier is getting longer. The latest one is from French carmaker, Peugeot. The brand has unveiled an all electric, all wheel drive EX1 concept, powered by one electric motor per axle, each supplying 170bhp and a constant 177lb ft of torque. Electric motors get the vital juice from 30kWh of lithium ion batteries onboard.
The concept has been created as a celebration to mark the Marque’s 200th anniversary. The EX1, as per Peugeot, will be able to hit 0-100km/h in well under 3.0 sec at its optimum settings. This all-carbon fiber two-seater roadster weighs just less than 1000kg and measures only 0.9m in height and 1.77 m in width, its length has not been specified.Peugeot EX1 electric racer has been built to push the boundaries of electric vehicle performance and has already dispatched a standing quarter mile in 14.4sec, a standing kilometre in 28.16sec and a standing mile in 41.09sec at the Linas-Montlhery autodrome. Also, a number of other timed acceleration runs which, if confirmed by the FIA, will make it the world’s fastest accelerating EV over six different distances.

The other features of the vehicle include two sport bucket seats, a carbon fiber passenger cell, a harness and a safety cell which has been designed to also offer the roll-over protection. The Peugeot hasn’t dropped any info about the range of batteries or price either.
Hyundai Gator concept car is an answer to non traditional fuel powered engine drag race car in more futuristic and fashionable package, because it is inspired by drag race car a while back in sixties.
In this concept car, the futuristic case is able to protect driver against roll effect that could lead the driver to death or serious injury. If you think to drive this concept car you need a steering wheel, you are wrong .. the drivers controls uses a side stick controls.
The brainchild of Slavche Tanevski of Munich University of Applied Sciences, Mercedes-Benz Nimbus concept was the part of a project completed during an internship at Mercedes Exterior Design Studio. The Nimbus is a Mercedes Benz car taxi with an innovative layout, designed as a new visual and practical solution for the crowded cities in 2025.
The environmental concerns are also firmly dealt with and the Mercedes-Benz Nimbus is propelled by four hub mounted electric motors supported by the lithium ion batteries under the floor. This results in placing the driver’s seat forward and spare space for some extra rows. The drivers sits in the middle and that gives him excellent visibility due to the absence of front struts and a glass dome.
If someone asks what this vehicle should be called, it’s a sheer fun vehicle with go anywhere capacity. The brainchild of UK based concept designer, Philip Pauley, the Halo Intersceptor concept can morph into a jet, a helicopter, or a boat. All you need to do is slip on some extra parts and poof.
The Halo Intersceptor is part Doc Brown-edition flying DeLorean, part Centauri’s car from The Last Starfighter, part Kanye wet dream and works like a Transformer. The concept features gull-wing doors, a top speed of a 311-mile-per-hour, gets a sprint from 0-62mph in 2.3 seconds and has a range of 700 miles. The vehicle comes with base component i.e. car cockpit which the press materials describe as “a four seater USB stick that is designed to outperform any other private vehicle on earth.”
From the cockpit, the occupant can throw one of the three Halo attachments: Halo 120, Halo 46 and Halo 22. Wherein Halo 120 converts the vehicle into a little private jet that can climb 25,890 feet a minute, Halo 46 is a helicopter with a seating capacity for four and Halo 22 is a 36-foot-long powerboat with a race-bred double hull and an engine you can throttle up to 63 knots.
 The concept is a pure idle fancy with scant details of how you’d attach all the parts which makes the expectations rare of this vehicle hitting the dealerships anytime soon. However, Halo Intersceptor project is a roadmap for boundary pushing Auto Manufacturers to follow.
