Hyundai Blue2

The Hyundai Blue2 is a FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) which debuted at the 2011 Seoul Motor Show.
The Blue2 gets its name from a combination of Hyundai's environmentally-friendly division 'Blue Drive', and the number '2' - as in H2, the symbol for hydrogen.
The Hyundai Blue2 concept is powered by a fuel cell electric system that delivers 120 hp (90kW) of power, and fuel economy of 82 mpg (34.9km/l). The impressive fuel economy is aided by low-resistance tires and alloy wheels which are optimized to improve aerodynamic performance.
Despite its eco-credentials the Hyundai Blue2 is quite an imposing machine. The solid stance coupled with the no-nonsense design means that it looks more like a midrange luxury car than an affordable Hyundai. And that's good because Hyundai say that the Blue2; "shows a blueprint for future sedans."
The Blue2's styling was driven by the design department's keywords of 'Intersected Flow'. What that means in words normal humans use is that the Blue2 has flowing body contours which are broken up by additional styling features - the black stripe which underscores the doors for example. The Hyundai Blue2's condition is visible via unique images on the exterior of the car displayed on the outside via LED screen panels, which are located on both the front and rear of the car. Conventional side mirrors are replaced by side cameras and a roof camera.
The Hyundai Blue2 concept also features a 'welcome system' which recognizes the driver and also opens the door automatically. The exterior styling is mirrored inside the Blue2, with asymmetrically-designed dashboards and doors. Wider seats enable people to get in and out of the vehicle more comfortably.
Hyundai combined the gauge cluster and center console, equipping it with an advanced Transparent Organic Light Emitting Diode (TOLED) monitor and ultra-light tempered glass, called Gorilla Glass, providing more accurate and vivid graphic information. The infotainment system is operated by a haptic wheel and motion sensor that respond to the driver's touch and hand movements. Rounding out the unique interior features are an ionizer which cleans and refreshes the air in the cabin and antibacterial leather.

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton...

Lamborghini Diamante

Thomas Granjard's Final year degree project at Coventry University Lamborghini Diamante University project (not developed with Lamborghini) Trailer We're in the year 2023. Oil is getting depleted on our planet. However, mobility will continue to exist, it needs to. Such mobility not only includes boring electric vehicles for the city but also supersportcars with alternative drive systems. Flat, fast, extreme – cars that still set everyone in the mood for mobility without having a bad conscience – such as the eco-friendly Diamante Concept Car. This concept combines exclusivity and extremes in one single supersportcar. The name says it all. The most valuable mineral in the world stands for luxury, but also for naturalness, pureness, hardness and beauty – exactly as the dream car with the white collar. Its extremely flat silhouette is flanked by sharply outlined edges, the curved surface appears to be unpolished, rough, precious. The aerodynamic system uses movable wings to ...

Ferrari FF

A new chapter in Ferrari’s rich history begins with this, the FF. The designation is simply shorthand for ‘Ferrari Four’, and not only is it a two-door 'shooting brake' estate, but for the first time ever a Ferrari has four-wheel drive capability. This new Ferrari FF sounds intriguing. Does it have conventional 4wd system? No. Instead the FF has a two-speed ‘box (plus reverse) mounted ahead of the engine that takes its drive directly from the crank. The ‘box drives the front wheels via wet clutches that can adjust the torque going to each front wheel independently (essentially by varying degrees of slip). No transfer diff, no connection to the rear wheels. The advantages are light weight, fast response time and, crucially, the ability to pre-empt wheelspin and start to help the rear tyres before they go beyond the limit of grip and traction. And in perfect conditions the FF should remain completely rear-driven to retain that agility so central to the mode...
