Jaguar XKX Concept

The XKX Jaguar is a new generation electric concept car, aimed at pushing both performance and power efficiency to a new level, while at the same time tries to keep the glorious design lines of the Jaguar brand. Inspired by the classic 1960’s jaguar e-type, the concept features fresh solutions, a cutting-edge energy feedback, unique new aerodynamics, as well as improved electric power.
The concept was created with combined effort from the Bahrain based Skyrill design studio and the Albanian designer Marin Myftiu in order to create a next generation electric vehicle.
Both from the front and the back if feature tunnel-like air-scoops that allow air to pass through passageways all the way through the car, and reduce overall drag and resistance. That not only means a faster car, but also a more efficient car.
Another innovative development in the car includes layer piezoelectric cells which covers the entire body of Jaguar XKX. These cells when stimulated by the airflow over the vehicle during its movement could produce electricity that can recharge the car’s battery. The technology function as a dynamo, faster the vehicle goes more the electricity is generated.
Reviewing the research statistic that damage side mirrors, is has been the second most highly reported act of car damage, so skyrill developed ‘disappearing’ side mirrors. With a thickness of 1-centimeter, the mirrors fit snugly into a shallow hatch in the doorpiece when the car is parked and unfolding into working position when the vehicle is started.
Despite of all the technological advantages that we see in the car, it is very unlikely that the car will make it to real production in near future, and even if it does then surely the cost of this Jaguar XKX Concept can be seriously high.

Porsche 913

Forgetting the Panamera, Cayenne and Macan, Porsche offer a pretty well-rounded sports car range. Starting with the Boxster and Cayman, and moving up the multitude of variations of the Porsche 911, all the way up to the 918 Spyder supercar. But there is a HUGE price gap between the top of the range 911 Turbo ($250,000 will all the options ticked), to the 918 Spyder ($800,000). Somewhere in that range Porsche could surely offer something to compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. Something like the 913 possibly? Conceived by the fertile mind of Rene Garcia, a professional 3D modeller who has created conceptual vehicles and highly detailed models for some of the biggest movies of the past decade, including the Matrix Trilogy, Transformers, the latest Star Trekthrillers and The Avengers, the Porsche 913 is an exquisitely rendered design in every detail. It has a bit of the 918 Spyder about it, but there’s also a lot of originality to the design. It looks like a Porsche, but a

Lamborghini Canto – What the Murcielago could have been?

Back in the late 1990s, when Lamborghini were starting to realise they needed a replacement for the ageing Diablo, they started reviewing design proposals from various automotive design firms. Zagato’s offering was the Zagato L147 SuperDiablo, or as it was to be later known, the Lamborghini Canto. The Lamborghini Canto first appeared in 1998, it arrived only two years after another Zagato designed Lamborghini concept had been unveiled, the Diablo-based Raptor. The cars shared a number of similar features, including the wraparound windows, triangular lateral air intakes, and trademark double-bubble roof. However of the two, the earlier Raptor was probably the better looking. Clearly Ferdinand Piech – head of the Volkswagen Group – thought so too. After VW bought Lamborghini in 1999, one of his first decisions was to review the Canto’s development and redesign the concept. The car was re-engineered and the rear extensively restyled to include smaller air intakes. The engine was also up

BMW GINA

The BMW GINA changes the design rulebook concept which features clever use of materials and technology. The GINA acronym stands for 'Geometry In "N" Adaptions'. The 'N' stands for infinite. Quite logical really... While at first glance the BMW GINA appears to be nothing more than a modified and stretched BMW Z4. As soon as the doors are opened it reveals its true nature. Covering the lightweight spaceframe of the BMW GINA are not conventional metal bodypanels, but instead an elastic, rubber-like material is stretched across the structural members and wire frame to form an attractive design which follows BMW's flame surfacing styling philosophy. This elastic material has given BMW's designers more options when designing various moving parts of the GINA concept. The doors for example have no shut line along their front edge as the material just moves with the door. At the rear the electro-hydraulic adjustable spoiler rises and lowers under the skin of
