still feeling nostalgic about the rides of yesteryear, in particular the 80s where Euro-made cars were rattling the dirt playground? well, don’t be cos’ as much as would love to flashback on our love for Lancia Delta, there are much to look forward to like this Audi Sport Quattro Concept. the new Sport Quattro marks the 30th birthday of the Sport Quattro first introduced at the 1983 IAA
no. what you see above is not a cartoonize Lexus. it is the Lexus LF-NX Crossover Concept, a vehicle that Lexus will be using to explore the “potential for a compact crossover within the Lexus model range”, but regardless what the Japanese luxury automaker says, we can’t really see any compactness in it or at least that’s
there are two types of concept cars: one that you know it will be made; and two, one that doesn’t. the Opel Monza Concept you see here is resigned to being the latter and much like the Volvo Concept Coupe, it will, however, offer an insight into the German automaker’s styling and technology in future.
for a moment we got pretty excited when Volvo’s new Senior Vice President of Design, Thomas Ingeniath referred the Volvo Concept Coupe as not a futuristic dream car. alas, that does not necessary means what you here would come to fruition as is, but rather it points toward the capability of Volvo’s new architecture which will be carried forward to future Volvo cars.
while the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept Grand Coupe may not be a reality, it does hint on what the future holds for American luxury coupes, or at least for Cadillac. this four-seater concept bears all the trade of a sports car such as steeply raked windscreen, stretched bonnet, short overhang and more, topped off with the luxury and impeccable details that the American automaker
as far as hard specs are concerned, little is known about this “Aurum Dust” colored BMW Concept M4 Coupe – which means there’s no information of what goes under the hood or whatsoever. the wrap was taken off this striking concept on August 15 at the BMW opening media reception for the iconic annual Pebble Beach/Monterey automobile weekend.
if you think a crossover or SUV is a little too “family” for you by the way of its look, then perhaps the Subaru VIZIV Concept Sports Crossover might change your perception. in the growing segment of sports coupe/crossover concept cars (or simply sports crossover), the VIZIV may just be in time to join the bandwagon
as you can see from the design sketch above, this is pretty much a concept, but not as one would have expected from luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz. it is a golf cart, albeit being a concept, it is still a cart unlike any others. the concept sketch pretty much speaks for themselves, but one thing that you are probably not aware of is, this vehicle is the result
remember the super cool Hyundai Elantra Coupe-based Zombie Survival Machine from last year’s SDCC? well, fans of both Hyundai and Walkers are treated to another in this year’s San Diego Comic-Con and this time round, it is the Veloster Turbo that’s being dressed up for the fight against the undead.
you are probably as disappointed as us seeing the word “concept” still stuck with the Active Tourer, but at least for eager Beemer fans, some news is better than no news. no? first introduced last year, the BMW Concept Active Tourer will be heading to Outdoor Friedrichshafen, bearing an additional model name “Outdoor” (hence, the BMW Concept Active Tourer Outdoor)
what could be hotter than the Jaguar F-TYPE? in Jaguar’s context, probably none (lets leave the C-X75 out of this debate for now), but Jag’s Director of Design, Ian Callum has something else in mind when it comes to hot ride and that’s the Jaguar Project 7 Concept – a ride which the British marque will be showing off at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
