UNIQUE CONCEPT CARS - that can be drive in 2020!

It is damn expensive to produce a concept car and realise every single dream of a crazy engineer. Computer graphics here takes a huge part. Nowadays conceptualists cannot stop working on sketches of a future car. Instead of steam or gasoline-powered engines they use electrical ones or naturally renewing energy. These are the technologies of tomorrow. If the first automobile looked more like a bicycle, future cars today refer to the unidentified flying objects or sky rockets.

Computer graphics is extremely favorable for modeling these fantasies. It allows a designer anything: to play with forms, textures, volumes, colours, to choose radical designs, to apply features of favourite superheroes and to give a vision that a car will make you fly in speed of light. These car models are far from the reality, innovative and hundred years ahead of the casual ones. CGTrader represents a carefully selected gallery of several concept car renderings especially for your pleasure. All of them were created using 3D modeling software. (source-cgtrader.com)

So, let's go for a short trip to the future and take a glance at post-modern vehicles, and simply admire their beauty.

1) RENAULT DEZIR CONCEPT CAR

While other vehicle companies play with the power, ecology trends or extremely futuristic designs, Renault choose to play with the sensitivity. Officals of the company claim that this intriguing red concept vehicle model must evoke the passion of a potential driver. It pulses with the complete freedom of a human: blood-red colour, two-seat coupe, butterfly doors and red leather interior. It is not surprising that for the first time it was showcased at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, in the city of love. Renault made a plan to create the series of concept cars that would be modeled after the stages of life that a Renault customer might encounter. In companys own words their customers will fall in love, discover the world, start a family, work, have fun and become wise. In this case, DeZir concept symbolizes the love stage.



2) F1 FERRARI CONCEPT

Imagine F1 Ferrari wild race car that is wheelless. It still maintains many features of nowadays typical Ferrari fireball, but it flies. C'mon, I guess F1 would never be the same again. Actually, the main idea was to pimp a base design of the current Formula 1 car and add something extraordinary, truly futuristic. I honestly think that these fireballs fly each race. Csaba Kiss, a designer of this dream Ferrari, says that he knows that technically this vehicle would not be able to fly, but.. who knows, maybe in a galaxy, far-far away, a car like this exists.



3) T2 CONCEPT

Actually, lots of designers are fighting for the brighter future with as little combustion of gas, as possible, "greener" cars, lighter materials, and they spend a lot of time sketching these concepts on the papers. This one is the great expectation from Honda company. A vehicle is called the Taasiya T2 Concept, a mid-engine hybrid supercar that comes with a 3.5-liter V6 hybrid engine mated to two electric motors with about 350kW of power and a 0-62 mph time of just four seconds. Without a powerful engine, a car also has provocative design, strict lines and abstract forms. It completely disarms, letting a driver to feel the power of this steel beast. Let's hope that soon it will be possible.



4) LAMBORGHINI MADURA CONCEPT

It is totally black. It seems dangerous. It refers to the legendary Hollywood movies about bad boys and fast cars. This futuristic model is designed for Lamborghini company and aims to be the first hybrid car that already has a scheduled date of release in 2016. Unless it is a vehicle of the future, it is not completely environmentally-friendly. It stands for the personal eccentricity more. Lamborghini Madura is an artwork of a University student, who wished to design the first "green" car for Lamborghini. In his opinion, if you want a more eco-car, there is no necessity to break modern lines or aggressive style. It can be good looking, fast and exciting.



5) MERCEDES - BENZ BIOME CONCEPT

Mercedes-Benz BIOME futuristic model was treated as the most outlandish and ambitious concepts in L.A. Design Challenge, 2010. The creators of this design ask: What do you think, could cars be grown in a lab? And they answer, that is more likely that Mercedes-Benz BIOME is grown in a sterile laboratory than produced on a production line. This concept model is designed to be in symbiosis with the nature, called a natural technology hybrid and forming a part of our Earth's ecosystem like the leaves on a tree. The whole vehicle is designed to be made from a BioFabre material, that is lighter than metal or plastic, but stronger than steel, the entire body of a car would also be biodegradable. This is an example how futurists of Mercedes-Benz company think outside the box.


6) AUDI SHARK CONCEPT

This designer must be crazy. Probably he has been reading sci-fi books since his childhood, or he has an incredibly good imagination, or the sixth sense and future cars will look almost the same like his renderings. Kazim Doku reinterprets Audi design language in a far futuristic way. Moreover, this interpretation brought to him the award of The Desire Competition held by Domus Academy. This concept vehicle covers the idea of a car, style of a motorcycle and flight of a plane. Everything is included. Audi Shark is designed for two people, who wish for strong sensations and high level of safety.



7) FERRARI HYPER CAR HYBRID CAR CONCEPT

It is completely gorgeous. Ferrari head officers always highlight that quality is more important than quantity. So, here we have it: a doze of totally charming futuristic quality. The designer of a car Kazim Doku thinks that it is a short glance to the future after 15 years. He believes Ferrari to combine almost perfect design of Ferrari Formula 1 race car with the futuristic forms, to put fast as hell engine and make everyone to fall in love with this hybrid-automobile.



8) TRON LIGHT CYCLE REBOOT CONCEPT

Surely everyone recognizes this speed monster. It is a model of Light Cycle that appeared in 2010 movie Tron: Legacy. You would never believe, but this futuristic artwork is actually on sale for the decent price of $55,000. Moreover, you have to enlist yourself and then wait for ages to spend your salary that would be enough for the next half a year to cover living expenses. This concept vehicle features a 40,000 Watt motor powered by custom lithium-ion batteries - so it can zip you through the dark city streets at up to 100 mph. The blue glow is made possible thanks to OLED light tape, and the thing takes three hours to charge


I hope that this short trip to the future had completely convinced you that all the sci-fi enthusiasts and futurists are not just a bunch of crazy people. They definitely have a well-developed sixth sense. Moreover, cars act as aphrodisiac for inspiration, would you like to try modeling one as well..?
