Top 5 Coolest Concept Cars
The concept cars are showcased in order to propagate a new style, technology or designing. The concept cars are unveiled to learn the reaction to a new features and factors. Below given are the coolest concept cars of all times.
Mercedes-Benz Bionic
The Mercedes-Benz bionic car is a concept vehicle. The car is built based on examples in nature. Bionics is a blend of biology and technology. The ides of high-strength materials, dirt-repellent coatings, low-friction surfaces and practical Velcro fastenings are borrowed from nature. It is for the first time that the Mercedes-Benz bionic car came into being due to the combined effort of the engineers at the Mercedes-Benz Technology Center (MTC) and DaimlerChrysler Research. These teams searched for a specific instance in nature that has the shape and structure matching their ideas for an aerodynamic, safe, spacious and environmentally compatible car.
The boxfish was what the team found. More than having an angular body, it is also an excellent swimmer that has a cube-shaped structure that is not at all a hindrance. The outer skin of the boxfish has a firm suit of armour that gives the body of the fish great rigidity, protects it from injury. The boxfish is thus an ideal example of rigidity and aerodynamics and a very good choice for better aerodynamics. And thus the boxfish became the model for a so far distinctive automotive development project.
The concept car is equipped with a 103 kW/140-hp direct-injection diesel engine. It has a fuel efficiency of 4.3 litres per 100 kilometres (combined), which makes it 20 percent more economical than a similar standard-production model.
Saab Aero X
The Saab Aero X concept exploits the power of Saab's aviation and Scandinavian roots to make a distinctive testimonial in performance car design. Envisaged as a study to discover future design directions, the concept car is sure to inspire the future products from Saab. The Aero X is a dynamic two-seater sports coupe that breaks with automotive design convention both outside and inside. The Saab Aero X has a cockpit canopy that is seen in a jet aircraft and so it has no doors or windshield pillars. This facility gives the driver a full 180 degree vision and also makes entry and exit from its low-slung cabin.
The Aero X has a twin-turbo, BioPower V6 engine and is fueled entirely by ethanol, a sustainable energy that is eco-friendly with reduced carbon dioxide emission. The concept car has pure Scandinavian interiors by entirely eradicating the age old dials and buttons. By displaying data on glass-like acrylic 'clear zones' in graphic 3-D images, the Saab make use of the applied techniques derived from Swedish glass and precision instrument making.
The exterior and interior of the car is lit by LED. It has a lightweight powertrain, weight-saving carbon fiber bodywork, electronically controlled suspension and all-wheel drive.
BMW Mille Miglia Coupe
The Mille Miglia concept coupe from BMW was manufactured to memorialize the BMW 328 touring coupe, the winner of the 1,000 mile Mille Miglia race in 1940. It has also set an unbroken record for the highest average speed, 166.7 km/h (103.5 mph). But though the 2006 Mille Miglia concept coupe was never proposed to race it is powered by the same drivetrain as seen in the BMW Z4 M coupe and has a truly modern support structure. Traditional methods were used to design the concept car. The bodywork of the concept coupe is made from carbon-fibre reinforced plastic. The asymmetrical LED taillight that cuts down from the top of the rear window and curls under the rear of the coupe is expected to increases visibility for following vehicles. The Mille Miglia concept coupe is wider, longer, and slightly lower than the Z4. But it still has the 20 inch old-fashioned wheels. Entry to the Mille Miglia is through the rear-hinged canopy.
Nissan Pivo
The Pivo has a ground-breaking cabin that revolves 360 degrees, eradicating the need to reverse. It also has a compact body that makes easy to move. It is a three-seater car with a number of user-friendly technologies including the Around View Monitor of Nissan that displays the outside surroundings on screens mounted on the inside of the car's A-pillars located on either side of the windshield and this will help in reducing blind spots.
Pivo is a zero emission car that is powered by Nissan's compact, high-performance lithium-ion battery and its unique Super Motor.
Chrysler Imperial Concept 2006
The 2006 Imperial concept car is designed as Chrysler's flagship. It is a luxury sedan that is elegant, challenging yet attainable. The designers got the inspiration from the classic Imperials of the 1930s and 1950s but also to Chrysler's long tradition of creative concept cars such as the Chrysler d'Elegance and Falcon and the recent Chrysler Chronos and Firepower. Every area was hand-sculpted in the hallowed tradition of the custom coach built LeBaron bodies of the classic era, which fully realize the subtleties of the chaste body surfaces.
The Imperial is mounted on a 123-inch wheelbase and it is 17 inches longer and six inches higher than a 300 sedan. In this concept car, the passengers sit nearly seven inches higher. Together with a higher hood and deck and the large 22-inch aluminum wheels the Imperial has a very noble look.
