DOK-ING XD Electric Concept Car
A Croatian made DOK-ING XD superb electric car. In spite of the fact that it uses electric as the main source of energy, it is able to reach 100km/h from a standstill position in a mere 7.7 seconds.
The second quickest electric car is compared with Tesla Roadster Electric Car that is capable to reach 60mph within a mere 3.9 seconds!
This record is achievable due to its 80kW/360Nm electric motor, powered by XD’s banks of lithium-ion-phosphate batteries. Other peculiarity is the rapid design process to manufacturing. It took only three months to complete DOK-ING XD project from concept for manufacturing.
A single recharge would let DOK-ING XD reach 200-250km, a bit shorter in distance to Tesla Roadster’s 480-500km per single recharge.
Weighing 1,100kg DOK-ING XD has a dimension of 1.7-metres in width and 2.8-metres in length, DOK-ING XD obtains the same level of height as some other small SUVs at approx. 1.6-metres tall.
Pygmy Jeep Concept Car
The new stylish Pygmy Jeep concept car has been designed Vasiliy Kurkov is created on the basis of Fiat Panda. The most significant feature of the concept vehicle is the exude European character that infuses the American Culture as well as the quintessential Jeep spirit.

Bridgestone Falcon Hybrid Jet Concept Car
Designer Samir Sadikhov has created the Falcon Hybrid Jet Vehicle for Bridgestone to carry the jet turbines on the end of the concept car. The vehicle comes with the balancing technology, which includes five gyroscopes and two tilt sensors.
The concept of Falcon Hybrid Jet Vehicle, being a type to rocket type vehicle, is equipped with two wheels at the front side and no wheels at the rear. The hybrid jet can be switched into city “segway” mode by using the two wheels for ease of commuting around the congested urban area.
Zero Impact Vehicle Concept
ZIV or Zero Impact Vehicle is a two-seater concept which was designed by Christopher Latta. The innovative concept is created for a greener life style for busy urban environment. It uses only reclaimed or recycled materials.
This futuristic vehicle is for efficient city use. The concept is powered by a hydrogen fuel battery, which generates water as the final mechanical waste and which can be preserved in a holding tank so as to use later.
The vehicle is special with its motionless rim design, where the tire travels around the rim by utilizing maglev unit like magnets that controls braking functions and all propulsion. The levitation magnets, which are located under the time, also serve as shock absorbers. The driver of this concept will be able to achieve balance on rough terrain through more powers on the magnets by the fuel cell and zero radius turning can be done with ZIV because of its two tires design, which make it easier to navigate and park on busy city streets.
SAAB Spyker Supercar Concept
One of the first things that occurred to many Saab enthusiasts after the completion of the long-winded sale of the Swedish automaker to Spyker was the possibility of a supercar based on the underpinnings of a Spyker model.
No doubt, we’re sure that the creation of a supercar is (rightfully) not among the top priorities of the people who manage the newly formed SAAB Spyker Automobiles, as there are much more important issues to take care of at the time being.
However, independent designer Eduard Gray took it upon himself to digitally visualize a conceptual mid-engined Saab supercar that would make use of Spyker hardware.
“The union of Saab and Spyker provides a unique chance to create a design that takes the best of each brand and distills their qualities into a single product”, the designer says in his website.
Sbarro Autobau Concept Car
This year replica builder Sbarro and Swiss performance car introduced another new concept at the Geneva Motor Show. The Sbarro Autobau is sure to tear up the pavement powered by a 500-horsepower 12-cylinder engine from Ferrari.Whether you love it or hate it, the Autobau is the only car of its kind at Geneva.

While the company refused to release performance specifications, they stated that the Pandion is powered by the 4.7-liter V8 with 450 bhp and 470 Nm of torque from the 8C Competizione.
In spite of the fact that it is a concept, several design elements may be used on the upcoming Alfa Romeo 159 replacement.
Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept Car
Pininfarina, an Italian car design studio, has released to the public the teaser image of their new Alfa Romeo concept. The vehicle is designed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the car manufacturer Alfa Romeo, and the 80th birthday of Pininfarina. The company has not announced the official name of the concept yet, but was unveiled to the public at the Geneva Motor Show.
Bentley Aero Ace Concept Car
The Bentley Aero Ace Speed VI is an innovative concept car, which betters efficiency with improved aerodynamics. The car is designed by the auto designer Gabriel Tam, who took the inspiration for the concept from the original Speed 6 driven to victory by the Bentley Boys of the ’20s at Le Mans. When designing the vehicle the creator aimed the Bentley Aero Ace not only to become a part of the future Bentley design aesthetic, but also paid great attention to reducing energy consumption.
The developer has concentrated on the aerodynamic properties of each element of the vehicle. The next-generation Speed VI also features improved efficiency and speed. The concept in a way identifies a new vehicle direction for Bentley that would appeal to the ecologically conscious car buyer.
The electric motor cooling system comes with air intakes and incorporates diffusers to ensure the air flow to create down-force. The wheels of the vehicle are semi enclosed, which also contributes the aerodynamics, while the 1+1 seating arrangement offers focused driving experience.
2017 Alfa Romeo Executive Fastback Saloon Concept Car
This car is a wild missile for heck. It’s the 2017 Alfa Romeo Executive Fastback Saloon. What a mouthful! What an eyeful, you’re about to witness. Designer Jacob McMurry’s whipped up this magic machine to compliment the Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione in Alfa Romeo’s return to the North American market.* In this project, inspiration’s drawn from Carnevale di Venezia, aka the Carnival of Venice.
Audi R-Zero Concept Car
A transport designer and two digital designers, Franck Levivier, Rémi Marchand and Pierre-Olivier Wagne from the International Design School, France, collaborated to build a concept supercar that could prove necessary at a period when the world would not be able to rely on oil as a power source. And as a result, the Audi R-Zero Concept car was developed.
The design of the car was meant to possess the excitement factor, besides being environment friendly.
There are four separatein-wheel electric motors that projects 1091 horsepower. A line of batteries that are positioned just before the rear axle provides power to these motors.
The electric drive train layout enabled the designers of R-Zero to take full advantage of the cooling airflow supplied by the grille at the front. There is a backbone frame which is hollow, and that runs across the horizontal length of the vehicle and channels airflow inside, through the front grille. Various objects like the brakes that are sensitive to temperature receives cooling air that gets distributed by this backbone frame. The air is then expelled out through the grille at the central rear.
The Audi-Zero is a fantastic concept with innovative engineering but it is just that! A Concept. No building or production plans are in the horizon.
