BMW i8 Concept Spyder Super Car

What's most stunning about the BMW i8 Concept Spyder the German automaker isn't the 350-hp plug-in hybrid technology, the laser-powered headlights or the auto-show touches such as folding electric kickboards. It's that BMW plans to build something with most of these features, in a car looking much like this, within a few years. This is not a dream. The latest evolution of BMW i-Series concepts expected at this week's New York auto show wears an exterior that while still futuristic, represents a viable look at what BMW will build in two years.

When BMW chief designer Adrian von Hooydonk told us in Detroit the production i8s would strongly resemble the concepts, this -- the layered bodywork, the laser headlights and the tri-tone accents -- was what he meant. Even the i8 Concept Spyder's scissor doors look less showy than purposeful here.

The Bentley SUV

The Bentley SUV Is Here, And It's Just As Lavish As You Expected

Last month at the Geneva Auto Show, Bentley rolled out a concept of it's first SUV. The vehicle was met with poor reviews and car enthusiast complained of it's ugly form. The British automaker has now released new renderings of the EXP 9 F SUV and we honestly think it looks pretty good. We saw these images first over at Pocket-Lint.

While this certainly isn't a vehicle for the masses, luxury enthusiast will appreciate the form and its expensive price tag price tag will ensure that it remains exclusive. Forbes says, "[The EXP9 F] will feature design elements to include Bentley’s signature matrix grille, round lamps and strong power-line throughout the side of the car. New to the vehicle would be jet-inspired elliptical twin exhaust tailpipes, 23-inch alloy wheels and a two-part split tailgate." The portable picnic compartment is one of our favorite over the top features.

Here is the revamped EXP 9 F. It features the signature Bentley grille.

Here is the instrument cluster. We love how GPS is easily accessible.

The wheel is draped in leather and wood grain, as you expected.

An artists rendering of the center console. Very elegant.

Here is the full picnic addition, complete with champagne glasses and cutlery. There are also two umbrellas hiding back there.

Take the SUV out for a night on the town. The vehicle will seat five adults comfortably.

Here is a concept drawing of the vehicle during its earlier stages.

Another concept drawing of the vehicle. We're getting Range Rover vibes from this one.

2 wheeled car

Yabba Dabba Doo !! Ever wondered owning a two wheeler yet experiencing a car drive? Sounds crazy right? How can one get a enclosed feeling sitting on a two wheeler? The concept is not new though as our famous cartoon characters “ Flintstones did own such a vehicle. But what about in reality? The answer to all our questions is “ the worlds first gyroscopically stabilized rolling smart phone. Hold on! We are not taking about the Apple or the Samsung smart phone.

is the vehicle designed by Lit Motors that combines the efficiency and freedom of a motorcycle with the safety and convenience of a car. Now, doesnt that sound interesting? And most importantly its an all electric vehicle, and mind you, it is an advanced version of the Flintstone model as there is no hole in the bottom to poke your leg and C-1 has just two wheels!!

Now, a question would come up in mind “ What about the balance while riding? This smart vehicle moves forward and backward and doesnt fall over. It can be safely driven up to 160 km/h. The flywheels put out 306 Nm of torque, so the vehicle gently sways when stopped. And to tackle twists and turns, the s brain takes the input from the steering wheel and other factors into account and alters its axes accordingly. Indeed Smart ! The company plans to make 10,000 or more units and the price for the C-1 is expected to be around $16,000.
