Volkswagen Terrafine Is A Vehicle Designed To Run On Any Terrain Without The “Bad Boy” Feeling

Niklas Palm found his inspiration in the design of Chris Craft’s boats and the American east coast. He created a vehicle that allows the driver to run on any terrain without leaving marks, as a traditional off-road vehicle would do. The traditional off-road digs its way up the hill, scratches the rocks and especially pollutes nature due to its internal combustion engine. The name of the Terrafine comes from its actual capability to keep the earth fine. Because of its shape and suspension system don’t affect rocks and ground. The main idea of the concept was to create a vehicle that could do less damage, even none at all, to the environment is driving in.
The incredible suspension system allows the Terrafine to climb any obstacle, adjust height and even to tilt the vehicle forward for a better view. Due to its uncommon suspension the ride feels like is not on the ground, but on water. In the creating process the designer, Niklas Palm, found an interesting way to create a paper model of the body. The idea came to him during a visit to the 2008 Paris Motor Show, where he found the Renault Ondilious, the front grill of the car inspired him in the way to produce the paper model. The concept is fitted with an electric engine giving the vehicle an extra point for being Eco-friendly. The shape of the vehicle and the simple yet complex suspension, the rimless wheels and the roof free body make the Terrafine an extremely light vehicle. This important weight loss allows the driver to ride without leaving such a long lasting foot print on the environment it goes in.

Mercedes Arrow Is A Lightweight Two-Seater Vehicle Gives You The Feeling Of Sliding With A Bobsleigh

Mercedes Arrow has been designed to draw a comparison with other recreational vehicles such as motorcycles, jetskis or personalized aircraft. This stunning vehicle gives its passengers the ride of their life. The bobsleigh shaped body, the lightweight materials and the sporty look enable it to shoot through heavy traffic like an arrow from a bow. This experience can only be enjoyed by two passengers, their seats are placed one in front of another. One of the stunning features this futuristic car has, is that it combines TANDEM with MAGLEV technology to take sharp corners. This innovative feature allows the body of the car to tilt left and right when the car is taking corners, thus minimizing the wheels tilt angle. There is an almost non-existing chance for the vehicle to slide out of control. Due to the slim body, the wheels cover the same space of tarmac, just as a contemporary car, eliminating the risk of the car flipping over. The designer, Felipe Palermo, found inspiration in the old Silver Arrows, the SLR McLaren and the 1954 Gull-Wing.

Eos Triton : The Automatic Individual Car Of The Future

This futuristic car with the form of a shell is the proposal of the designer Priyanka Martin to personal transportation for the year 2025. The Eos Triton is an individual transportation unit inspired by a shell, so it can protect its passenger while travelling comfortably and it saves spaces on the roads and parking lots.
The car will drive automatically by an integrated system therefore accidents and traffic jams will be far less common. Using this system, the passenger just needs to input the destination, while the Eos Triton searches the fastest and safest way to reach it. During the journey, the passenger can relax and use the travelling time for other things like surfing the net, reading a book, taking a nap, etc…
This vehicle also uses just one wheel, balancing itself thanks to a gyroscope. Also, depending on the development of alternative fuels in the next years it will be adjusted to use electricity or fuel cells.

Opel Ewol Personal Commuting Vehicle Can Still Sustain When Gas Stations Will Become Hard To Find

During the year 2050, you will hardly be able to find a gas station since definitely there will be no fossil fuels available by then due to the massive industrialization using natural resources such as gas, oil, coal and etc. To offer an energy efficient personal commuting solution in such a condition, Opel Ewol vehicle has been envisioned to use human powers such as body heat and mechanical energy as well as the sun and the wind power as the primary source of energy for operating the car. This three-wheeled vehicle has been crafted from lightweight materials along with maximum package optimization that has made it superbly energy-efficient and aerodynamic. Moreover, it will be able to gather and store energy from different types of kinetic energy such as breaking, suspension and deceleration to make it a self sufficient vehicle in energy which would be the perfect match for the future environment.
