Concept Cars

Do you remember the Fordzilla P1 - a virtual race car developed by Ford in cooperation with the world of video games? It was first announced back in 2020 and then, at 2021 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ford actually came with a full-scale model of it.

Now, the car has been once again displayed, this time at the Gamergy 21 event in Madrid, Spain with impressive new streaming capabilities. In another words, it was transformed into the ultimate racing simulator.

By now, everyone out there knows that Toyota has big plans for the future: going all electric by 2035 is the company’s main focus. In fact, we’ve already seen 16 new concept cars that preview this future: SUVs, trucks, sports car, sedans, will all go electric. One concept that caught our attention though is a yellow one that is supposed to preview the long rumored MR2 successor.

Nowadays, a lot of car manufacturers talk about going carbon neutral, and Toyota is one of the companies at the forefront of this endeavor. Toyota made it clear, by now, that the company is not really interested in developing sports cars by itself. The GR Supra and GR86, both of which, co-developed with other manufacturers, are proof enough. With that being said, Akio Toyoda himself announced 15 new Toyota and Lexus models, and it seems not all is lost for car enthusiasts.

Toyota has ambitious goals for an all-electric future. The Japanese automaker plans to considerably expand its electric vehicle lineup over the coming years.

Akio Toyoda, the brand’s President & CEO himself was at hand to give us a glimpse into what Toyota has in store for their next decade, which is set to be dominated by EVs. In a mega unveil for the brand’s future EV strategy, he gives us a first look at 16 distinctive concept vehicles that the brand has been working on.

Having a plethora of pixel artists that showcase their visions of future cars is tremendous. This is especially true for classic cars that need to have a modern-day successor. The 1970-1977 Alfa Romeo Montreal is one of those cars and recently, the YouTube channel, NewCarDesign has given us a rendering of what a new model could look like.

Electric vehicles (EVs) seem to be the key to solving our climate crisis, or is it? Toyota’s hydrogen combustion engine that powered this GR Yaris is proof that the answer to the global climate crisis can and should be a multi-solution approach.

For those of you out there with a passion for fashion, Virgil Abloh (1980-2021) needs no presentation. Among others, he was the artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear collection beginning 2018 and showed great interest in art and music too. For car enthusiasts, his name may sound familiar thanks to the special Mercedes-Benz G-Class designed in cooperation with Mercedes’ Chief Design Officer, Gorden Wagener and unveiled in 2020.

Is it possible to use an all-electric motor from a road car in a single-seater racing car? Well, Nissan thinks it is. It’s just been a few days now since Nissan revealed four electric concept vehicles in one swoop. They’re back, once again with the Ariya Single Seater Concept. The car seeks to explore the future of performance with electric power.

Have you ever wondered what the Cybertruck is really missing? The answer is not a futuristic look - we can tell you that for sure! What the truck is really missing is a grille! Of course it doesn’t need one since we are talking about an electric vehicle, but Superrenderscars came with the perfect solution.

Every automaker is on the cusp of announcing ambitious plans to switch to electrification. While some have jumped the wagon, some are still on the verge of doing it. The latest automaker to do so is the Japanese giant Nissan. Nissan has revealed its ‘Nissan Ambition 2030’ plan that includes 23 electrified models coming out of the automaker’s stable this decade. To give a glimpse of what to expect, Nissan has revealed four EV concepts. None of them are anywhere close to a production model, but this shows Nissan will re-shape itself as an EVmaker in the ongoing paradigm shift.

Chinese carmakers have come a long way in a short time that much is clear. Now, they are going a step further, by taking on Tesla, with what looks like…a Tesla? This is the Nezha S, also known as the Neta S (both names are used), which was unveiled at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show. While the shape may bear a striking resemblance to the Tesla Model S, the Nezha/Neta S is its own car. Moreover, it promises to beat the American EV manufacturer to full autonomy, achieving Level 4 autonomy, by 2022.

There are certain cars of the past that deserve to have a modern-day successor. Apparently, a designer that goes by the name of rob3rtdesign is of the same mind, as he has decided to take the Brazil-only Volkswagen SP2 and turn it into something that looks like an epic side project, made by RUF or Singer.

Renowned automotive designer Frank Stephenson has tied up with Corning, a company behind some of the most innovative and state of the art glass technology in the industry today, to discuss what the future of interior design on cars might look like.

Right around the same time that Hyundai revealed its new SEVEN Concept, Kia revealed the new EV9 concept, which is arguably, a little more production ready. Like the SEVEN Concept, the EV9 previews a real production model, but it’s not quite so large, and has more of an aggressive exterior appearance while the interior has hints of luxury all around. Is this the future of Kia? We certainly hope so.

Hyundai is growing its electric fleet of vehicles as fast as it can, with the 2022 Ioniq 5 poised to be a solid alternative to the Tesla Model 3 This car, and its push of the Ioniq sub-brand has proven how resilient the automotive sector is, and now the Seven Concept pushes that idea a step further. The Ioniq 5 serves as the compact hatchback\crossover and the SEVEN represents a full-size EV that Hyundai will begin marketing in the very near future.

Tesla is no longer the sole EV carmaker, as more and more companies are churning out high-performance models, powered purely by electricity. The IONIQ 5 is Hyundai’s latest contender and features powertrains ranging from modest 170 to a respectable 325 horsepower. And while the CUV features a hatchback design, an Italian graphic designer has introduced a sedan version of it.

KIA is planning on fully revealing the EV9 SUV on November 17 at the Los Angeles Auto show, but before that has happened, the brand has released some new teaser images.

KIA has released a collection of official sketches of its upcoming EV9 Concept as part of the "Kia Sustainability Movement”. The images of the concept show off both the exterior and interior of the Concept EV9.

When you’ve got the money, you don’t just buy the most exotic cars; you get them commissioned based on your preference and needs. Top-end automakers aren’t new to this as they customize every car based on the client’s needs, but sometimes, they cater to demands that literally change the shape and style of the vehicle. Courtesy of one such customer, we have the Ferrari BR20 – a One-Off car commissioned by a customer that’s based on the GTC4 Lusso.
