Heart of a Car, Soul of a Motorcycle

Developed with guidance from the Audi Design Concept Studio and KISKA design, the Audi Nexus concept is a purpose-driven and efficient vehicle designed exclusively for the urban landscape. Its slim silhouette combines the advantages of both two and four-wheeled vehicles. It leans into curves for the thrill of riding a motorcycle, but its frame provides the security, safety and stability of a car. No wider than a scooter, it zips through the city and nimbly navigates traffic.

Designer: Kiska

Sport-semi of the Future

The Turan’s ultra-futuristic aesthetic is matched with state-of-the-art technology to form an entirely new breed of industrial truck we’re dubbing the “sport-semi.” The exterior biomimics the exoskeleton of shelled animals to provide enhanced aerodynamics and structural stability. Inside, the driver finds themselves in a Pacific Rim-style pod with head-up-display, eye detection system, and custom calibrated controls that maximize safety and usability.

Retro-Futuristic Rover

The Mercedes-Benz Capsule concept attempts to balance classic and futuristic styles in an otherworldly, all-electric rover built for the road. The cockpit’s shape takes inspiration from old school fighter prop-planes, but perched high on its chassis, it feels more similar to a Mars-rover than a car. For enhanced agility on the road, power is delivered independently to each in-wheel motor. Loves it in Mercedes-silver!

Triple the Awesome

From the creators of the nCycle comes the nThree – the latest challenge in efficient, affordable urban mobility. The single-seater trike’s shape takes influence from the toucan bird, applying the same structural qualities to achieve a lightweight, yet incredibly strong outer shell. This lightness, in combination with electric power delivered to the rear wheel, make it able to zip around town like a motorcycle but with the comfort of a car.

Its simple “Y” shaped body structure ensures a significant reduction in weight. Internally shaped and modeled like a toucan beak, the two side arms have a thin and lightweight section resistant to shock and impacts. In order to mimic this functionality, the designers ran a stress analysis test on the side arms to figure out the areas being stressed out most on the body, and to try to better distribute the stress based on the profile shape of the arm and the different areas it connects with the other parts of the nThree. Compared to similarly proportioned vehicles weighting about 300-500Kg, the nThree is expected to weight only around 100 Kg or less depending on the materials and hardware used. This will translate in a much higher power efficiency and lower energy consumption.

KickSkateBoard

Convincing yourself to get a skateboard and kick board at the same time is kinda resource drain. So how about this cool innovative option called the 2 – n – 1 Board. A sexy merger of the two, this cool board morphs itself seamlessly from one to the others with ease. Simply kitsch!

The Sports Car of SUVs

Now here’s a crossover we can get behind! The Audi concept sports a sleek yet muscular physique in proper SUV proportions. But with its short rake, lower height and shorter length, it’s designed to tackle urban traffic more than grapple the off-road. It would be a shame, after all, to muddy such a posh interior.

The Mini-est Car Yet

For those who like flyin’ solo, the Peugeot Mini Car is the super-sub-compact to have. No longer and only slightly wider than a motorcycle, the Peugeot is characterized by a robust, animal-like stance and futuristic, Tron-styling. The driver can access the cockpit from either side or the front, depending on preference. Once inside, the driver has an almost complete view of the vehicle’s surroundings thanks to extensive glass on the top, front, and sides.

Age of the MotoCar

Following in the footsteps of companies like LIT Motors, the Volkswagen AERROW concept vehicle marries the benefits of both the car and motorcycle into a one-person urban commuter. Powered by a TDI-Hybridmotor, it’s more efficient and aerodynamic like a motorcycle. But, its completely enclosed cabin and extra room for cargo make it akin to a car. Electric gyroscopes keep the vehicle balanced at stop lights and even during accidents!
