Concept Dodge Hornet is an embodiment of the American representation about cars of class B. Founders present it as the dynamical and pleasant car in steering with the developed possibilities of transformation of interior. Special value is given a car interior, the non-standard approach to the organisation of internal space is applied. The rear seat develops in a proportion 40:60 and if to combine all seats, including driver’s, we will receive an equal platform. The bodies placed on corners 19-inch wheels give to the car original and live shape.
Such decision also positively affects capacity of interior, and for the maximum simplification of access to it doorways are made as much as possible big. In addition, rear doors open in opposite to a course of movement the party. All it will allow possible future owners to use the car as well as the family car. Daddies remain of 1,6 l are happy and the 4-cylinder gasoline engine located under a cowl in volume., which, thanks to a mechanical supercharger, develops completely not “family” power of 170 h.p. and a twisting moment in 224 Nanometers, transferred through a 6-step mechanical gear box on front wheels. In the given kind the concept, most likely, will not appear on roads of the general using, but chances of occurrence tiny Dodge ` and for Europe are high enough.
Concept car Dodge Challenger shown in January on a motor show in Detroit later of 35 years revives truly American muscle car and continues traditions of engines Hemi. Recently Tom LaSorda, the president of concern Chrysler, has officially given green light to the given project. The serial car should appear in 2007.
The long cowl, low roof and characteristic silhouette of a two-door body make related the car with one of most cult “ponies-karov” of 70th years. The car interior also transfers atmosphere of those years though it is executed on modern manners. In what the car differs from the predecessor so it at a rate of wheels – different diameter, 20-inch in front and 21-inch behind, they at all do not remind the classical. The cowl of the concept car with two cuts of air intakes hides under itself 6,1-litre Hemi V8, developing 425 h.p. and installed on model of SRT-series. Through a 6-step mechanical gear box the engine transfers pull-rod to rear wheels. Dispersal to 100 km/h occupies 4,5 seconds, and a “classical” American distance in a quarter of mile the car passes for 13 seconds.
In January on a motor show in Detroit company Ford has decided to show last achievements of concern in the field of alternative fuel. At the same time, “Super Chief” (so the car name is translated) is full of nostalgia on the Golden Age of the American bourgeoisie: he has inherited the name from a high-speed train, in the middle of the XX-th century transporting passengers across the United States in the conditions of obscene luxury. It the approach to interior registration speaks: a black nut and aluminium, a brown skin and boxing with a sliding bar between the isolated rear seats. A number close a glass ceiling with aluminium and put forward sideboards near to rear seats.
But main is a maintenance: 10-cylinder turbo engine Tri-Flex in volume 6,8 l., it is capable to work on gasoline, hydrogen and on ethyl spirit. Switching from one mode on another is carried out manually. Indicators it is, of course, separated. If on gasoline or spirit Super Chief gives out 310 h.p. and the maximum twisting moment in 425 Nanometers, a hydrogen mode – only 280 h.p. and 400 Nanometers. Thus, a hydrogen indicator of fuel consumption the biggest: the full tank will suffice on 240 km while ethyl spirit will end through 386 km, and gasoline – through 540 km. In working out of a grandiose concept on dimensions (6,7х2,3х2) design BlockerBeam allowing at crash with not to crush of it under and, thereby also is applied, to lower risk for its passengers. But, as well as it was spoken above, locomotive urged to show, first of all, possibilities of alternative fuel, and in a batch production there can be only its echoes.
DaimlerChrysler has once again reduced Maybach and the world famous manufacturer of wheels – Fulda Reifenwerk. In 1930 it together it was possible to create the fastest car in the world. Recently it has been decided to repeat this focus. The concept was created for the only purpose – to cross a boundary in 350 km/h. On it worked both designers, and engineers. The enormous car with classical racing proportions (a long nose and double cabin strongly displaced back) has as a result turned out. Only the sizes of model are that, that the area of a wheelbase has enough for parking Mini.
Outwardly Exelero distinguish the forms more reminding a boat, an infinite rear screen and borrowed at Mercedes radiator enclosure seating – between two high side panels of a cowl. Very good clamping force is provided by air dams on both edges of the car, combined with air intakes, and the choke tube placed on the tail of a concept. Under a cowl the top-engine of Mercedes-Benz V12 in volume of 5,9 l is installed., However, it of 600 h.p. of power it seemed Maybach a little. The engine with the modified compressor gives out now all 700. The frightening indicator of the maximum twisting moment in 1019 Nanometers, has allowed to embody, however, dream in a reality – on tests in Italy Maybach Exelero has reached speed of 351,45 km/h. The concept is equipped ABS, ESP, systems of stabilisation and the pull-rod control, wheels 315/25 at R23. The interior is issued in black-red scale, the central extension housing – standard for Mercedes.
Cost of workings out – 1 million euro. It is natural, even if the car though in any kind and will go to a series it will be already absolutely other history and absolutely other money
As well as all models Imperial in history Chrysler ` and, the concept of 2006 is designed as elegant lux-sedan, a company leader. Constructed on a platform 300С, it “has grown up” in all directions and towers on the 22-inch wheels, majestic and monumental. High landing not only provides impressive appearance, but also offers more convenient landing in interior. Access on rear places is provided with doors opening against a course, that also adds to a exclusive concept. Rear armchairs are divided among themselves by the central tunnel on which there are buttons of steering of the multimedia system engaging individual screens and wireless ear-phones for rear passengers.
The driver’s place is distinguished by a motionless central part of a wheel on which buttons of steering of an audio system take places, climatic installation and the cruise-control. Bronze colour of a body inside continues the cream interior generously decorated with inserts from a tree and framed with metal details (they too bronze colour). Imperial could make a competition to cars from Rolls-Royce, but, most likely, and remains a concept.
Presented, as well as Dodge Challenger, on a motor show in Detroit, Chevrolet Camaro also revives the American automobile traditions of 60 and 70th years. However, unlike Chrysler’а, GM continued to let out various generations of model throughout all time. The new concept is not simple reincarnation of the car of 69th year, and, more likely, a modern embodiment of character and spirit of the first Camaro, the interior keeps “classical” ideas and similar architecture of interior. Under a cowl mighty aluminium 6-litre engine V8 power over 400 h.p., with system of switching-off of several cylinders disappears at partial loadings for fuel economy. To use the power of the motor huge rear 22-inch wheels (lobbies – 21), received, for the first time for 35 years, an independent suspension.
It is expected, that the batch production of a sports coupe will begin in 2008, and management GM hopes to make a worthy competition new Ford Mustang, successfully on sale in the USA.
Concept car Audi RSQ occurrence in a film “I, Robot”, the story of Isaac Azimov picturized on motives, have designated a new epoch product placement an Audi. The autoconcern has declared the possibilities and ambitions the next 30 years. Designers of cinema cars managed to make practically impossible: to keep in the future car (picture action is developed in 2035) corporate style Audi. Characteristic bypasses of a body are borrowed at Audi TT and Le Mans Quattro, front radiator is executed in accuracy, as at Audi A8 L 6.0 Quattro. The spacious and convenient interior is issued in style A6. Doors RSQ, as well as at any standard car of the future, open upwards. The main innovation – spheres instead of wheels – are meanwhile inaccessible to modern cars, but it is a matter of time.
Audi RSQ – not simply car of the protagonist. It much more, than Aston Martin for James Bonda. Allocated with an artificial intellect, the concept car helps hero Uilla Smith to investigate murder. For this purpose founders of the car needed to improve the current technologies and to present, with what they will be in 2035. Unfortunately, it is mentioned nothing power unit RSQ.
New Audi Roadjet Concept, presented on a motor show in Detroit, has every chance to inhale a life in updated series A4. Equipped all-wheel drive system Quattro, the car has longitudinal 3,2-litre engine V6 power in 300 h.p. and a 7-speed check point. Dispersal to “hundred” – for 6,4 seconds. In Roadjet there is everything, that will make driving by the present pleasure: the active steering, a windshield from functions of change of a transparency is more true than a part and t.d. The navigating system providing communication with other cars and city infrastructures became the Main opening in a concept.
In appearance of a concept conservatism is felt, it is sustained in style Audi: solid, prompt and compact. In design of the car there is nothing exclusive and future – it approaches for daily driving. Interior spacious, armchairs separate. Thanks to that rear armchairs move every which way, between them it is possible to place a childrens chair.
