Airwaves: Futuristic Compact City Car Concept

Airwaves concept car

Designer Lei Liu has put his thought upon giving form to an elite city car concept that would offer a stress-free ride even amidst jammed roads and digging space for itself in tight parking lots. Called Airwaves, this miniature coupe does away with the tension of bearing the awful jams and freeing you from the risk of dents and scratches. Instead of hinging outward, its electronic door spins upright to avert others being “doored”.

Besides considering the safety of its passangers, it gives equal amount of attention to other commuters on the road. The backside of Airwaves features LCD screen that keeps the onlookers engaged during traffic jams with useful information displayed related to weather reports, news or greeting words from the driver.

This people friendly car gives a deserving trinute to environment as well by making 0% emissions. I think you would agree with me that the safety of small cars is really important; therefore an accessibility of the special lift mechanism in Airwaves can offer good safeguard for the driver, passengers and pedestrians. It workd like this: The minute driver uses emergency brake, the car hits pedestrian and the cabin will lift up by inertia. During that hour, the outside and inside airbags will be unconfined to defend the people inside and outside.

GINA Light Visionary Model: Shape-Changing Concept Coupe by BMW

GINA Light Visionary Model

With the word spreading like a virus about the GINA Light Visionary Model, it seems to mark BMWs successful entry in the niche of concept cars. It’s flawless, plastic-coated lycra fabric, can easily be stretched over a metal frame with stirring components, thereby offering shape-shifting properties to the sedan. The outline of the car body can be altered without shredding or slackening the fabric, and the navigation controls, gauges and head support can all be settled into place once you feel comfortable in the car.

Check out the video here:

The car is based off a 4.4-liter Z8 with a six-speed mechanical diffusion. The body is consists of four panels i.e. hood, sides and rear and did I tell you the material is water defiant. Concerning the shape-shifting properties involved, the car is accessible to alter things like adding or eliminating a spoiler, or broadening fenders.

Blowout Pedal Car Auction Comming to Hershey PA

Blowout Pedal Car Auction Comming to Hershey PAaaca pedal classic cars hemmings

Now this is odd: apparently, some people gather in person, in a single place and on a fixed date, and even require the purchase of tickets in advance, all to auction off items of some rarity and value. No website, no PayPal, no Buy it Now, no nothing. Cuh-razy. So crazy, it makes the idea of spending hundreds of craftsman-hours customizing, finishing and transforming eleven old-timey Champion Comet pedal cars into unique works of automotive toy art seem as sober as an actuary. But there you go. On October 8th in Hershey, Pennsylvania, RM Auctions is conducting a charity auction to benefit the Museum of the Antique Automobile Club of America, at which point this glorious fleet of pedal cars will be dispersed to the four corners of America's four-car garages
