			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Houston Auto Show 2012 has been the most awaited car shows as it has been the seeding ground of many breath taking <strong>concept cars</strong>. It has made the auto mobile manufacturers reach out to the common mass and know their tastes and preferences and thus in turn get to produce a car just according to the specifications of the people.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/jeep-rescue-concept-vehicle.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2258" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/jeep-rescue-concept-vehicle.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="394" /></a></p>
<p>Just like before it has now made the Cherokee auto mobile manufacturing brand get to show case their <strong>concept car</strong> to the common public. The latest jeep concept car has been inspired from the consumers. The jeep is the outcome of an online contest where the consumers rather the car lovers pointed it out that they wanted some thing similar to the Grand Cherokee and thus it was lined up accordingly and made in to a concept and catered to the mass.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Jeep_Grand_Cherokee_Interior_1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2259" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Jeep_Grand_Cherokee_Interior_1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="378" /></a></p>
<p>The engineers of this <strong>concept car</strong> have extended an all black look to the car, and has inspired them to name the car as Darth Vader. The car has been given some of the most distinctive features and has been lined up for mass production. The interior of the car has been featured with leather seats, heated front seats, along with the steering wheel and shifter wrapped in leather as well. The car also ahs a music system for all the music lovers who love to listen to songs while they are driving. The car has incorporated 9 speakers which are of 506 watts along with a sub woofer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the growing awareness of the environmental issues all over the world, the governments of different countries are taking up steps to make the world a better place to live by stressing on the promotion of the green cars that is the crash which do not give out too much emissions and run on renewable sources of energy. For this treason the car manufacturers of the world have started a competition where they compete themselves to reach the finishing line of introducing the first ever concept car to run on electricity and it would not be a version of any hybrid.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/03/car2go-2011-03-14-600-06.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The concept cars of the Hyundai Motor Group and the Renault Samsung Group have already taken part in that race to introduce the concept car which will have zero emission and run on electrical energy.  Both of these car manufacturers have committed that they will produce this concept car in huge numbers for the common people; they are likely to be produced in the year 2013.</p>
<p>The KIA Motors Corp., a part of the Hyundai group has already introduced an electric concept car named Ray; it is a totally electrically driven concept car and not a hybrid at all. They have said that they would be producing 2500 units this year for all the public agencies and later go in to mass production in the year 2013.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3010/5809485668_b1c7551cd1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Renault Samsung’s Korean body is planning to design and manufacture a similar project in the mid sized SM3 sedan version. They too are thinking of designing their car in the similar lines of Kia’s Ray and producing it for the masses and giving the people on the earth a healthier air to breathe in.</p>
<p>The energy refueling technique is very easy for both of these cars, for Ray the user will require to refuel the car by just visiting the charging stations, and the other will require exchanging their batteries at the swap station.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kleen Speed is one of the most reputed companies who deal in EV conversion and they have been doing business in this regard for quite some time. With a good record to back their reputation they have been successful to launch a prototype drive train and exterior design for a new 2+2 EV concept. They have christened the name of this concept car as Kar. It is one of the most prized possessions of the engineers at Kleen Speed as this concept car is among the first of its kind. Earlier to this car the Kleen Speed engineers have also successfully designed and converted a Mazda Miata in to a battery operated Eiata.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/autopia/2011/12/KleenSpeed1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The automobile engineers who have designed this wonder are hoping it to put in to production for universal usage not before 2015. They have laid down the features on which the concept car will be built up on. Some of the features are that it will have an interchangeable platform that offers a 40kWh lithium polymer liquid-cooled battery pack, 120-150 mile range and a top speed governed at 85 mph.</p>
<p>The engineers are in talks with the major auto mobile manufacturers of Asia, talks are even in process with the renowned designer Brian Rhim who is supposed to give the outer lay out of the car. The car will be given the best deign that will be finalized after discussions with the engineers. The Kar will be facing quite many adversities judging by the issues faced by the other EV startups, to add up to these issues there are the problems related to produce a car from scratch too. So this concept car has to endure a lot of struggles to see the light of the day.</p>
<p>The engineers are mum on the words of the cost of this concept car but they sure of one thing that they are not going to produce only luxury sedans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cadillac has brought up its latest creation in the field of <strong>concept car</strong>s in the 2011 Los Angeles Motor Show. They have made their <strong>concept car</strong> nicknamed Ciel debut at the same motor show. The car has been built and designed by the GM of Advanced Design Centre Team which was in turn led by the legendry Frank Saucedo in southern California.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2011-Cadillac-Ciel-Concept-Front-Angle-598x401.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2118" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2011-Cadillac-Ciel-Concept-Front-Angle-598x401.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="402" /></a></p>
<p>This four seat convertible is truly one of a kind as it has incorporated an olive wood interior. The wood has been derived from a 300 year old olive tree that fell in a storm outside of Naples in Italy. Ciel or the “sky” as in French is equipped with a 3.6 liter twin turbo charged V6 engine and a hybrid system with a lithium-ion battery. The car has a 125 inch wheelbase with an interactive front console.  Extensive use of high quality natural leather is seen on all interior finish and seats.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/11_concept_Ciel_023.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2119" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/11_concept_Ciel_023.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="389" /></a></p>
<p>After honing its performance credentials at Germany&#8217;s Nurburgring with the lightning quick CTS V, Cadillac shows it can still do what Cadillac was once known for doing &#8212; creating larger-than-life cars with a commanding presence. The Ciel is an audaciously designed car, but not a reckless exercise in excess.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is one car that is specifically designed for family outings and hence concentrates on exclusive rear access doors without disturbing those in the front two seats.  Though there is no announcement regarding prices, it is expected to be in a range of $100,000.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Concept-Cadillac-Ciel-Rear-Angle.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2120" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Concept-Cadillac-Ciel-Rear-Angle.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>This car will surely touch the hearts of the car loves as they can see a car right out of dreams rolling out in front of them. The Ciel is basically   designed from the imagination of the car manufacturers and they can definitely have the claim that they have been able to create the best of designs in the history of <strong>concept cars</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sporty three-door Vauxhall Astra GTC was tested at Loton park where the journalists were given a chance to go for a test drive in this concept car. This GTC concept car is inspired by the Vauxhall Astra but it has got a sporty and sharper look.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1st.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2071" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1st.jpg" alt="&quot;Vauxhall Astra GTC Concept Car&quot;" width="275" height="183" /></a></p>
<p>The look of the car is the first remarkable improvement that you are going to notice. The most noticeable change is that the car has got only two exterior parts- the roof and the door handles. When talking about the looks it is clear that the car model has a longer wheelbase, wider tracks as well as a low ride height. With the car’s smooth yet aggressive looks it can be said that this one is surely one of the best looking cars seen in the current time.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/2nd.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2072" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/2nd-300x199.jpg" alt="&quot;Vauxhall Astra GTC Concept Car&quot;" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>The interiors of the car may disappoint some people who have raised their hopes after seeing the dashing exteriors. The concept car has a packed cabin making it more than cozy for the adult passengers. The highlights of the interior are the leather trim on the steering wheel and door panels and the well-built sports seats.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/3rd.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2073" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/3rd-300x161.jpg" alt="&quot;Vauxhall Astra GTC Concept Car&quot;" width="300" height="161" /></a></p>
<p>The best improvement made on the concept car is the big 2.0-litre diesel incorporated in the car. The torque of the concept car is 350Nm. The grip of the car on the road is remarkable but the electronic power steering leaves much to be desired. People who are looking for a smooth and quite drive might not like noise levels of the engine.</p>
<p>There have been some improvisations on the rear of the car too. All it can be said that GTC is an impressive vehicle that facilitates riding with firmness. But those of you are thinking about investing your money on this car you should know that other versions of the GTC are on their way.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first concept vehicle namely the 1969 Hurricane has been restored by HOLDEN. This concept car is a sports car which can seat two passengers. The features that were included in the car at the time were quite innovative as per that time period.</p>
<p>Some of the features that were present in the 1969 Hurricane included station-seeking radio, air conditioner for temperature control, and rear vision camera along with a programmed route finder.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Holden-Hurricane-front-three-quarter2-623x389.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2066" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Holden-Hurricane-front-three-quarter2-623x389-e1319189764310.jpg" alt="&quot;Holden Concept Car&quot;" width="400" height="249" /></a></p>
<p>The Hurricane had a very unconventional design with hydraulically-powered canopy which was used for entering the car. There were no traditional doors. There were also many safety features incorporated in the car such as a fuel tank, integrated roll-over bar, ignition safety locks, interior padding and a fire warning system.</p>
<p>The features of this vehicle are being adopted by other vehicles that are going for production.</p>
<p>General Motors design chief Michael Simcoe commented that the restoration of the Hurricane is a good thing to happen. Holden&#8217;s research and development organization was the force behind the production of the car. This organization used to run in the 1960s.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Hurricaneb.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2067" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Hurricaneb-e1319189935962.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="220" /></a></p>
<p>The Pathfinder route guidance system and the rear-view camera is said to be the car’s pioneering features. The pathfinder’s aim is to work as navigation system for guiding the drivers to move forward on their intended routes.  The car had a dash-mounted panel which illuminated arrows for giving the driver the clue about the right turns.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Holden-Hurricane-front-623x389.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2065" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Holden-Hurricane-front-623x389-e1319190001614.jpg" alt="&quot;Holden Hurricane Concept Car&quot;" width="400" height="249" /></a></p>
<p>The Hurricane car made use of a closed circuit television along with the rear-view camera for further helping the driver. The car went into restoration in the year 2006 after getting recovered from a trade school. The restoration work was led by Former Holden chief studio engineer Rick Martin.</p>
<p>The classic car show, Motorclassica, which will take place at the Melbourne Royal Exhibition Building for three days starting from October 21, will be displaying the restored Hurricane.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sports activities car ZDX with its 4 doors is the latest addition to the line of <strong>concept car</strong> by ACURA. Although it had made a debut as a prototype in the 2009 New York Auto Show but now the new and improved ZDX has incorporated new designs which embrace the panoramic glass roof, hidden from the view door handles, the bold look of this <strong>concept car</strong> is completed with the fender flares.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Acura-ZDX-Concept-Front-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2044" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Acura-ZDX-Concept-Front-3-300x200.jpg" alt="&quot;Acura Manufacturing Concept Cars&quot;" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Out of the numerous features of this new concept car the few notable ones are given below. The car is equipped with 3.7 liter V6 paired with a 6 speed automatic transmission. This particular ZDX has a complete aluminum SOHC engine designed to deliver a horsepower of 300. The paddle shifters are apart from the transmission element and hence can afford a marvelous and top class acceleration power which is believed to be quite economical. This particular ZDX model is said to have the biggest customary wheels in the line of other Acura cars.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/images-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2045" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/images-2.jpg" alt="&quot;Acura Manufacturing Concept Cars&quot;" width="275" height="183" /></a></p>
<p>The interiors of the ZDX model sports hand stitching on the dash, panels, and centre console. The ZDX also offers a warm and inviting vibe with the plush cabin. This particular <strong>concept car</strong> in question is designed to accommodate 5 adults along with ample cargo space. The ZDX is set to be included in the Acura line of posh SUV and luxurious Sedan line of cars.</p>

<p>The car has been fully designed, developed and manufactured in the North America, this particular ZDX model is the first vehicle to get designed in the new Acura Design Studio in Torrance, and hence this has allowed the exterior and interior designers to work on this car together and very closely. This version of the car has stayed true to its original version of the one designed by the first female designer of Acura, Michelle Christensen; it features a lot of sensuous curves along with deeply sculpted shoulders and strong character lines.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every one loves to have a <strong>concept car</strong> and car makers are always trying to make one that attracts the people. Vauxhall is no exception to this phenomenon, the latest two-seater electric car made by them is going to be unveiled in the Frankfurt Motor Show next week.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/opel-gtc-concept-car-img_1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1975" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/opel-gtc-concept-car-img_1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="380" /></a></p>
<p>The car has some of the most striking features which are sure to grab eyeballs at the Motor Show. The range of the car is 60 miles and the top speed is 75 mph. this anonymous car is yet to be named and is an extension of the inspiration for the need of low cost urban transport. Vauxhall is specially targeting the young drivers who are mostly walking on a tight rope budget.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/opel-geneva-show.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1976" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/opel-geneva-show.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="353" /></a></p>
<p>The makers of this car specify this innovative <strong>concept car</strong> has the capacity of ‘production potential’. They believe that this car of theirs can give competition to its urban contemporary Renault Twizy. This two-seater has a far sportier outlook than its Renault counter part and its frontal styling depicts the upcoming extended range of electric hatchback by Ampera. The designs of the Vauxhall make are a bit more aggressive and thus will be more appealing to the younger generation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/opel_gtc-concept-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1977" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/opel_gtc-concept-2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>The engineers of Vauxhall think that this car’s concept is a much more practical one and it can attract the Gen Y effectively. The two seat lay out of this particular <strong>concept car</strong> is also tandem. The design of the car is such that it is light weight. It weighs only one third of the present small version of hatchback. The design of the car makes it quite agile and easily maneuverable. Vauxhall assures that the rider will sure have fun to drive this wonder. They assure that this car is going to be a hit among the young generation and they would love to have this model for themselves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Skoda has revealed its new concept the MissionL and it will be hitting the 2011 Motor Show at Frankfurt soon. This new car is one that depicts a bold evolutionary design of the Skoda VisionD Concept that was displayed last year. The VisionD was a car that had the objective of providing an insight into the futuristic design that Skoda is to adopt in the forthcoming years. The MissionL is believed to be the first in line for this innovative design language.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Skoda-Mission-L-Concept-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1960" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Skoda-Mission-L-Concept-1.jpg" alt="&quot;The MissionL by Skoda&quot;" width="600" height="438" /></a></p>
<p>The MissionL is a sedan that is compact and unique. The vehicle is an evolution of the Volkswagen PQ25 car platform. This is the same platform that also underpins the Polo, the Fabia and the Vento. The Fabia Sedan is the first Skoda car that is going to be based on the MissionL platform.  The European and the Chinese versions of the car will be followed after some time. The MissionL concept car is one that sports of unique optical light guides like the new Audis in the market called the Day-Time Running Lights. The tail of the car is one that also provides the same design as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Skoda-Mission-L-Concept-4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1961" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Skoda-Mission-L-Concept-4.jpg" alt="&quot;The MissionL by Skoda&quot;" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>The MissionL has the objective of showcasing the design of the Laura or the sub Octavia compact for Europe. This five door car is one that is very close to the production as per the brand.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Skoda-Mission-L-Concept2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1962" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Skoda-Mission-L-Concept2.jpg" alt="&quot;The MissionL by Skoda&quot;" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>It is likely to go on sale in the markets of China, Russia and Europe. MissionL is going to provide car lovers an insight into the direction in which the brand is going. The brand is just waiting for the motor show at Frankfurt to showcase the vehicle to audiences. The car company is in full swing and it has plans to bring a new vehicle into the market after every six months!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The concept car of Maybach Exelero combines the power of a unique sports coupe with the sophistication of a high quality limousine. This concept is very special as it has been made with the cooperation of the tire producers Fulda. In order to test the capability of hig performance tires the company wanted a car that could exceed the 350 km limit. The Maybach model is basically a car that was made to serve as a testing car for Fulda. This was done as early as the 1930’s and this connection was again revived recently a couple of years back.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Maybach-Exelero-Exterior-Front-View.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1931" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Maybach-Exelero-Exterior-Front-View.jpg" alt="&quot;The Maybach Exelero&quot;" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>When it comes to the Maybach Exelero it has been seen that the car manages a top speed of above 350 km/hr. The weight of the car is 2.66 tons and it sports the looks of a small van. The tires that have been designed for the car cope with the weight of the car and also provide safety, comfort and stability to the car.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/2005-Maybach-Exelero-Show-Car-Dashboard-1920x1440.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1932" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/2005-Maybach-Exelero-Show-Car-Dashboard-1920x1440.jpg" alt="&quot;The Maybach Exelero&quot;" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>It was in the year 2003 that the project team of the car began its work. The team had a number of Mercedes Benz engineers who has taken up the responsibility of the engineering. These designers were headed by Prof Harald Leschke along with 2 professors and 4 students coming from the Transportation Design Department of Pforzheim Technical College. It was after 9 months that the draft of one of the students was selected for the realization of a line up of promising design proposals.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/one-off-maybach-exelero-offered-for-sale_100209975_m.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1933" src="http://www.carsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/one-off-maybach-exelero-offered-for-sale_100209975_m.jpg" alt="&quot;The Maybach Exelero&quot;" width="600" height="195" /></a></p>
<p>The work of the car was completed in 2005 and it took just a time span of 25 months to finish it. The Exelero is based on the Maybach 57 model. The 12 engine that was deployed in the Maybach Sedan despite having two turbo chargers was not powerful enough to cater to the top speed that has been demanded by the car. This is the reason why the displacement has been enlarged from 5.6-5.9 liters in the new car with the turbo being optimized.</p>
