In a very crowded city that has just a few parking possibilities, this is the solution: the electrical turn-up car!
Made by a Norwegian designer, the electrical car has two places and a luggage carrier as well. Propelled by four electrical engines, one for each wheel, the car recharges its lithium-ion batteries with the help of the solar panels that were installed on it.
But, the most interesting thing is that Peugeot 888 is able to shorten itself, being a good solution for the few parking places in the big crowded cities.

Miguel Ángel Iranzo Sánchez is a young man from Spain who wanted to get his master certificate in auto design at the University from Valencia. And he succeeded with this project, a project that kept him busy all this summer and about which the author says that represents a mix of a SUV with a sport automobile.
But for his creation, the Spanish man got as a premium a Nissan Note. Regarding its creation, Nissan Shiraz is an ecological concept car capable of off-road. It really looks good, hopefully, we might see it on road in the near future.

No, this is not something official, unfortunately, what you see here are only some drawings made by a passionate.
The South-African designer, Idries Noah, is not at his first creation of this type, he also designed the Project Fireblade and Ferrari Dino. He now presents us Lotus Europe i6, a concept that in theory has 920 kilograms and its power comes from a 2.0 liters supercharged engine.
At such specifications, we could guess that Lotus Europe i6 should have a maximum power of 300HP. Even if this model will never be made in series, we should be happy because of one thing: Idries Noah might be noticed by a big producer so he might become one of the designers from let’s say BMW, Audi, etc. Good luck!

At the Auto Show in Moscow, this year, Russian creations couldn’t be a missing part. Z-Project is an off-road vehicle with 8 wheels, being two times bigger than the famous Hummer!
Z-Project is a concept car with 4 axes, and Avtoros X Trim tires, especially made for the Siberian snow. Initially, this concept had only three axes, but has evolved becoming an automobile very good for expeditions.
As I said before, this car is very big, even bigger than the Hummer: it’s 6,2 meters long, having a mass of 3,7 tons. Instead, the engine is not a “big boy” like the one found on Hummer H1, it has only 2,4 liters and 130 HP. The performances on road aren’t very good too, the maximum speed being only 80 km/h. But, on off road terrain, Z-Project should be a real beast!

Fiat will launch the Portofino concept at the Auto Show in Dusseldorf, September, this year. It will be initially launched as a car perfect for the seaside.
Without any roofs nor doors, the new concept is based on the Fiat Fiorino. Actually, the frontal part of this concept is almost identical with Fiorino’s frontal part, only the grille and fog headlights are different because they are positioned a little bit upper.
Having a new structure, the Portofino concept has a resistance bar that forms a ring around the car. As you can see in these picture, it will have two pairs of nautical ropes, one pair for replacing the back doors and another pair for replacing the front doors. The car will also have waterproof tapestry.
In future will be launched a version equipped with a roof, intended for series production.
