Next Concept Cars

The big son of David Beckham drives probably the most expensive toy on 4 wheels, a fully functional Porsche which has a price of around $75000.

This toy is more expensive than most cars running on streets today. The mini Porsche was manually made by  Porsche engineers and it is propelled by a real engine, unfortunately just diesel, so it can not be considered a perfect replica. However, this model has all the finest details found on the real one (Porsche 550) from design curves to its interior. The only difference is that the mini replica has only one place and costs ten time less.

But I still think that spending $75000 for a toy is too much.

Some Chinese guys did it again, they managed to copy an European model, Fiat Multipla. They even paraphrased its name, resulting Zotye Multiplan.

We might tend to think that Zotye is Fiat’s official partner in China, but they are actually only a “client”, which does not prevent them to make models in the “copy-paste” manner. A very convincing model is Zotye Multiplan, being replicated in the smallest details.

There is available only one motorization, a 1.6 liter engine. We aren’t really sure who manufactured it, but I think there wouldn’t be a surprise if they are actually using a Fiat engine.

The model in these pictures is the work of art realized during a practice study at Honda Americas by a young Columbian, Leon Paz. Named Acura 2+1 Coupe, it attracted the attention of the Honda officials. Who knows, in the future they could make a series model based on this concept.

This Acura 2+1 Coupe, as the name suggests, explores a configuration not so common until now, having 2 seats in the front plus one in the back. The idea is not bad, because in 95% of the cases, in a coupe won’t travel more then tree people simultaneously.

Another interesting and innovative detail is the panoramic roof extension to the front, over the engine which offers a very nice view.

The first pictures with Nissan Patrol 2010 taken at an official presentation inside the company appear on the internet.

Nissan Patrol is one of the most longeval 4×4 models on the market, being manufacturer since 1951. Like any other respected model, in essence it remained the same vehicle capable to take you anywhere, anytime on (almost) any weather conditions. Over the years, Nissan Patrol lined up with the new standards of comfort and luxury.

There aren’t too many details about its engine, but we expect at a V6 or V8. The model will be launched by the end of 2009.
