Next Concept Cars

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.

Even if this is the newest crossover of the Russians, C-Cross won’t beat Lada Niva, the off-road car that always remains young.

The design of this concept car reminds of Ford Focus which is very often found on the Europe streets. AvtoVAZ, the company that produces Lada cars in partnership with Renault, could set new standards at the Auto Show in Moscow for Russian cars.

This may be the latest trend. New caravans can be a very good shelter for small and big cars, from Mini Cooper to Ferrari 360.

The auto producer, Vario Mobil, equipped a series of caravans with a garage. The caravans that are equipped with something like this must be at least 9 meters long. And yes, they are expensive. Prepare to spend at least 500.000$ to get one! But this sounds like a great idea, if go traveling with your caravan, you will have a smaller car too that will take you in any place and it will be much easier to find a parking lot for it.

The famous contest held by the people from Peugeot is approaching the great final: 30 competitors left.

Trident is a British company that came with a new supercar that has a V8 engine and develops 550HP. Fuel consumption is very low, only 4,1liters/100km!

Obviously, the 4,1l/100km is a marketing strategy, the car consumes that low only at a constant speed of 112 km/h, but really, having a 550HP car you’ll pass that speed for sure!

The maximum power of Trident Iceni is obtained at 3800 rpm and it accelerates from 0 to 96 km/h in only 3,7 seconds. The top speed is pretty high too - 320 km/h, so, again, don’t tell me you will keep this beast under 112 km/h! The transmission is assured by a gear box in 8 steps. Trident Iceni will be soon commercialized so prepare to spend 75,000 pounds to get a beast like this!

Blue Fusion is the latest company in US that entered this game of Corvette modifications, choosing the retro style of the sixties. Named Rossi 66, the model is based on the technical platform from C6/Z06/ZR1 and covered with a bodykit that reminds us about the C2 model from 1966.

The first finished model and ready to be sold will be exposed this year at SEMA in Las Vegas. Along with the coupe version, the Americans said that they are already working at a cabrio, but some Sport and Competition models as well.
