Over the last few years the Japanese giant has both entrenched itself in traditional automotive enclaves such as prestige motoring and Formula 1, while it has evolved numerous concepts for mobility solutions in the grey area where robotics meets personal transport – ranging from walking chairs, through intelligent transforming personal wheeled transporters. Two of the concepts to be shown by Toyota at the upcoming Frankfurt Auto Show are in this “personal mobility” area - the Endo and the I-unit. Emanating from the company’s ED2 design studio in Southern France, the Endo is an urban-friendly car designed to address some of the key issues of modern urban life, while the i-unit has been seen previously at the New York Auto Show in January this year and is one of the major attractions at EXPO 2005 in Aichi, Japan and is "a new approach to human mobility that enables the driver to interact with his or her surroundings. The design of the i-unit is "inspired by a leaf, a natural expression of life on earth." Read More
Benda apakah yang ada pada gambar di bawah ini? Properti film fiksi ilmiahkah? Bukan, ini hanyalah sebuah mobil biasa. Tapi lebih terlihat seperti mobil masa depan atau mobil alien (kalaupun ada).
Mobil ini dibuat oleh Mike Vetter dari Florida. Pemilik sebuah perusahaan modifikasi mobil bernama The Car Factory ini, mempreteli mobil Chevy Aveo, mengganti eksteriornya, dan memasang pintu Gull-wing sebagai pelengkap. Mobil ini juga dijual oleh Vetter di situs ebay. Tertarik?
Seandainya mobil ini dapat terbang sungguhan, mungkin akan jauh lebih menarik. Tetapi desain yang ditawarkan juga cukup menggoda. Saya yakin bangsa Indonesia juga mampu membuat inovasi seperti ini, bahkan yang jauh lebih baik dari ini.

An industry source informed, "A lot of cross-pollination is going to happen between the automobile industries in India and China. Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation has already made an entry into the market here and manufacturers such as Chery, Brilliance, JAC, BYD and Beiqi Foton are working out modalities to start operations. These companies have products which are a strategic fit for the Indian market. Some of them have already made enquiries regarding the vendor base available in India for starting operations here."

Hungarian designer David Raffal has the clear idea about how new generation cars should look like. With his new concept, called “BMW snug”, this futuristic looking car is most likely going to be on the roads once in the future. The project was developed in tandem with the BMW group. What is special in its design is that David Raffal strives to achieve a sense of community.
According to its designer, the car is designed for different people with different views and ideas, those who value private relations. Being just a concept, BMW snug is reported to be highly assessed by BMW, but still nothing is clear about its future. BMW snug is a 4 seater vehicle which is able to be used as a sitting room. Its design appears to be sophisticated with paper waves for covering a central cell.
