...and they just happened to have the most awesome racetrack ever, so I bought it as a Christmas gift to the both of us. The track is over 60ft long and the cars are nicely detailed for $198.
the bike is a great idea; it's so beyond safety duct tape all over the frame, and into the realm of actually being attractive. i'm afraid my own bike lands more on the "how those tires look" side. (with mick styleee, naturally)
The A'KIMONO LS2.0 Concept is a design study of a futuristic vehicle inspired by light sculptures which uses an artificial lighting system to make the exterior body surfaces visible at night, hence Automotive Lighting Sculpture. It was designed by Bulgarian Teodor Kyuchukov - Dorteo.
hubless wheel (also known as a rim-rider or centerless wheel) is a type of wheel with no center hub. to be precise, however, the hub is actually almost as big as the wheel itself. the axle is hollow, following the wheel at very close tolerances.
well, a 360 section rear tyre, combined with the stupidly long forks at such a shallow rake make for straight lines. i understand that hubless wheels, in reducing rolling mass, should allow better manoeuvrability (totally outdone by everything else i mentioned, in this case hehe).
probably wont mean much to you, but this is a custom build raptor powered by an r1 engine. a friend of mine is currently building one very similar to this. stupid. can't wait to have a go
well, the iroc (first post) has lent a load of concept features to a recently released vw production car, and the dodge challenger concept has made it into production fairly unchanged...
someone has to sketch out the changes and new features, i know.
it's just that the slick concept cars remind me so much of this 12 year old that's in my MathClub class who spends all his time drawing amazing cars. i always start mentally whistling "dream on, little broomstick cowboy' when i see the wishful car concepts.
MOY concept is made for generation who uses technology as a means to express themselves and communicate with others. The idea behind MOY concept is that everyone can design their own car on their own computer and then apply the design to the vehicle using wireless data transfer or share it with other people through web-site, forum, e-mail etc. To those who lack the necessary skills or time to create their own design, we offer the option of downloading ready made designs. The vehicles are interconnected, so the change is possible in motion. Movement recognition technology enables us to draw on the car in real time. Since MOY can display both static images and videos, it can be used as a new medium of promotion. Vehicle is powered by batteries that charge electro motors set in wheels and controlled by drive-by-wire technology. The body of the car is made of outer and inner polycarbonate layers, with layers of liquid crystals, LED diodes and electro chromic foil (film) in between.
...an environmentally friendly supercar. McLaren says the P11, which will feature a regenerative breaking system and v8 diesel-powered engine with a scorching top speed of over 200mph, will be the greenest vehicle in its class.

Bright Bike is a Retroreflective Vinyl coated bike. It is like coating your bike with a big sticker that turns ultra-brite in headlights.

is that even physically possible?
i do notice that there is no cornering in the little movie.
heh.. i've been swooning over "hubless" bicycle wheel concepts for years, but they still seem to be limited to track bikes.
i don't care if it goes around corners or not.... if you are on the back of that motorcycle, you are probably badass.... and sexy. *nod*

too bad the photo is badly fucked and car is so obvioulsy photoshopped there...
if you flipped it back for front, it would look a bit like a Lamborghini.
anyone think that any of these concept cars will be built?
