N6, Personal Vehicle Concept by Matteo Gentile

This N6 vehicle concept by Matteo Gentile has a shape of a banana. This vehicle can carry only one person at a time so you can call this as your personal vehicle. The steering of the vehicle is made of cushion like substances giving a good rest to your arms. At the center part of the vehicle you will notice a black patch giving it a good combination of two colors and making it more stylish. The wheels (both front and rear) are made of tubeless tires supported by a steel frame.

On the other hand the vehicle is not placed at a height from the wheels so you can expect you base of the vehicle being scratched at slopes, speed breakers or on rough patches. A sloppy front view of the vehicle makes it eye catching for the youth and it is a good PV (personal vehicle). It looks like a heavy vehicle and is at a good height (not from the tires) so its good to see a footer that enables you to get down or to get on the vehicle easily.

Libelula Rocket Powered Helicopter

Remember the game DAVE you played in your childhood, and you always wanted to fly like Dave using the jet pack. Or let me put it this way: you always wanted to fly like a bird in the air without the use of a jet or a plane. If it is so then, here is the solution for you, the rocket powered helicopter. The rocket powered helicopter is a brilliant and a fantastic way to show your bravery.

The structure of the model goes like this: it has two hydrogen fuel cans which will be fitted to your back, a glass helmet to cover your face, a steel rod coming from the cans and reaching your hand with blades present on top of them. A rocket present at the tips of the blades enables the helicopter to work without the use of tail rotor. We are very excited about the product and waiting for its launching day. This is going to be very exciting to give a competition to the birds by the means of science and technology. This product is a bag packed of excitement, thrill, suspense and fun.

The best thing about this car is that it promises 47mpg. This car can be owned after paying a price of 17000$ to Volkswagen. Looking at the design it looks similar to a sports car. The front wheel outside the solid steel body gives it a sporty look. A combination of white and black used in the car is an all time favorites. The rear turbo wheel is broader than the front wheels and provides just enough support to the car and helps it to maintain a perfect balance through out. A decent car embedded with all facilities will give a pretty good ride.

T-Rex 3 Wheeler Concept for 2008 by Johnathan Cote

You might already familiar with this 3 wheeler concept, Johnathan Cote just tried to offer his re-design proposal for the legendary T-REX. With the the first prototype released in 1994, the T-REX is a pioneer in the rapidly expanding world of modern 3-wheeled transport that has now spawned such exotic gems as the Can-Am Spyder, Brudeli’s Three-Wheel Leanster, TriRod’s F3 Adrenaline and the upcoming ZAP Alias highway electric car. While respecting the T-Rex’s DNA, this remodeling offers refreshing new lines and added new assets. Overall, the beauty of this design imparts elegance and refinement worthy of the best sports cars.

Jonathan new design integrates several storage areas into the vehicle, blending cargo space into the vehicle’s outline and adding a small storage space and two smaller glove compartments in the front. Two windshield versions are also catered for: raised or F1 style.

Porsche Design Gravity Car by 3dyn

This gravity car is designed by Mark Clarke (Senior Designer at Porsche Design) and 3dyn brought the car into reality. 3dyn took their surface data to create high density foam master models, high temperature fiberglass molds, and finally pre-preg carbon fiber body shells. The cars are fully functional, with high-performance downhill mountain bike disc brake systems, rack and pinon steering (with carbon fiber, F1 style steering) and 4-point safety harness. Short of the purchased bicycle components and formed clear canopies, 3dyn created all components in house, the majority being either carbon fiber or aircraft aluminum.

Too bad they won’t make any gravity car for 2008, as it’s stated on their website :
“3dyn will not participate for 2008, as new commitments have precluded us from being able to build another 10+ cars this year. However we may still assist in the design process, if needed. 2008 should be “electrifying” for Zero E Racing.”
