Inspired by well known Supercar manufacturers such as Ferrari, Pagani, Lamborghini and also the exclusive Redbull X1 race car which features in Gran Turismo 5, Abdul Wahid, an automotive designer, has sent us his own vision of what should a Hypercar in the future look like. Just like most boys, he had always been fascinated by exotic cars and jet planes and it was his fascination to Nardolillo Alessandro’s Ferrari Ethesian concept that had inspired him the most due to its unique distinctive design.
The idea was to design a next generation concept to feature in games such as Gran Turismo or to be featured in Hollywood Sci-fi movies.

Amphi-X is futuristic concept amphibious vehicle, designed for Dubai in 2030. This project was inspired by an article that Beichen Nan, the designer, read on the Top Gear magazine. It discussed about amphibious vehicle designs and how we could really use the alternative route of traveling instead of using busy congested roads especially in big cities. Based on this article, Amphi-X has been designed to answer the challenge on designing an amphibious vehicle that doesn’t have a large hull underneath its body or any water propeller sticking out from the back of the car. So, this futuristic transportation design blends a boat and a car into one aesthetically appealing amphibious vehicle.

EcoWash is a great dishwasher to use when you don’t have electricity, such as boating, camping, or countryside vacations. Just place all the dishes into the round small washing machine, add some water and washing-up liquid, close the latch and turn the handle on the side. The interior rotates to wash all your dishes efficiently and effortlessly. When it’s finished, just open the small hatch to release the water. To dry the plates, turn the handle a few more times to create a centrifugal force. That’s really cool, eco-friendly, handy, and easy to carry around.

If you search in google with the keyword “Narrowboats” for images, you surely will get disappointed with the results that are massively lack style and innovation. With a goal to change the traditional means of living and offer an extraordinary place with a lot of opportunity to get entertained, the 15 meter long Orca narrowboat concept has been designed by Daniel Blackband, a UK based product designer, targeting the untapped young future generation. The appearance of the boat is quite self explanatory as a great place for living, giving a sense of more space to the residents by incorporating functional pop up roof and luxurious interior. The inclusion of wire technology to operate the steering wheel has made the concept self-sufficient enough to say ‘no’ to a tiller and rudder. This concept is being envisioned as a perfect solution for short distance trips to the canal-side pubs and dock-side restaurants.
