Concept cars range from insanely wacky to wickedly awesome. That’s always been true, but the ones that always appeal to me are those that tend to be styled after Hot Wheels cars. To give you examples, take the following two:
Wierd folding concept aside, the BRB Evolution screams Hot Wheels. There are probably a hundred design problems with regards to making it actually functional and road-safe, but wow!
The MAG Magnetic concept vehicle boasts advanced technology that would use a magnetized road to propel this thing. Once again though, the packaging speaks volumes. It looks like one of the more futuristic Hot Wheels, but I’m sure you can see the resemblance.
Concept cars are supposed to do two things. They’re supposed to show advances and/or possibilities with new technologies, but they’re also supposed to inspire passion. The Dodge Challenger was one concept that didn’t necessarily push any technology envelopes, but wow did it ever inspire passion. I always look forward to new concepts, here’s hoping people keep designing cool ones and don’t spend as much time on some of the weirder, less interesting concepts that are out there.

I love the new Hummer concept. Don’t know how long, if ever, before it reaches the showrooms. I bet it will have a pricey sticker also!
The Jeep concept I saw at Detroit wasn’t bad either. Srsly doubt that one will ever show up. Wonder why they make those cars that never hit the showroom floors?

First car does look quite hot… nice… it’s too bad a lot of these vehicles never make it into production. but the fact that they inspire passion in onlookers is already a pretty good thing. Nice article.

i love them both, but i like the 2nd one especially. I think its the fluid lines and ‘chilled’ look it seems to pull off. Having said that tho, it really doesnt look like a car that would be safe to travel in

I would have likeded to see car nr 1 from a different angle. Car nr 2 has a cool back wheel.
Other than that i think it looks too much like
a shoe.

Those cars are amazing. I wonder how long it’ll be before they’re dominating our roads? And at what cost?

Sweet. I’ve been to the Detroit Auto Show several times in the past and it’s always amazing to see what they come up with

these concepts are very cool. its my first time to see these car designs and i have to say, im impressed

It’s too bad these will never get made because they are so great to look at. If only we didn’t have crash safety laws holding our designers back.

Wow, they do almost look like hot wheels. It will be interesting to see cars like that on the streets one day.

The first one looks pretty sick, but the second one doesn’t look like anyone would build such a vehicle.
Boilers // Jun 23, 2009 at 10:29 am
This concept cars look like toys. Are these cars real?
HID Kit // Jun 29, 2009 at 11:54 am
Not sure about these actually becoming cars… little over the edge.
