Auto Show concepts

[Dr Mordrid]

Some no doubt going into production

Cadillac Provoq (fuel cell - 300 miles on 6kg of H2)



Dodge Eco Voyager (Volt-like LiION hybrid w/fuel cell range extender)




Dodge Renegade (Volt-like hybrid with a clean-diesel range extender)




Dodge Zeo (100% plug-in electric car)




Hummer HX (Hummers entry into Jeep Wrangler turf - 3.6L V-6 E85 FlexFuel engine)

[Dr Mordrid]

Mazda Furai (racer, or is it Batmobile? - 450 hp three-rotor on PCP)




Mazda Taiki

It would be nice to actually see all these concept cars put into production

[Dr Mordrid]

The Hummer HX is a lock and something like the Caddy Provoq is very likely after their 5th gen fuel cells are ready ~2011. Chrysler is the one that regularly produces their concepts, and these would fit right into the mix in their new ENVI electric car division. Now that Chrysler is a privately held company they have the freedom to move fast. The Mazda Furai will be produced, but only for racing.

Hummer HX is way cool, very boxy. Looks rugged and offroadish, me likey!

The Mazda Furai looks very Le Mansish, very sleek very nice and fast. Probably could rise to supercar status.

As for the rest, I hate that so called "futuristic" look. It's so 90's and out of style.

That's my opinion.

I think the Mazda's look sweeeet

The only problem I can see, is that there doesn't seem to be a lot of bootspace on these cars ? (except for the Hummer)

I like the Hummer concept, it looks like the hart top version of the vehicle from Halo!

[Dr Mordrid]

That seems to be the universal opinion

[Evildead666]

Hehe, they built a car from a computer game...

Better than making a film about one...

Here is a video clip of the Mazda on the track...

Sounds and looks really good!

Racer indeed! The Furai makes the Batmobile look like this!

That pup runs sweet, wish I could get a few laps in with it

[Fat Tone]

Sigh. There's another Mazda for me to lust after.

[ZokesPro]

Sigh. There's another Mazda for me to lust after.

Plus it's a 3 cylinder rotary engine, which according to Mazda is supposed to be equivalent to a V12.

[Fat Tone]

Yes, its the RX-8 I lust after.

Does the forum software let us say Wankel?
