Car Resources, Articles and Related Sections

A concept car fulfills many important roles in the automotive industry.
Concepts can be used by manufacturers to gauge public opinion of a
new model, or even an entire design philosophy. Or they can be used
as experimental design projects, called styling exercises. Ultimately
vehicle manufacturers use concept cars to push forward the boundary's
of manufacturing and production techniques, while showcasing their
more advanced technology.
Some concept cars although important, are rather uninteresting. Face-lift
concepts where the basic structure of the car remains unchanged from
previous years but minor styling cues are altered for the new model
year might fall into this category.
Compiled here is a list of interesting and important concept cars,
4x4 vehicles
and motorbikes.
The concept vehicles covered were selected because they are slightly
out of the ordinary, either in their design and appearance or their
engineering. When compared with other concept vehicles they stand
out. Fortunately owing to the many auto shows which take place every
year, and the imagination of car design professionals and students
the list is ever growing.
