Concept
Cars
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 concepts they stand out. Fortunately owing
to the many auto shows which take place every year
the list is ever growing.
