Mitsubishi
MMR525
The Mitsubishi MMR525 Rally Racer concept is a wild and crazy
off-road machine which looks like a cross between a futuristic
dune buggy and a spacecraft.
Of special note are the innovative multidirectional rollers
mounted to the perimeter of the 'wheel' for increased traction

Bowler
Raptor
The Bowler Raptor was designed to compete in the grueling
Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 off road race held on Mexico's Baja
California Peninsula. Essentially it is an extreme dune buggy
developed to cope with the demanding and harsh terrain of
the desert race.
The angular bodywork of the Bowler Raptor takes inspiration
from both modern architecture and superbikes. The result is
an aggressively styled machine which also features a highly
functional body panel system. More

a kit.

the similarity between the Quattroflex and olden-day horseless
carriages was entirely intentional.
The Audi Quattroflex is controlled via a centrally mounted
joystick, allowing the vehicle to be driven from either side.

TH!NK
Frost
The TH!NK FROST concept mixes the proportions and 2-seat platform
of a sports car with the rugged capability of an off-road
vehicle. The electric drivetrain of the concept features AWD,
all-wheel-steering, fully independent suspension and hydraulic
wheel extenders for increasing the track. Not to mention the
radical tracks instead of conventional wheels which should
offer superior traction when driving on snow, ice and slush.

Lamborghini
Toro
The Lamborghini Toro was inspired by the fact that before
Lamborghini built supercars they built tractors. And they
still do, although none of them look like this.
The styling of the Lamborghini Toro was born out of an attempt
to fuse the functionality and off-road capabilities of Lamborghini's
tractor products with the outrageous and angular styling of
their supercars.
