This concept vehicle is designed with the future city congestion as well as the environmental concerns in mind. Christened as QuadUrban, the vehicle is agile and comfortable enough to provide you easy and quick ride to your office school, gym or just for fun. Designed by Sebastian Salanova, the vehicle is based on the medium sized quad that enables you to commute through thick traffic jams easily or it can just use the space between cars as a lane to rid you of the traffic jams.
The environmental concerns has been met with a small gasoline engine with low emissions and for those of you who think the side walk is an extra lane, the QuadUrban has independent suspension on all four wheels. The vehicle features signal lights, head and stop lights, bumpers, seat-belt, extinguisher and a GPS. The vehicle has a small trunk that fuses panel and battery location and can also be used to deposit things like helmet and beacons. On the top of this, the vehicle is maneuverable and street legal.

Those of you out there who don’t hesitate to wet in sweat in order to remain fit; this monster penny farthing offers the ideal ride. However, it’s far from a common penny farthing that you might have come across scores of time but is equipped with a monster truck tire as a front wheel that will make your drive a strenuous one. Dubbed the Monsterbike, it’ll ask you great exertion and time because it merely has a top speed just above walking pace. And the most cardinal thing is you won’t be afraid of intimidation in traffic. So, if you have all that time and big nuts to pedal this monster penny farthing, it will give you a ride in style and acclamation by the onlookers as well as on road vehicles.

The brainchild of Josep Ferriol, the Volkswagen Kai-Nalu concept car has been created as a part of his final year thesis. The futuristic sports car concept with unique design is composed of two distinctly different elements: the waves of the Mediterranean Sea and shoreline rocks. The concept car features flowing glass upper section which is inspired by the waves of the Mediterranean Sea and is designed to mimic the sea; whereas the angular, jagged bodywork underneath represents the rocks of the coastline.
The mixture of two different shapes and textures represents the dynamic and forceful appearance, similar to the waves. The other unique features of the concept include highly stylized wheels which were inspired by the appearance of bicycle wheels; VW logo in the center is balanced and mounted on a bearing and clear roof. Also, there are windows and upper bodywork that provides a glimpse of the vehicle’s electric drive-train, featuring two separate motors – one mounted upfront and the other at the rear to help balance out weight distribution.

Founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company in 1922, by two motorcycle enthusiasts, Sir William Lyons, William Walmsley, the SS Jaguar name first appeared on a 2.5 litre saloon in 1935, sports models of which were the SS 90 and SS 100.
The Jaguar name was given to the entire company in 1945 when the "SS" name was dropped due to its association with Germany's SS military organisation much publicised and in Britain greatly reviled during and following World War II.
Cash was short after the war and Jaguar sold to Rubery Owen the plant and premises of Motor Panels, a pressed steel body manufacturing company which had been acquired in the late 1930s when growth prospects had seemed more secure.

Nevertheless, Jaguar achieved relative commercial success with their early post war models: times were also tough for other Coventry based auto-makers and the company was able to buy from John Black's Standard Motor Company the plant on which Standard had built the six cylinder engines which, hitherto, they had been supplying to Jaguar.

The supercharged S-Type R joined the lineup in 2002, and the hope was that it would compete with BMW's M5 and the Mercedes E55 AMG. The R was powered by the newly revised 4.2 Litre V8 with an Eaton M112 supercharger producing 400 hp (300 kW; 410 PS) and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.3 s (0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.6 s).
It included 18 in (457 mm) alloy wheels, wire-mesh grille and monochromatic paint. The R also has a rear apron, side-skirts, and front apron with built-in fog-lamps, a rear spoiler, a brace located near the rear subframe, and R badging on the boot lid and both front wings. It was the most expensive S-Type, with a base price of £50,040 in the UK (US$58,995 in the United States).

The CCX is a two-door targa top and the removable roof can be stored under the front trunk meaning that, unlike many of its competitors, it can be changed at any location, not only one where the roof can be safely left.
The body, made of pre-impregnated carbon fiber and Kevlar, is 169 in (4,300 mm) long, 78.6 in (2,000 mm) wide and 44.1 in (1,120 mm) tall with a ground clearance of 3.9 in (99 mm).As with all previous Koenigsegg models, the "dihedral synchro-helix" actuation doors rotate forward and upwards similar to scissor doors though the Koenigsegg design avoids the problem of the open door obscuring the passenger's entry or exit.
