Opel Amphibian Sport Cars Icona Concept

Opel Amphibian Sport Cars Icona Concept

The Opel Icona Concept Cars is a design study of a futuristic amphibian electric vehicle with a sporty design and retracteable wheels. Keeping such scenario in mind, Swedish designer Juan Pablo Bernal P has designed a futuristic vehicle for the year 2050 that moves on both land and water with equal efficiency. Called the “OPEL ICONA,” the V-shaped commuter vehicle features an aerodynamic body to ensure minimal air resistance for better performance in all conditions. The V shaped dynamic design uses distinctive shapes, forms, patterns and proportions which are express the sporty and leisure-oriented character of the vehicle.

Running on natural sources of energy, the all-electric vehicle generates power from electric motors to allow a clean and green drive. The zero-emission car would not only allow a sustainable drive but also become a means of entertainment to create a special bond between the family members as well as society.

The Opel Amphibian Sport Cars Icona Concept is a hybrid car that can traverse land and sea is nothing new despite being the stuff of dreams at least half a century ago, but this concept cars takes things to a whole new level. It can transport an adult and a child. The Opel Icona project was developed in collaboration with Opel by Juan Pablo Bernal at the Umea Institute of Design, Sweden.

Opel Amphibian Sport Cars Icona Concept features two modes of operation Viz. Land mode and Water Mode to run on ground and water respectively. When the vehicle runs on the ground the sail remains wrapped in the storage area; however, as soon as the occupant puts the vehicle on the water mode the sail retracts and the wheel arms rotate inboard to reduce drag, thus enabling this vehicle to cruise on water with the same speed and elegance.

eVaro Sports Cars Electric Vehicles Concept

This is the eVaro, a hybrid three-wheeler with sports cars performance. A Canadian company has unveiled its answer to the Tesla electric sports cars. The teardrop-shaped eVaro is a hybrid three-wheeler that combines miserly fuel consumption with sports cars acceleration. The designers of the eVaro Sports Cars Electric Vehicles Concept claim it has a top speed of more than 200km/h and can travel more than 200km on electric power only.

eVaro Sports Cars Electric Vehicles Concept

The makers, Future Vehicle Technologies, say the car is more practical than the electric-only Tesla because it removes the “range anxiety” that comes with an all-electric car. The electric motor can be charged at home in three hours. They claim the car has three wheels instead of four to save fuel and make the car corner better.

Here are some coolest electric vehicles, designed and produced by companies of the United States, Canada and Japan. These electric cars are on display at the 2010 Electric Vehicles Trade Show in Vancouver, Canada, on Sept. 15, 2010.

The eVaro Sports Cars Electric Vehicles Concept is an extended-range electric vehicle that uses a carbon-fiber, Kevlar, and aluminum subframe. Parker claims the car has a 120-130 mile range on electric power, and a total range of 460 miles. The eVaro uses a 1.1-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, and it has a total weight of about 2,000 pounds.

The striking eVaro is surprisingly easy to enter, with the large canopy opening wide. There is room for a set of golf clubs to the left of the driver. There is an exterior trunk to the right of the driver and behind the passenger, giving the car more functionality than it might at first appear.

The eVaro Sports Cars Electric Vehicles Concept is one of 43 finalists an entrant in the Automotive X-Prize, a US-based competition that will award $10 million in prizemoney to makers of a super fuel-efficient vehicle. To qualify, each entrant has to be able to achieve 100 miles to the gallon (2.3 litres per 100km), while providing acceptable performance.

FVT hopes to use the publicity surrounding the contest as a springboard to a initial production run of 3000 cars.
