Ciculus Concept Car Looks More Like a Vacuum Cleaner

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Concept cars will always come in all shapes and sizes. But then again, don’t expect them to carry the usual appealing car designs we have been used to from the past years. Futuristic concepts often carry a dome shaped if not oval concept which are associated on what the future looks like. For some designers, the whole concept is perhaps to complement the car make and seating accommodations which is very important.

However, you may find this new concept car donning a familiar shape. It does look like the traditional vacuum cleaner on three wheels. The Circulus Car runs on hydrogen fuel cell power. Just like most modern vehicles, it is designed for one driver and a passenger. It carries the large front glass which we see in futuristic movies and is actually an entry into the 2009 Michelin Challenge design contest.

Again, this is only a concept for now. But this early, weird or not, you can bet that this car already has an identity as the “vacuum cleaner car”!

BMW S.X. Concept

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Despite losing one of their prized and controversial auto designers in the industry today, the BMW continues to hum. Designs may not necessarily be the marquee of most BMW vehicles today but apparently expect them to continue trying.

Such should be the case of the budding new BMW concept called the BMW S.X. concept, a brainchild of lulian Bimbu, a Milan design student. The BMW S.X. projects a futuristic look, something we see evolving from most cars in the market today.

Racy and certainly something futuristic, this car design may yet pass the BMW standards to make them stand out from the other car manufacturers which ironically seem to be carrying the same design. The only thing is who will come first, a benchmark that erases the tag of a copycat once their new cars come out in the market.
