Dubbed the Madura (named after an Indonesian island famous for bull races), the concept was created – in collaboration with Lamborghini and Audi designers – for Lamborghini’s Raw Materials Project.

According to Tanevsky, “The Madura is a proposal for the first hybrid Lamborghini scheduled for 2016. Doing a car more efficient and more nature-friendly, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be exciting, good-looking and fast. (But) in my opinion this new propulsion system should be represented on the looks of the car.”

The whole design of the Madura is sleeker, more focused, and more aggressive. Up front, the Madura features slim headlights (to emphasize the cars’ width), huge air intakes, and a curvaceous hood. Out back, the front-mounted hybrid powertrain allowed Tanevsky to create a maze of intricate lines which helps to give the car a unique appearance.

The Skydeck concept is a six-seater hybrid that appears to have a relation to the CR-Z concept first shown off at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2007.  Unlike the CR-Z which is nothing more than a thinly veiled preview of an upcoming production model, the Honda Skydeck remains a pure design study at this point. While most automakers would provide a full list of specifications for a concept that is nothing more than a fiberglass buck, Honda isn’t bothering with even that.

The Skydeck appears to have a higher rear-end with a flatter roofline.  It also has a new front-end that eliminates the sports features seen on the CR-Z nearly two years ago.  Honda has tinted the windows green, adding other green touches to give a stereotypical, “environmentally friendly” look. The MPV comes with a center-mounted battery to give more space inside the cabin.  It has three rows of seating, with a pair of seats in each row.

Volkswagen Eos GT Sport also will be available with rear windows, cherry red LED taillights, chrome grille slats, and darkened headlights. While for its equipment list, Volkswagen Eos GT Sport providing Climatronic and an RCD 510 multimedia system.

Unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show late last year, the Pod concept vehicle is collaboration between Toyota and Sony that takes the relationship between car and driver to a new level. The Pod is able to provide this feedback through a series of sensors that detect and store data on the driver’s preferences. This extends well beyond musical taste, with sensors detecting variations in driving conditions, appropriate use of steering wheel, accelerator and brakes, the pulse and the perspiration level of the driver – the Pod even employs a face recognition sensor to detect if the driver is falling asleep. For example the mini pod picked up on a the name of a band whilst you were at home and this name is subsequently mentioned during conversation in the car, the Pod will immediately begin surfing the Internet to download and play their songs.

The ’smart’ capabilities of the Pod also extend beyond the realm of entertainment – the driving data collected by the car can be compared with pre-recorded ‘expert’ data and the driver given warnings or encouragement through text on the Pod’s monitor. The car also features a hands only ‘drive-by-wire’ control system enabling steering, braking and acceleration to be operated through a single controller.

The colour changing LED panels on the front that make up the Pod’s smiling face turn yellow with happiness as the driver approaches – we’re not sure exactly what you have to do to make it wag its tail – and orange during normal operation when all systems are running smoothly. Two more colours also appear – blue for sadness when the fuel runs out or the Pod is ‘neglected’ by a long period of misuse, and red for anger when braking heavily or driving aggressively. And if the Pod is happy and it senses that its occupants are happy it will capture the moment by taking your photograph.

Although still at concept stage, the prototype of the Pod can be driven and is technically ready for practical use – the drawback is that its operation is dependent on communications infrastructure such as the radio DSRC (dedicated short range communication) system, so your chances of replacing Rover with a four-wheeled pet in the not too distant future will come down to where you live.

4 Seat MINI Crossover

Destination: The journey itself. So the purpose of the trip is a journey itself. No matter what route that passed by all to give pleasure apart. There the strength of a cross-terrain vehicle, as is being tried MINI, MINI Crossover with the launch next year for the European market.

First appear as a concept car at the Paris Auto Show last year. However, the MINI also affirm that this tiny car will be marketed next year and will become of the form exhibited in the event Frankfurt Auto Show, next September. “Once launched at the Paris Auto Show, a lot of response from the public and the experts are good enough, so we decided to produced 4 weeks after the appearance in Paris,” said Wolfgang Armbrecht, MINI brand management.

Main design is not far different from the MINI that has been circulating. Same with the MINI Clubman with the body more elastic. But space is big enough goods to give up a little place with a capacity of 4 individual units. Armbrecht also said, should use this crossover MINI 4WD fully. Maximum length of 4 meters, “But this control must be such as Crossover in Go Karting,” he said. So, really easy and fun for all the people in it.

The Ibiza Ecomotive Car

The sporty SEAT Ibiza has just turned green – and there’s not a hybrid drive­train or electric motor in sight. Badged ECOmotive, the newcomer is based on the standard Ibiza 1.4 TDI, and borrows technology from parent firm Volkswagen’s Polo BlueMotion. This change reduces both drag and weight.

As a result of these changes, the ECO­motive weighs 1,119kg, which is 22kg less than the standard car. Yet the equipment list is still reasonable, there’s plenty of space and the Ibiza is comfortable, too. Out on the road, the ECOmotive impresses. Back to the Ibiza. Seat has trimmed the regular 1.4 TDI’s emissions of 119g/km by playing with the engine management, lengthening the five-speed manual’s ratios and adding 14-inch, low rolling resistance tyres. It works brilliantly. You’re quickly aware that the Ecomotive has unusually tall gearing and a 70mph motorway cruise equals just 2000rpm. There’s no stop-start to fathom. No electric drive. The Ecomotive relies on simplicity for its frugality.

BMW Sporty Clubman Cooper

The Clubman Cooper D’s driving enjoyment and performance are first rate. As with petrol versions of the sporty Clubman, it has precise steering, great body control and bags of character.

Whereas many manufacturers dress up eco brands with specific badges and bonnets, BMW prefers instead to spread its plant-friendly technology across its entire range. Features include a regenerative braking function, which uses brake energy to recharge a hi-tech battery via the alternator, which results in less engine drag. The MINI is even more economical than conventional diesel superminis – ‘green’ competition instead comes from the SEAT Ibiza ECOmotive, Polo Bluemotion and Skoda Fabia GreenLine.

The benefit of the Clubman is that extra rear door, opening onto a roomier rear cabin, while the twin rear doors reveal a larger boot than the standard hatch, too. Test model averaged 57mpg – an excellent result, and better even than the Polo Bluemotion and SEAT Ibiza ECOmotive. Retained vales are also excellent.

It has a hybrid powertrain. It’s shorter than a Toyota RAV4. And it’s able to leap into the high-occupancy vehicle lane in a single bound! That’s right: It’s the Toyota A-BAT concept. This is Toyota’s first glimpse at retaking the compact pickup segment, a niche almost no one plays in these days. However, with a hybrid powerplant, perhaps Toyota sees this body style as one that will draw in status seekers much like the Prius did the past few years.
The A-Bat has a small four-foot long truck bed that can expand to six-feet with the midgate lowered and eight-feet with both the midgate and tailgate lowered. A sliding drawer underneath the bed can be accessed even with the tailgate up. You’ll have to see the photo of that one. There are also solar panels on top of the dash turning it into an energy generator instead of a place to melt sunglasses.
