Concept cars are cool because they look futuristic. They make us dream of driving something amazing.
But most concept cars never see production. And even though we love looking at these crazy cars, very few of them will actually become reality.
In order to bring a concept car to life, engineers must spend years working on making sure that it’s safe and practical enough to be released as a consumer product.
Engineers have to work with many factors, including safety regulations, cost, fuel efficiency, etc. It takes a lot of research and development to create a new type of vehicle.
But just because a concept car doesn’t get built doesn’t mean it’s not worth taking a peek inside.
Some concepts are really interesting, and others are downright bizarre.
Here are 5 of the craziest concept cars from around the world.
Craziest concept cars that give us a glimpse of the future
Aston Martin Lagonda Vision
A few years ago, Aston Martin tried using the Lagonda nameplate again. Things didn’t quite go according to plan.
But the Lagonda Vision is an interesting concept that could change the way we think about cars.
With a living room-like interior made of high-end material, Aston Martin challenges the traditional idea of luxury by creating an environment that feels luxurious but isn’t necessarily so.
One of Aston Martin’s most innovative ideas in recent years was the Lagonda Vision, which featured up-market features such as front seats that could be rotated to face rear passengers, a rear-hinged door, hidden lights, and a sliding shelf behind the back seat, and a levitating ignition key.
Aston Martin is known for its luxurious cars, but this future concept is an interesting proposal for luxury SUV’s.
DS X E-Tense
The DS X E Tense is DS Automobiles’ creative imagination of how sports car designs might look in 2035.
The 100 percent electric car looks like two cars merged together, almost like the motorcycle/sidecar concept.
The craziest features on the DS X E-tense include two engines for both normal and sporty driving modes, a carbon fiber chassis, and self-healing bodywork.
The concept car has a three-seater layout, an open pilot’s seat, and a passenger compartment for two people.
As part of the design process for the passenger compartment of the car, DS Automobiles designed the seats to include feathers, made sure there was an espresso machine in the side panel, included a glass floor, and added a futuristic look.
Rolls Royce Vision Next 100
If you think of Rolls Royce, you’ll think of luxury because that’s what makes them famous.
Rolls Royce doesn’t seem to be backing away from luxury, and they intend to convey that message in their Vision Next 100 concept car.
Rolls Royce has created an entirely new concept car that is fully electric like other concept cars. It has been designed to be completely autonomous.
The autonomous vehicle will do more than just be able to drive itself without any human intervention.
Rolls Royce has installed artificial intelligence into its new concept car called Eleanor. It’s always there for its passengers’ needs.
Lamborghini Terzo Millennio
Lamborghini Terzo Millennio is an example of what Lamborghini’s first electric supercar might look like.
It is the first hybrid supercar built by Lamborghini featuring an electric motor alongside its legendary 6.5-liter engine at the back axle.
Lamborghini claims that this supercar can go from zero to 62mph in just 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 218 mph.
The clever design features four electric motors – one motor in each wheel – giving room for even more creative options such as a super low F1 racing seat driving position.
Apart from the futuristic look, this concept car differs from others because its skin is made of self-healing carbon fiber.
It has an innovative carbon fiber finishing that generates its own heat.
If the carbon fiber detects a small scratch or cracks in its bodywork, advanced aerospace polymer technology will emit glue-like materials that fuse the carbon fiber back together.
This prevents the crack from spreading so that the entire piece doesn’t need to be replaced.
What is the coolest concept car in the world?
This is very subjective but in our humble opinion, one of the coolest concept cars ever made is the Mercedes Vision AVTR.
Mercedes Benz is famous because they develop and produce some of the best quality cars and have a class.
Vision AVTR is an experimental vehicle designed after the Oscar-winning film Avatar.
The vehicle has an Avatar movie theme and preserves nature like in the movie Avatar.
The Vision AVTR has no metal parts, so there is nothing harmful to the environment when the car is disposed of. It also runs on an organic battery.
Furthermore, the vehicle has bionic flaps that look like scales on its rear end.
These bionic flappers will let drivers connect with the outside world.
Do concept cars ever get made?
If they’re practical enough to be built and popular enough to expect profits, they will be made.
A concept car is often used to determine if there is enough interest for a production version of an unusual design.
Since concept cars aren’t actually sold to the public, stylists don’t need to worry about laws, costs of series production,, or whether they’re practical.
The main goal is to build an image of the company so people know they’re dealing with a real innovator.
It should be innovative and push the boundaries.
After the car has been developed for production, a large number of things get discarded.
There are certain features that aren’t allowed by law, some parts are extremely difficult to produce in large quantities, some parts could be made but would increase the cost of the vehicle too high, some features may create too much wind noise, and so forth.
After going through the entire process, you end up having a lot less interesting vehicle than the original one was.
