Como é do conhecimento dos utilizadores deste fórum, ou pelo menos, de grande parte (penso eu), há estudantes que dão largas à imaginação e fazem shops, entre outros trabalhos.

Deste modo, decidi criar este tópico para mostrar estes dois trabalhos.

Primeiro, o DS24 (já mencionado num outro tópico há uns tempos) realizado por Ugo Spagnolo, um estudante do Institut Superieur de Design:

Gábor Farkas, um designer independente, fez isto:
YouTube - Mitsubishi GalEA - 97 Galant EA revival







(Mais imagens na fonte)

MITSUBISHI GALEA [From Gábor Farkas]

Mitsubishi GalEA is a design study that uses styling elements of the recent Mitsubishi 'jet-fighter' design language. It was born to revive the 1997 Galant EA as a four-door coupé. The EA inspired the 'jet-fighter' design language and now it returns as a four-door sportcoupé.

This time, the design of the car was teased via the Mitsubishi GalEA Facebook page and the final result has been refined at some point according to user-reactions.

At the front you can recognize some details that were borrowed from the Mitsubishi Concept RA but the other parts of the body have an individual new styling with waving lines which have already been introduced on the Mitsubishi Concept CS.

The wheelbase and the proportions of the body also hint at a front engine with rear wheel drive layout. In the inside you can see premium materials and four individual seats. The dashboard has clear and elegant styling.

About the name: it refers to the Galant EA but also has another meaning. A galea was a Roman soldier's helmet. Some gladiators also wore a bronze galea with a face mask and a decoration, often a fish on its crest.

Main dimensions

length: 4745 mm (186.8 in)
width: 1948 mm (79.7 in)
height: 1343 mm (52.9 in)

front track: 1722 mm (67.8 in)
rear track: 1706 mm (67.2 in)
wheelbase: 3070 mm (120.9 in)
length/wheelbase ration: 1.55
wheels: 205/40 R 18

Reinterpretação do Alpine A110 por David Cardoso

Here is what David told Carscoop about his design: “I made a modern interpretation of the Renault Alpine A110. Like the original Alpine, this concept has a rear engine and a stretched silhouette. The rear is inspired by the Dezir Concept while the front has influences of the Nepta Concept. Could be a direct competitor (or ally since Nissan is in the Renault group) for the Nissan 370Z.”

Trabalho de Thierry Dumaine

Remember a few years ago when every wannabe gangsta was buying those awful “spinner” alloys for their beat up old Chevys and Oldsmobiles? Well, French artist and teacher Thierry Dumaine (who sounds like a character from a historical romance) has taken the concept of the spinner and applied it to an imaginary hydrid he calls the Ventile.

It’s all very simple. You know those bicycles that have pedal powered lights? Same principle, though in this case the fans are turned by the circular motion of the wheels and not by being affixed to the wheels themselves.

The fans power a generator that helps recharge the Ventile’s batteries. I don’t know how well this would work in the real world, mostly due to the Law of Conservation of Energy, but really who cares.

The Ventile is a sweet looking ride; sort of like the result of a 1930’s Ford being reinvented by MINI. There’s also a large underbody fan that is turned by air rushing over the vehicle’s underside; a far more realistic prospect for energy production. It’s not unlike that wind turbine car those two Germans used to cross Australia a few weeks back.

Dumaine’s creation was an entrant in the 2011 Michelin’s Challenge Design showcase, an annual exhibition of new automotive design talent on the web. You can check out our gallery below.

Diseno-Art idealiza Caterham 7

...

With larger proportions and more refinement than the archaic (yet still beautiful) lines of the current generation, the New 7 is designed to be uniquely tailored to each customer’s needs and offer a high level of customer service while still holding to the brand’s philosophy of lightweight, simple and fun.


The New 7 incorporates body parts that are easily removable for maintenance, a direct injection four-cylinder engine (with room for a variety of other types of engine at the client’s request), rear wheel drive and a manual transmission. It’s all very believable and not as farfetched as some of the design study’s we’ve featured on the site before.

Reptile, uma espécie de KTM X-Bow ou Ariel Atom - Artuto Arino

If the KTM X-Bow and Ariel Atom have taught us anything, it is that simple, stripped-down cars with go-kart like handling and supercar performance are the shiz. With that in mind, Mexican industrial designer Arturo Arino presents us with the Reptile, an imaginary hybrid racer that can also be driven on the streets. Equipped with a 2.7 L Wankel rotary producing a theoretical 700 hp (552 kW) at 9,000 rpm, a 4-pole electric induction motor and regenerative braking to recharge the batteries, this lightweight / topless roadster epitomizes the long held motoring philosophy that, “less is more”.

With seating for two and what looks like a touch screen entertainment system a la the Nissan GT-R’s multifunction display, the Reptile would – if it existed – offer a fine balance between pure performance, creature comfort and environmental responsibility. Take for instance the rotary engine, which kicks in only when the Reptile’s put in RACE mode.

With looks to die for and a paint scheme possibly inspired by Fiat’s legendary Abarth models, the Reptile is sadly little more than a (very good) illustration. Check out our gallery below and leave your piece in the comments section.

Este nem sei se pertence aqui... 2012 Gray Design Strand Craft Limousine Beach Cruise









Press release:

New Luxury Niche

Todays luxury market is thriving, and the limousine beach cruiser opens a new niche in the luxury sector.

The Strand Craft Limousine Beach Cruiser caters towards the luxury hotel chains that want to offer their clients premium service in a way that has not been addressed before. Optimized for maximum visibility in sun soaked regions, the limousine is well equipped to convey its passengers in maximum comfort and style to some of the best beaches in the world.

The long, low lines, in true Strand Craft tradition, make for an extremely sleek first impression. Styling cues such as the canvas roof, chromed hubcaps and wooden inlays cast the mind back to the glorious days of summer freedom while the whole concept is raised to a new level by the quality of it's lines and build.

Quality Throughout

The interior is finished in Alcantara leather with trim highlights in brushed aluminum and chrome. On board clockwork in the instrument panel from Breitling and trim details accentuated with crystals from Swarovski continue the theme of luxury throughout the vehicle.

Featuring a sound system from Naim that uses a 1100 Watt amplifier to deliver premium sound quality to up to 15 speakers, the quality of music will never be compromised even when the canvas roof is fully opened.

Power comes from a 6 liter V8 engine under the hood, capable of generating 400 horsepower and pushing the vehicle to it's limited top speed of 220 kph. This power is delivered to all four wheels via a Haldex system, giving maximum traction and performance over sand covered roads.

2030 Mercedes-Benz Aria Concept 'Swan Wing' por Slavche Tanevski

Mais um projecto de um estudante, "antevê" como será o Mercedes eléctrico em 2030.

This is the Mercedes-Benz Aria Concept "Swan Wing" by student Slavche Tanevski.
This design concept imagines what an electric-drive Mercedes-Benz will look like in 2030 and was done as Tanevski's Bachelor Thesis at the Munich University of Applied Sciences under the tutelage of Mercedes-Benz designers.
Tanevski's obvious talents should take him far and we wish him well.
The video highlights the Aria's design features and its influences such as the female form and flowing hair.

Mercedes-Benz Aria
Mercedes-Benz Aria is a vision of the luxurious mobility of 2030.

Even though electric powered, it still carries the qualities of a car which fascinate people: sleek silhouette, dynamic proportions, sexy sculpture. Due to its modern appeal it's a car to go to a disco club in New York in, flamboyant enough for Monaco and Dubai and yet sophisticated, elegant and authentic for a Concours d'Elegance.

Themes
I tended to do a car that has a timeless beauty, instead of being a fashionable design peace. So I asked myself, what body, which product has this quality? - Musical instruments.
The piano for example, when it's closed it looks elegant, classy, noble. It lives from its proportions and the surface finish. When open, one sees the keyboard, the strings etc. which put the product to another level. Despite their basic function, these elements give the object another, aesthetical quality. They give richness to it, they surprise the viewer. The same happens with the Aria. When you see the car on first glance you read the oblong form. You see a sculpture inspired by woman's body, violin, Coke-Bottle; supported by tensioned and articulated lines which give the car definition and character.
On second view you discover the aero pins which define the tail volume; you discover the attention to details on the wheels, the interior and so on.
The main inspiration for the exterior is the flying hair. Something very likeable, spontaneous and elegant. Beautiful long hair formed by the wind-is there something more aerodynamical?
For the design concept to be something special, it needs an X-factor. It needs a different dimension. Something unusual, provocative, impossible, maybe even bizarre. Therefore I continued my research in the world of fashion and modern architecture.

Front
The front of the car should represent its character. It should look concentrated on the road and be serious. That's why Alexander's helmet is being used as reference. It is a symbol of power, leadership and has also protective aesthetics. At the same time the traditional Mercedes-Benz grille is being subtly indicated.
The vehicle has wheel hub electric engines, so the air intakes are positioned on the sides instead of the center. The volumes around are dictated by the aerodynamics. The arrow like traditional Benz nose is still there to change the direction of the air. The fascia form ensemble is being supported by two shovel-formed blades which again divide the air and channel it to the E-engines and brakes respectively.

Side
When you see the car in sideview, you read the sleek trapezoid shape. Very stretched body, with very low greenhouse. The roofline is coupe-like and is subjunctively integrated in the body, for a better flow appearance. The character line is positioned very low and is a quotation of the Mercedes 500K Specialroadster. It supports the car's stylish appearance and by being analog to the roofline it also makes the car homogen and stresses the flow and the dynamic. The belt line is typically drop shaped, which again speaks about the aerodynamic efficiency of the car and gives it status and elegance. The front half of the shoulder edge has the opposite direction to give the car push-forward effect.

Surface management
The crisp character lines, in contrast, are connected by rather soft and mainly positive surfaces which show the car's muscles. The surfaces articulate the reflections to achieve dynamism also in the surface itself by avoiding too many creases and showing an interesting play of light and shadow. The radii and the direction changes on the surfaces are similar to those of a silk dress, which again speaks about the elegant appearance of the Aria.

Wheels
The wheels represent the electric drivetrain. It has a five-spoke configuration, but these are melted into a nice sculpture, as reference to the form language of the exterior. It has big depth which support the stance of the car. The volume is segmented to give the rim an electric feeling, to express the craft precision and to reduce weight. The wheel is secured by copper wires, which also optically support the electrical character as copper wires are used in the electric engine itself as working elements.
The Mercedes-Benz logo is pulled outside and has a floating impression. It is static when the car drives.

Interior
The main characteristic/innovation of the interior is its modularity and the way it is connected to the body of the car. The interior is not welded to the exterior but wired to the copper skeleton. This makes it easily interchangeable. Like your furniture at home, you can change the interior of your car, or you change the body style. This enables customers to better match their car with their needs and personality. Instead of buying a car as a package one can buy separately a body and separately an interior.
This innovative connecting system also allows better comfort. The wires have certain flexibility and represent a second suspension system. Inspired by a cradle, the system enables actually a flying sensation for the passengers.
The design statement set with the exterior is even stronger in the interior. The flow continues inside the car as well. It's represented by the main central metallic frame and continues on the conjunctive seats. At the front the "dashboard" is formed by two piano black leafs which "levitate" over the ray-shaped structure and enhouse the steering wheel as well as the airbags. The atmosphere in the cabin is very airy and roomy to give the feeling of freedom.
The contrast as art element has been used for choosing the forms and materials in the interior. There are 5 different materials/colours used. Copper and aluminium as strength factors, leather and piano black surfaces as symbol of high class, noblesse, exclusivity. The wood floor resembles a yacht deck.

Fiat Coupé / Dino - Peter Norris

After the axing of the Fiat Coupe in 2000, the Italian brand's range was left without a coupe. And that's where British designer Peter Norris steps in with a new study that envisions a future sports car model for Fiat. However, this concept would not necessarily make a successor to the affordable Fiat Coupe, as the car carries a Pininfarina badge, thus hinting to a more luxurious model. The study is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive luxury sports car that aims to embody the essence of the Italian thoroughbred. Judging from the drivetrain layout, this concept would be more of a successor to the 1960's RWD Fiat Dino rather than to the late 1990s FWD Fiat Coupe designed by Chris Bangle.

The coupe sports a sleek profile and a very low roofline, which make the wheels seem colossal. It also has an aggressive stance thanks to the massive wheelarches, while the front end brings to mind modern-day Aston Martins, especially the shape of the headlights and the upright bumper. The rear features C-shaped LED light units and central exhaust pipes that give the coupe an elegant look.

The designer explained that the project started as “a reboot of the Fiat Coupe”, representing a vision of a present day model. An ex-Fiat Coupe owner, Peter Norris changed his mind halfway through the project and switched to a luxury coupe, hence the Pininfarina badges on the car.

“I used to own a Fiat Coupe 16v Turbo, and whilst it frequently broke down and cost me a fortune in repair bills, I just didn’t have the heart to get rid of it. I still turn my head every time one drives past me,” Norris told Carbodydesign.

“The Pininfarina styling inside as much as outside just oozes with Italian flair and really was, and still is different to anything else on the road. Some people have referred to it as a 'baby Ferrari'.

So I began sketching out ideas for a Fiat Coupe for 2012. After roughing out the body in 3d I changed my mind and decided that I wanted to build something that was more of a luxury rather than a budget sports car and wondered what a car designed by Pininfarina under its own badge might look like, and so it evolved from there,” Norris concluded.

Porsche 929 by Julliana Cho

The 2+2 coupe is a long-standing tradition in motoring. The Porsche 928, Lamborghini Espada and Ferrari 330 GTC all adhered to this formula with impressive results.

UK designer Julliana Cho’s Porsche 929 concept study builds on this tradition while also weaving aerodynamic styling, the brand’s design heritage and an innovating car sharing program into the mix.

The 929’s theoretical dimensions make it smaller than the Porsche Panamera but larger than the 911. Aside from the design itself, what makes the 929 stands out from the pack is Cho’s imaginative (though possibly impractical and expensive) car sharing scheme.

Interested parties join the Porsche Car Sharing club and receive a smart key in the mail. They then activate their smart key and finalise their personal details online before moving on to the next step.

Here, club members can specify everything from body shape to interior configuration as well as wheel design, exterior paint and material options. Once these details have been saved, club members locate their nearest charging station where their car is quite literally assembled before their eyes. When finished, the cars are returned to the charging station and disassembled ready for the next customer.

At least, that’s what I gathered from the young female designer's illustrations. I may be wrong, and welcome any corrections Cho or our readers care to provide. You can check out our full gallery of images below.

Kawasaki ZX-770R Concept by Sabino Leerentveld

If KTM could pull it off with the X-BOW, then why couldn't any other motorcycle maker take the leap and venture into the automotive business with a special lightweight sports car? Though it is a simple question, (obviously) the answer is far more complex than it seems at a first glance.

But in the fantasy land of designers, there are no restrictions or limits, only a desire to create. And for Dutch designer Sabino Leerentveld, who we came to know through his Aston Martin V12 and BMW Nazca Homage prototypes, the answer to the previous question is the Kawasaki ZX-770R Concept.


Inspired by the KTM X-BOW, Leerentveld dreamed up a similar project for the Japanese motorcycle company Kawasaki. However, the ZX-770R is larger sports car measuring 4,427mm long, 1,017mm tall and 2,073mm wide with a wheelbase of 2,710mm.


Leerentveld says the sports car would tip the scales at (a rather overly optimistic) 500kg or 1,102 pounds, while power would be provided by a twin-turbocharged V6 producing about 770-horsepower.

Project Flake concept car

Começou como projecto final na Conventry University, um projecto de Da Feng que envolve 250 painéis controlados por mini solenoides. E ao que parece um ex-engenheiro da Williams F1 achou que a ideia tinha potencial, embora precise de ajustes.

Active aerodynamics are beginning to make their way into production vehicles, but adaptive winglets and electro-hydraulic flaps can't hold a candle to Da Feng's Flake concept.

Partially inspired by the lateral movement of the Cars characters, the ash from his cigarettes and concepts like BMW's Gina, Feng's vehicle started nearly three years ago as his final project at Conventry University.

What you see here is the third iteration of the Flake, which uses 250 active body panels controlled by mini solenoids pulling on carbon nano-tube wires. The result is a body that can lay flat to decrease drag, hinge upward to slow the vehicle and collect solar power or open fully to aid cornering and increase downforce.

Just as trick are the "D-Wheels" which are made up of 12 individual legs that extend upwards and contract downwards to fit the driving surface. Both the wheels and the body structure act as part of the suspension, allowing the Flake to corner hard and even go off road. Theoretically.

If it all sounds like science fiction, it is (and props to Feng for the shout-out to Snowcrash), but the budding designer did speak with an ex-Williams Formula 1 engineer who said the idea and execution is sound – with a few more tweaks. Check out the design in the gallery above and the video after the jump.

Alfa Romeo Minhoss Concept por IDECORE

Even though in recent years Alfa Romeo's formal presence in the concept scene has been limited to the 4C pre-production study, independent designers and studios alike have tried their best to cover the Italian firm's absence and capture the imagination of the public with plenty of conceptual proposals. IDECORE, an Italian studio that bills itself as "independent designers and modelers" and which you may remember from last year's Monza V8 study, sent us these computer generated images of a new Alfa Romeo concept named Minhoss.

The Minhoss is a study for a smaller Alfa Romeo sports coupe designed by Marco Marchese.
The young Italian designers tells us that his creation "takes inspiration from the ancient Minoan civilization, melting it carefully with style elements from different models of Alfa Romeo's past and present".

The concept was penned to be around 4.1-meters in length (approx. 162-inches long) with power preferably coming from Alfa's 1.75-liter turbocharged four-cylinder TBi engine tuned to develop around 265-ponies.

Marchese says that the Minhoss would feature a traditional layout with the engine mounted up front, and the gearbox and driving axle at the rear.

Take a look at the high-res photos below and tell us what you think.

Nevala Phoenix 2011

• The story of "Nevala Phoenix 2011" took place when i was sketching cars of 1930s/40s style. Many hours and sketches later the car design had evolved into a modern supercar which still had some characteristics from the past.

Estudantes da Universidade Lawrence Tech - Colin Bonathan e Jeeho Cha

Um projecto aprovado/apoiado pela Ford Motor Company, o Continental é um puro eléctrico "para 2025". Tudo começou no Verão do ano passado quando os alunos tiveram a ideia de fazer um protótipo como parte do programa do curso de ambos em design de transportes.

Bonathan, responsável pelo desenho exterior do carro começou por escolher a distância entre eixos desejada para o projecto, apenas depois tomou conta da disposição dos ocupantes, do sistema eléctrico e de todos os outros componentes, após tudo isto, tratou do desenho exterior do carro. Cha criou o desenho interior do carro.

At the 2012 Detroit Auto Show that comes to an end on Sunday, January 22, Lincoln put on display the MKZ Concept to preview both the looks of its soon to be launched mid-size sedan as well the brand's new styling direction.

But FoMoCo isn't the only one to present a design concept for a future Lincoln as the Lawrence Tech University had its own proposal in the form of a quarter-scale model for a pure-electric Continental for 2025.

The study for a luxury sedan model is the work of Lawrence Tech students Colin Bonathan and Jeeho Cha and it was endorsed by the Ford Motor Company.
It all started in the summer of 2011 when Bonathan and Cha came up with plans for a Lincoln concept as part of their undergraduate degree program in transportation design. The university said that Ford officials liked the concept so much that they commissioned the quarter-scale model for display at the Detroit event.

Bonathan, who was responsible for the exterior design, says that he began by choosing the desired wheelbase length and then placed the occupants, the electrical system and other components in the Continental study before finalizing the design.

His partner Cha created the interior of the Lincoln concept model. It was his first take on designing the cabin of an automobile. "I like doing interiors more now. It’s not just one form, but several forms that have to be designed in a cohesive way. There are more problems to solve,” said Cha.

Hop over the break to check out the design renderings from the various phases of the project.
