Designed to offer a unique driving experience, the XSeed Hybrid Sports Cars Concept by Marcos Beltrao seats two passengers and looks to offer the high performance of a lightweight sports car. The styling of the XSeed Hybrid Sports Cars Concept by Marcos Beltrao is unique as well, being part sports car and part buggy.  It’s open top design, wide, scooped body and large wheels speak of a dune buggy while its lower chassis and wide stance are all for sport handling. Designed to offer a unique driving experience, the hybrid XSeed concept vehicle by designer Marcos Beltrao seems to have taken it one step further. The XSeed Hybrid Sports Cars Concept by Marcos Beltrao appears to have married the idea of an electric buggy and a roadster together, thus allowing the the hybrid concept can be operated with gas and ethanol as well as an electric engine.

The 1600cc four-cylinder engine that the XSeed Hybrid Sports Cars Concept by Marcos Beltrao is powered by makes it a strong proposal for the sports cars market while its low weight and innovative design ensures a stand out yet economical performance on the road. The electric engine (thrusters located on each wheel), running alone or in combination with the flex engine produces excellent fuel economy.

 

The two engines together produce 225horsepower, making the car go from 0mph to 60mph in 4.5s. Due to the extremely lightweight and strong materials used in the XSeed Hybrid Sports Cars Concept by Marcos Beltrao, it reaches 760kg of overallweight. While driving the car, the batteries that power the electric

Made of carbon nanotubes, the tubular structure of the vehicle’s frame allows it to maintain a relatively low weight. The ceramic compound used to fashion the engine also helps in weight savings since it is much lighter than an engine made of aluminum only. Thanks to the silicon added to the ceramic, the engine is that it requires no cooling or lubrication and lasts longer. With lubrication and cooling being redundant features, the engine also does not need to have a radiator, hoses, pipes, filters and water and oil pumps which results in further space and weight savings for the vehicle. As a result, it loses weight and gains space and speed. The ceramic engine has its main components made of the same material. This composite has a very low thermal expansion coefficient and it resists extreme temperatures, exceeding metals.

Magnesium alloy is used to fashion the swanky 22-inch alloys on the vehicle. Each wheel is also fitted with independent suspension while carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is used to fashion the exterior of the vehicle to further reduce the weight of the vehicle. The vehicle has an overall weight of 760kg thanks to the strong yet extremely lightweight materials used in its creation.

Besides the engine and chassis being lighter, all car plastic parts are manufactured using the MuCell technology that reduces the weight of the material in about 25% without a significant lossin strength. This technology is based on the addition of carbon dioxide and /or nitrogen in the plastic injection process. The external body is made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) that results in a weight loss around 15% compared to the same in aluminum. The XSeed Hybrid Sports Cars Concept by Marcos Beltrao has independent suspension in eachwheel. The wheels of 22 inches are made of magnesium alloy.

Everything about the XSeed Hybrid Sports Cars Concept by Marcos Beltrao is based on current technologies being developed and so everything on the concept car is a real possibility. A very cool design thrustersare recharged by the regenerative brakes and shock absorbers system, which recover energy from brakes and oscillation of the shock absorbers. Thus, the autonomy of the XSeed Hybrid Sports Cars Concept by Marcos Beltrao increases up to 60%. and thoughtful amalgamation of several new-tech possibilities. Hopefully Marcos Beltrao, the man behind this concept will soon bring this car into production to make our dreams come true.

The Bugatti Sport Car EB.LA Concept came into being when Marian Hilgers, a bachelor’s student at the University of Pforzheim, tried to imagine what the Bugatti Veyron would have looked like had Jean Bugatti lived long enough to oversee the development of the brand through the 20th century. And The Bugatti Sport Car EB.LA Concept By Marian Hilgers is a response, an answer to the question: “What would be if Jean Bugatti would be not dead?”

The 24-year old design student imagines the design language of the brand’s most famous vehicle, the Bugatti Veyron, to be very different from what it actually is today and the Bugatti EB.LA tries to explore the form that the Veyron would have had with Jean Bugatti’s influence.

And this should merge “Technical innovation, the combination of structure and function, consistent lightweight construction and efficiency, fine mechanical precision, the connection to racing and outstanding driving performance” in the spirit of innovation and according to Marian Hilgers, Jean Bugatti.
Bugatti Sport Car EB.LA Concept By Marian Hilgers is 4.62 meters. LA long, flat and 1.96 metres wide – comparison measures 1.10 meters the Veyron 4.46 meters in length and comes almost two meters wide and 1.2 metres in height. The Bugatti Sport Car EB.LA Concept By Marian Hilgers can three people.LA record, here oriented, the seating arrangement on the McLaren F1, in which the driver is also centered and the two passenger transferred him to the rear flank. All three look through a large windscreen that per goes over into a heavily contoured hood. The Clou: only in direct front view, the outline of the legendary and now modern interpreted Bugatti radiator is to see. Strong wings create space for huge wheels in five-spoke design and pile up like two mountain ridge before the A-pillars of the Bugatti Sport Car EB.LA Concept By Marian Hilgers on.

All braces the almost classic sports car body to run on two fins at the rear, which differ greatly from the remaining design of Bugatti. These elements are similar to the radiator at the front and to the Bugatti Sport Car EB.LA Concept By Marian Hilgers  in its distinctive form. LA keep at crosswind on course.

The carbon fibre monocoque reinforced with ultra lightweight metal foam is defined by the emphatic grooves between the wheels. The subtle curves around the sides of the vehicle’s body allowing the vehicle to remain as much as 50 percent lighter than traditional vehicles since they provide the vehicle with the necessary downforce during high speed driving and negate the need for additional weight on the vehicle to maintain stability on the road.

Hence, the big weighs only 750 kg. As a leverage, not he acts a huge 8, 0 liter w16 with at least 1,001 HP, which fired the 1.9-tonne Veyron. In the Bugatti Sport Car EB.LA Concept By Marian Hilgers works a symbiosis of a supercharged four cylinder, two electric motors on the front wheels and a flywheel storage. The Bugatti with this hybrid drive to develop around 600 HP, without adding much to the carbon emissions. The Bugatti Sport Car EB.LA Concept By Marian Hilgers has emerged as Bachelor thesis in the VW Design Center in Potsdam.

2012 Infiniti Electric Sports Car Emerg-e with range-extender, initially presented with a concept-car 2012 Geneva Motor Show will be on display at Goodwood and Infiniti has constructed a running prototype that produces 402bhp from its two electric motors. After first showing it as a concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Infiniti has turned the stunning Emerg-E into a fully working prototype and plans to drive in front of a public audience at this month’s 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Goodwood is the most famous English meeting for cars whether they are oldtimers, actual or future vehicles, but all legendary! Therefore, Infiniti naturally chose this event to host the first public exhibition of the Emerg-e in motion.

The Infiniti Emerg-E Concept, is a highly advanced mid-ship sports car that provides an exciting glimpse into Infiniti's future. 2012 Infiniti Electric Sports Car Emerg-e At Geneva Motor Show is physical proof of Infiniti's intention to produce a bold halo model befitting the brand's promise of Inspired Performance, and also signals an array of exciting new technologies that the brand will adopt in its quest to build dramatic and sustainable high performance cars. 2012 Infiniti Electric Sports Car Emerg-e At Geneva Motor Show also provides a fresh expression of Infiniti's design language applied to a high performance, mid-ship sports car for the first time. The main challenges will be the cost of the motors and the need to outsource the car’s carbonfibre body. Infiniti’s product planning boss, Francois Bancon, said, “There is nothing really difficult to do except the carbonfibre, where we need a high-level partner.” He envisaged the Emerg-e would cost around “$150,000 (£95,000). 2012 Infiniti Electric Sports Car Emerg-e At Geneva Motor Show is also significant for being the first Infiniti that has been developed in Europe. More than that, its advanced technology deliberately draws on the knowledge of suppliers beyond Infiniti's usual base in the quest to uncover the most innovative hardware and the deepest knowledge base.

Infiniti chiefs say it is “feasible” to build a production version of its Emerg-e extended-range electric sports car. Infiniti has constructed a running prototype that produces 402bhp from its two electric motors. But Bancon and Infiniti’s chiefs were adamant, and Hardcastle’s team set to work on the Emerg-e. Unveiled today at the Geneva motor show, the extended-range electric car aims to marry sports car performance with Infiniti standards of luxury and zero-emissions driving.

Power for the sleek, rear-drive, two-seat Emerg-e comes from a pair of electric motors with a combined output of 300kW (402bhp), and the 2012 Infiniti Electric Sports Car Emerg-e At Geneva Motor Show is capable of 30 miles of travel under electric power alone. With the range extender – a Lotus-derived 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine – up to 300 miles is possible between refills. When the battery becomes low, the engine acts a generator to extend the car's range an additional 270 miles (434 km). Imagine a superfast, near silent sports car, cruising the neon-lit streets of an after-dark London. This is the compelling image that gave birth to 2012 Infiniti Electric Sports Car Emerg-e At Geneva Motor Show, and this concept is its realisation.

Infiniti Emerg-E is a highly advanced, mid-ship, electric motors powered sports car concept. It projects Infiniti's already-advanced electric vehicle technology deep into the future with a range-extender powertrain that delivers the performance expected of sports car bearing the Infiniti badge. Combining thrilling performance with the scope to drive in urban conditions for up to 30 miles with zero emissions, it emits no more than 55g/km of CO2 (NEDC cycle) over a 300 mile combined range. Infiniti Emerg-E lays down a radical new marker for mid-ship sports cars, and explores one of a number of the alternative propulsion avenues that Infiniti is considering.

Creating a sporty, dynamic and unusual flagship is one inspiration for the 2012 Infiniti Electric Sports Car Emerg-e At Geneva Motor Show programme, but equally important is Infiniti's continued exploration of alternative propulsion systems, a logical next-step for a company that is already selling the advanced Infiniti M35h. That exploration takes an unusual form with Infiniti Emerg-E, its range-extender driveline a first for Infiniti.

The Emerg-E Concept is a mid-ship electric motors powered sports car concept. It projects Infiniti’s electric vehicle technology deep into the future with a range-extender powertrain.
It has a light, ultra-compact, Lotus-engineered three-cylinder 1.2 liter 35kW engine. It operates between crank speeds of 1,500-4,000rpm, producing peak power at only 3,500rpm. Its range-extender driveline is the first for Infiniti.

The Renault Alpine A 110-50, a new concept car that marks the 50th anniversary of the Alpine A110French sports car brand. Renault has created a concept car named 2012 Renault Sports Cars Concept Alpine A 110-50, dedicated to performance and driving enjoyment. Alpine is a Renault-owned brand which produced cars between 1955 and 1995. The 2012 Renault Sports Cars Concept Alpine A 110-50's design draws on the company's previous models, but has also been strongly influenced by the Renault Dezir concept car that was unveiled in 2010. and hints at a possible return of the

To mark the 50th anniversary of the iconic Berlinette, Design Yann Jarsalle and Concept and Show Car Director Axel Breun reinterpreted the original design cues to include the new Renault design language introduced by Laurens van den Acker with the DeZir concept car, and which will soon be rolled out in the company's future models. The new front-end look, with the upright, confident diamond, has been adapted for this very low and wide car. The 2012 Renault Sports Cars Concept Alpine A 110-50 is a car of today; a bold embodiment of Renault's passion for motorsport.

"For everybody on the team, it was a dream come true to work on an Alpine concept car. We wanted to put 2012 Renault Sports Cars Concept Alpine A 110-50 firmly in the modern day, while resonating with its heritage" - Laurens van den Acker, Senior VP, Corporate Design.

Senior management figures at Renault have long suggested that the Alpine brand could return - and the 2012 Renault Sports Cars Concept Alpine A 110-50 uses proven technology that could easily be adapted for a low-volume production run. The concept uses the same platform as the Renault Megane Trophy race car and has a mid-mounted 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine that develops 395bhp. Drive is to the rear wheels, through a six-speed gearbox that uses a pedal-operated clutch and paddle shifters.

"The 2012 Renault Sports Cars Concept Alpine A 110-50 is very curvy, like the Berlinette, while expressing the three key words of our new design policy: simple, sensual and friendly" - Axel Breun. The efficiency of the Renault Alpine A110-50 concept car is largely generated by ground effect. At the front, a splitter hidden in the bumper generates low pressure, which results in significant aerodynamic downforce. At the rear, a diffuser accelerates air flow beneath the floor. Ground effect therefore accounts for more than one-third of the car's downforce, with the rest coming from an adjustable rear wing.

The 2011 Jaguar Sport cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept is a team effort between Jag and Bertone and serves as way for Bertone to celebrate its 99th Anniversary. The new compact Jag's name is a melding of the company's first initial and its age. Bertone says the concept is a design study in what it calls "dynamic imbalance" between parallel lines and "leaping forms."

The 2011 Jaguar Sport cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept result is a compact, four-door sedan (4.5 m long, 1.35 m tall, 1.95 m wide, 2.8 m wheelbase) that fits perfectly into the D segment. Starting with a classic three-volume architecture, Bertone designers have shaped the taut, muscular body with bold yet refined character, entirely constructed with handmade aluminum panels in true Italian "coachbuilder" tradition. The unique personality of the luxury sports sedan is emphasized by the sophisticated minimalism outside and in, underlining the true nature of the British authenticity where understatement equals exclusiveness.

In terms of technological innovation, the 2011 Jaguar Sport cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept uses a pure hybrid power system designed and developed by Bertone Energy (the newest Bertone division dedicated to renewable energy research), including a thermal engine for range extension and two electric motors which provide propulsion for the rear wheels. Bertone has been studying ecologically sustainable powertrain systems for the past twenty years, with many examples including full-electric "extreme" concept cars like the 1992 Blitz or 1994 Zer record car, which was the first full-electric car to break the 300 km/h speed barrier in the world. With the 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept, Bertone establishes a new record in its 99 year history as the only Italian designer to have created five different Jaguars.

These renderings of the 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept have been leaked ahead of its official debut March 1st at the Geneva Auto Show, giving a hint at how Jaguar intends to style its new entry-level luxury sports sedan. According to recent reports, however, this new model won’t be the first new Jag to debut, with a rumored XE compact sports car planned for next year.

Measuring 4.5 meters long, 1.95 meters wide, and 1.35 meters high with a 2.8-meter wheelbase, the B99 has the dimensions to make a run at the luxury sport car segment. That is if the car ever makes it to production.

So when talking about powertrains, the 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept blows the top-level 3-Series out of the water with the latter’s 4.0-liter V8 engine with 414 horsepower compared to the B99’s 1.4-liter gas engine combined with the two 150 kW motors, producing a total of 570 horsepower. Conversely, the Mercedes C-Class also falls short in the engine department compared to the 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept with its 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 302 horsepower.

"Performance through innovation" is one of Jaguars slogans, and today more than ever powerful sports cars must find new responsible ways to offer both high performance and ecological sustainability. The 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept is powered by a modular, Extended Range Hybrid system which futuristic utilizes twin 150kW (204 Cv) electric engines connected to the inboard side of the rear axle for propulsion and a lightweight 1.400 cm3 thermal engine producing 125 kW-170 Cv for range extension, giving a combined power output of 425 kW or 570 Cv. The thermal engine charges the Lithium-ion batteries while driving allowing for a theoretical range of 700 kilometers of highway driving between fill-ups with a carbon dioxide output of around 30 g Co2/km. The 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept can also travel in full electric mode offering zero emissions for 100kms.

Designed by Bertone’s chief of design, American Michael Robinson, the 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept blends shapely surfacing with powerful proportions. “It is a typical Jaguar,” says Robinson. The classic cat-inspired rear haunch lends itself to Jaguar’s heritage, and the C-pillar is much more formal than that of the current Ian Callum- designed XJ and XF models. The B99 also sports a bit of concept car showmanship with its rear-hinged suicide doors and B-pillarless cabin.

Despite the shapely body concours, there is little else in the way of ornamentation save for the chrome window surrounds, front fender vent and Jaguar “leaper” on the hood. Bertone characterizes this as a “minimalist luxury sports sedan.” It is a nice blend of tradition and modernity.

That tradition is also apparent in the interior’s large swaths of wood veneer and leather. The stylish cabin would help the 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept command luxury prices, while at the same time allowing its clientele to feel socially responsible as a result of the unique powertrain.

UPDATE 03/08/11: According to Automotive News, Jaguar was not impressed by the 2011 Jaguar Sport Cars Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept and will not put it to production: "It is not our concept. We appreciate the fact that Jaguar is interesting enough for people to do a concept around. It’s not that we are offended by it, or against it — it is just not for us." Jaguar has plans to enter new market segments by 2014, but this will be done with their own work: "We have concepts all over the place. A lot of work has been done," said Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar’s global brand director.
