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.

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 BMW i8 Concept retains much of the theatre and excitement of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept that first previewed the futuristic sports car design at Frankfurt in 2009, and starred at the 2011 Australian International Motor Show in Melbourne last month. Sometimes it is time to leave the city. Escape the restrictions of everyday life. The BMW i8 is an icon of progress. It combines the energizing performance of a sports car with benchmark efficiency.

Unlike the Vision concept which utilised a diesel engine, the new 2014 BMW Sport Cars i8 Concept adopting a hybrid setup with an electric motor and a 1.5-liter gasoline unit. The 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine produces an astonishing 164kW of power and 300Nm of torque. To give that some perspective, the current BMW 125i is powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six with 160kW of power and 270Nm of torque – double the capacity, double the cylinders, 4kW less power, 30Nm less torque.

The 2014 BMW Sport Cars i8 Concept and the fascinating approach that underpins it embody the vision of a sustainable contemporary sports car brought to life. Its innovative plug-in hybrid concept combines the modified electric drive system from the BMW i3 Concept - fitted over its front axle - wîth a high-performance three-cylinder combustion engine producing 164 kW (220 hp)/300 Nm (221 lb-ft) at the rear.

The electric motor in the 2014 BMW Sport Cars i8 Concept is a full-capability unit which can also power the car on its own, if required. However, working in tandem allows the two drive systems to display their respective talents to the full, delivering the performance of a sports car but the fuel consumption of a small car.

Assisting the petrol engine is 96kW/250Nm electric motor, which draws power from a lithium-ion battery. With a combined maximum power output of 260kW and 550Nm, the i8 Concept is capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in just 4.6 seconds (80-120km/h in 4.0 seconds) and will go on to an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h.

These impressive features of the German sports car are even greater considering that BMW announced a combined fuel consumption of only 2,7 liters/100 km. In terms of dimensions, the i8 Concept measures 4,6m long, 1,9m wide and 1,2m tall.

The great power amount offered by the new i8 is also valued by the low total mass of only 1,480 kilograms achieved by using a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) body and an aluminum chassis. The Germans claim that they managed to obtain a 50/50 weight distribution by mounting the engines on each axle, this achievement bringing significant advantages.

The weight of every component inside the 2014 BMW Sport Cars i8 Concept has been minimised down to the very last detail, allowing the extra weight of the electric drive system and battery to be cancelled out. The 2014 BMW Sport Cars i8 Concept therefore presents the ideal environment in which to sample this very special drive concept on the road. The passengers sit - in typical sports car style - in an extremely low and enclosed position inside the CFRP-constructed Life module (mounted above the Drive module).

“The sporting character continues into the interior. Boasting a driver-focused environment unmatched by any BMW Group vehicle before it, the 2014 BMW Sport Cars i8 Concept immerses the driver fully in the unique driving experience. The BMW i8 Concept is the sports car for a new generation – pure, emotional and sustainable,” adds BMW.

Far from just being a performance car, however, the i8 Concept can also be driven in fully electric zero-emissions mode for up to 35km. A full recharge of the battery from a standard power socket takes approximately 105 minutes.

The navigation system also calculates the best way to manage energy consumption for the trip to ensure that it operates at peak performance and optimal efficiency when required. Under the European driving cycle, the 2014 BMW Sport Cars i8 Concept uses fuel at a rate of just 2.7 litres/100km combined, making it one of the most fuel efficient internal combustion engined automobiles in history.

A production version of the BMW i8 Concept is expected to go on sale in Australia in 2014 with a predicted price tag of $300,000.
