Download or read book Concept Cars written by Jonathan Wood and published by Parragon Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No auto show is complete without them. They're crowd pulling and invariably extravagant, zany, way-out, and created with no apparent consideration for cost. And, in the eyes of some, taste. But for all the entertainment value of the visually striking concept car, it does, nevertheless, have a serious role to play.For the car manufacturer it provides an invaluable opportunity to gauge the public's reaction to radical design initiatives before putting them into production. With environmental considerations moving increasingly to the fore, the newest generation of aerodynamically honed concepts is also of particular significance for featuring creative alternatives to the long-running internal combustion engine. This usually takes the form of emissions-free electric power which is either used in isolation or in hybrid form, when it works in harmony with miserly fueled gas or diesel units.The concept car is now well over 50 years old, and author Jonathan Wood charts its evolution from General Motors' landmark Y-Job of 1939, through the dream cars of the 1950s, and so to the present day.This highly illustrated book will fascinate car enthusiasts of all ages and provide a pointer to the sort of vehicles that will be on our roads well into the 21st century and beyond.
Download or read book Concept Cars written by Larry Edsall and published by JG Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concept vehicles are cars we can't drive - and only in rare cases are we allowed to touch them. Just to have a look at them we have to stand in line at the motor shows. Even so, concept vehicle creators reach millions of people through the major international motor shows in Tokyo, Frankfurt, Geneva, Paris or Birmingham or the ones that take place in the big conference centers in New York, Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles. It's sufficient for us to admire these prototypes from far away or to have the chance to brush up against them and to dream about the day we will get into one or two of them. Concept vehicles are dream cars, vehicles that we passionately hope one day will be part of our cars-to-come dream. These are the cars of the future, or at least, of a future that some creative mind imagines. In their bold new shapes, concept vehicles show us the future through the designer's artistic eye and creative imagination. Some of these models announce the arrival of cars under production, others are design and technology experiments.
