Toyota RLV Hybrid

Toyota RLV Hybrid pedal assist and electric concept.

The RLV features dual power trains, a system that, Toyota says, "identifies with L.A.'s two most-used speeds - five or 75 miles per hour." Toyota participated in design challenge for LA Auto Show in 2006.

At slow speeds, the RLV, an aluminum two-seater, could be pedalled like a bicycle. Electric power would be used for higher speeds. As speed increases, the RLV's tire track width would expand, through the use of telescoping axles, for greater stability.ons, capable enough to apply enhances in pages, digital screens, panels or galleries.”

IXION windowless jet

IXION windowless jet with 360 degree panoramic views and solar panels.

International agency Technicon Design has created a concept for a private jet that replaces windows with screens. Technicon Design has a lot of experience working in the commercial aviation sector.

IXION’s windowless jet uses external cameras to capture a full 360-degree panoramic view of the exterior of the plane, which is then adjusted for perspective and displayed on the cabin’s interior display panels that cover most of the cabin. This gives the passenger the illusion of transparency, albeit a 2-dimensional one. The displays could also be customized to show any other animated wallpaper you so chose, such as a beach scene or outer space. In order to drive low voltage systems on-board, a series of amorphous solar panels are placed on the upper front half of the exterior

"The ethos of the project is simple, to challenge current thinking, and propose something a little different, but not just a fantasy," said Technicon design director Gareth Davies. "It has to be credible and relevant, yet provoke discussion."
"We quickly settled on the controversial yet interesting idea of removing the windows from the cabin and using existing or very near future technology to display the exterior environment to the inside surfaces of the cabin via external cameras."

Honda Chopper motorcycle

Futuristic Honda motorcycle

Awesome futuristic motorcycle 3d concept by artist Pete Norris.

Inspiration for this came from a number of sources, the clean functional lines of medical machinery, 70's and 80's marker drawings and manga.

As a kid my favourite vehicle from any film was the speeder bike from Return of the Jedi, so I guess there maybe some influence from that too.

I wanted to design a bike that was a purpose-built chopper, long front suspension, feet forward seating position and a large footprint.
