Recently a 2-seat roadster concept named Suzuki Misano was born which is claimed to combine the "two souls" of the Japanese company in producing motorized vehicles (cars and motorbikes) from the Turin-based educational institution called the Istituto Europe di Design (IED).
Suzuki Misano Concept is designed by by 24 master program students at the Istituto Europe di Design (IED) in Turin, Italy and claimed to combine the "two souls" of the Japanese company in producing motorized vehicles (cars and motorbikes). (Picture from: Autoblog)
Even though the concept of this car is not entirely the result of Suzuki's design, it was designed by 24 master program students at the Istituto Europe di Design (IED) in Turin, Italy. Visually it is believed that the concept of this four-wheeled vehicle is inspired by Suzuki's design values accompanied by an image of life characterized by fun and sophistication as adapted from the famous classic Italian movie titled 'La Dolce Vita' (Italian for "the sweet life" or "the good life ") which was released in the 1960.
“Misano is one of the work results of our student teams from around the world. They have chosen Turin as the place to prepare their work. The opportunity to discuss and collaborate with automotive companies is a hallmark of this two-year training course,” said Paolo Zini, Director of IED Turin, Italy.
Suzuki Misano Concept has something unique, where the driver and passenger seat layouts are both placed in a tandem format on the left side and have been designed to blend into the body through the use of smooth angled lines. (Picture from: Autoblog)
The electric-powered roofless sports car has a gorgeous classic barchetta silhouette and gets its name from the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, one of the famous circuits in Misano Adriatico, Italy. The IED student team consisted of 24 students in collaboration with the Japanese manufacturer has a task to create a concept that embodies the essence of the contrast between driving and riding in a futuristic appearance.
"Misano is a thesis born from the passion of young designers and developed as a project at the design center to offer new lifestyle experiences for future generations," said Director of the Suzuki Design Center, Kimihiko Nakada.

In terms of appearance, the Misano design at rear has been styled with an emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency, while the front is marked with distinctive arrow-shaped headlights. Even though the Misano is a complete car, it has a steering system that looks like a motorcycle handlebars. In addition, the use of a small windshield is another testament to the thick of a motorbike riding sensation on this concept car.
The Suzuki Misano has a length of 4,000 mm, 1,750 mm width and 1,000 mm height. While the wheelbase is around 2,600 mm. Besides being supported by Suzuki, the Misano electric-powered concept car also received sponsorship from the OZ Racing and Pirelli.
The plan, it will be displayed in public at the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile (The National Automobile Museum) in Turin, Italy from May 15th to June 6th, 2021. Until now there is no information whether the concept car will be mass produced. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOBLOG | WIKIPEDIA ]
SuperBEAST Recently, a Chinese company kicked off the automotive world, through the company called First Automobile Works (FAW) is known for its truck products in several Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia.
Hongqi S9 hybrid-powered hypercar was the result of collaboration of the FAW with Silk EV and started to touch on the road in the 2022. (Picture from: Motor1)
It seems that the company who owned the Hongqi (means 'red flag') brand is seriously intended to expand its business when introduces its hypercar made named the Hongqi S9 recently at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show along with its sibling, a luxorious sedan concept named the Hongqi L-Concept as quoted of Motor1.
Hongqi S9 hybrid-powered hypercar was designed by Walter De Silva, a famous auto designer who was involved in the design of the third generation of the Audi V6 and the Scirocco in 2005. (Picture from: Motor1)
Actually, the Hongqi S9 hypercar prototype once greeted the world's automotive anthutiasts in Europe when it was displayed at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show along with its sibling Hongqi E115, a fully electric powered SUV prototype. Today, the S9 appearance is much different from the one that had appeared in Frankfurt. Well, it looks those production version Hongqi hypercar had massive changed up to its current form.
Hongqi S9 hybrid-powered hypercar has a sleek body profile like common European-made hypercars. (Picture from: Motor1)
Now, the Chinese hypercar has an appearence like a common European-made hypercar, such Ferrari or Koenigsegg though. It seems that the change of face for the Hongqi's production version is intended to attract more interest from customers.
Hongqi
S9 hypercar uses a hybrid V8 Turbo power system that enabling the hypercar
to accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 1.9 seconds and its top speed reaches
up to 400 kph. (Picture from: Motor1)
That's why now the Hongqi S9 design is worked by Walter De Silva, a famous auto designer who was involved in the design of the third generation of the Audi V6 and the Scirocco in 2005, when he was head of design for the Volkswagen Group.
Hongqi S9 hybrid-powered hypercar has a carbon fiber body and featured with butterfly door type. (Picture from: Motor1)
It was also stated that the Hongqi S9 itself is a hypercar result of the collaboration between the FAW and an Italian EV start-up company, named Slik EV. In addition to having a stunning design, this hypercar is said to have the potential for extraordinary performance.
Hongqi S9 hypercar's pricetag is estimated touching of €2 million (US. $2.2 million) and reportedly, will be produced in a limited number of only 99 units. (Picture from: Motor1)
It is said that the Hongqi S9 will be equipped by a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 4,000 cc V8 Twin Turbo engine combined with an electric motor so that it can give off a total power of up to 1,400 hp. So it is claimed that the S9 hypercar can accelerate from rest to 100 kph in just 1.9 seconds.
However, there is still no official price announcement (estimated, its pricetag touching of €2 million or approx. US. $2.2 million), it is only mentioned that the Hongqi S9 will be marketed starting next year and will be produced in a limited number of only 99 units. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTOR1 | ]
Concept ONLY Lately, there has been growing a trend of the changes of the fossilI-fueled vehicle technology into the vehicles with renewable energy, in this case electrical energy. It can be seen of the many automotive manufacturers are aggressively developing electric-powered vehicles, even as if these manufacturers are competing to present the most futuristic vehicle designs.
The Aether electric-powered motorcycle concept designed by a Taiwanesse auto designer named Lin Yu Cheng. (Picture from: ZigWheels)
And one of them is an electric motorbike named Aether Electric Motorcycle Concept, the work of a Taiwanese automotive designer named Lin Yu Cheng. As quoted of Visordown, the electric-powered motorbike will be equipped with super sophisticated technology, such as wireless charging technology or in other words, its batteries can be charged wirelessly. Very sophisticated, isn't?
The Aether electric-powered motorcycle may look like an iron with wheels, but you have to applaud the ingenuity of the idea attached in it such the wireless charging and advanced air purifier systems. (Picture from: ZigWheels)
Besides being powered by renewable energy sourced of the electric motor, it turns out that the motorcycle is also carried an eco-friendly technology. Well, according to the designer, the Aether electric-powered motorbike can also clean the air through an air purifier system pinned in it. It's said, that the air purifier functioned to be able to clean carbon monoxide produced by other vehicles in the vicinity.
The Aether electric-powered motorcycle within its dimensions, riding style, coupled with so many advanced features pinned in it. (Picture from: ZigWheels)
By those advance device systems, the air entering into the device and then will be expelled as the filtered and clean air, because the motorcycle has massive air intake ducts that channel air into the ceramic filter modules is functioned as an air purifier to trap PM 2.5 micro-particles. Furthermore, those air purifier components also can be cleaned or replaced periodically so that its function continues to run optimally.

Now the actual motorcycle may look like an iron with wheels, but you have to applaud the ingenuity of the idea. As mentioned above, this electric-powered motorcycle concept is also equipped with a wireless charging system that is placed under the motorbike. So, to charge it, no longer needs a cable connecting from the charging slot to the motorcycle. It is also stated to charging the battery takes only 30 minutes.
Unfortunately, this is still a matter of debate because if the motorcyle can be realized, there should be infrastructure that supports all those systems embeded on the motorbike. Because, when parked in an ordinary parking lot, the wireless charging system will not work optimally. So maybe it should be rethought to also embed a conventional battery charging system that still need the cables..
That's very promising future, if someday there are so many such these electric motorbikes with air purifier technology milling around the streets. So it could be made less air pollutants around us. And finally, the question now is whether the technology can be realized in the near future, given that today we live among the urban society with so many pollutants?😣

UNIque ONES Indeed today we are in the era of electric vehicles. It feels like just yesterday, we are amazed when we see electric-powered concept cars presented by the makers. But now, there were so many electric-powered vehicles had been milling about on the streets.
1992 Bertone Blitz electric-powered sporty vehicle concept is one of the 79 units of Bertone's collections bought by the Automotoclub Storico Italiano (Italian
Historic Automobile and Motorcycle Club) in the auction event held in the 2015. (Picture from: WardsAuto)
So it should be if we thank those who pioneered this electric vehicle, ranging from the very beginning of its development to the present day. So that in recent years we have been inundated with electric cars from small to large automakers and ranging from regular to high performance.
On this occasion, we are trying to return to the 1990s when electric-powered vehicles were not what they are now, and were still looking for the shape and direction of its development, which sometimes gives birth to unique forms that are look weird when viewed today.
1992 Bertone Blitz electric-powered sporty vehicle
concept on display at the Automotoclub Storico Italiano (Italian
Historic Automobile and Motorcycle Club) museum in Volandia near Milan-Malpensa Airport. (Picture from: Wikipedia)
And the Bertone Blitz electric-powered car is one of those most bizarre interpretations ever built in the 1990s of what an EV sports car should look be like. When viewed at the time this car was being developed, indeed, the Blitz was said to be ahead of its time. This concept electric car made by Bertone at a glance has a physical appearance that is no less eccentric than a Fiat Multipla which also came from the same era.
1992 Bertone Blitz electric-powered sporty vehicle
concept in another style of bodywork, which has a difference in the front fascia.(Picture from: Carstyling.ru)
This prototype is an open-air two-seater electric-powered show car created in the 1992 as a study design and also experimented with electric traction and with new materials for the chassis and bodywork. To achieve the desired 'lightness', the body is made by Albatech in 25CD4 steel tubes, mounted with fiberglass panels with epoxy resin and a Roacell core.
Well, the bodywork consists entirely of composite materials (consisted of epoxy glass and autoclave-produced nomex), with the interior made of carbon. So it's not surprising that the car weighs only 650 kg (1,433 lbs), of which 260 kg (572 lbs) is the weight of the batteries.

concept's performance is also decent via two 36 horsepower (continuous output) DC motors with a total torque of 95 Nm.(Picture from: Carstyling.ru)
Moreover, its appearence peeled at the back, fully open roofless, with an unusual seating layout (with the driver's seat located slightly in front of the passenger seat). The closest production car analogy to it was the Volkswagen XL1, which has an almost similar seating layout, but it was a sport coupe and has a diesel-hybrid drivetrain.

Another feature of great impact was the solution created for the car's door, which are the front-hinged and opens vertically. It's a concept taken from the Alfa Romeo Carabo made by Bertone in 1968 and which had subsequently been used on a succession of other models.
The car's performance is also decent via two 36 horsepower (continuous output) DC motors with a total torque of 95 Nm. So that it can make the car accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in six seconds. This Bertone's electric powered car range is 100 to 130 km per charge and its lead acid battery can be recharged in 4 to 6 hours.

We were assumes 2 units ever had produced (according to the pictures shown at several sites such Carstyling, Conceptcarz, etc), both of which had that incredible two-tiered design like the Fiat Multipla and have been shown off for the first time at the 1992 Turin International Motor Show.🙏
Unfortunately, after surviving for almost 102 years since it was first founded in 1912, Carrozzeria Bertone finally should closed the doors after being declared bankrupt in 2014.😭 And a lot of its works were then auctioned off starting in 2015 and one of them is the 1992 Bertone Blitz which is now sat on display at the Automotoclub Storico Italiano (ASI) Museo in Volandia near Milan-Malpensa Airport. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | WIKIPEDIA | CONCEPTCARZ | JALOPNIK | CARSTYLING.RU | AUTOCAR | WARDSAUTO ]

Concept ONLY After some time ago we have submitted an article about Lotus Eleven, one of the 1950s famous racing cars from Lotus and also to replace the Lotus Nine, its legendary race car. So now we are trying to see the racing cars that will be used in the future, which seems to have been trying to predict by Lotus through an electric racing car design study for the 2030 season named Lotus E-R9.
Lotus E-R9 Concept inspired by the best level of aerodynamics of a fighter jet. (Picture from: KabarOto)
The car concept is inspired by an airplane that has the best level of aerodynamics. This was emphasized by Richard Hill, Chief Aerodynamicist of Lotus Engineering, that the car concept drives such a car in general but the curves like a fighter jet.
The canopy is seen in common fighter aircraft and the delta-wing shape at the top. Another innovation in the form of active aerodynamics with moving panels and vertically attached to control the car during fast cornering. Then its colors displayed are black and gold, which are the hallmarks of Lotus, which known has a legacy of being the 13-time the world's racing champion of Formula-1.
Lotus E-R9 Concept explained as an Endurance Racer as a tribute to the legendary race car of the Lotus Nine. (Picture from: KabarOto)
Lotus Engineering has big responsible in the E-R9 concept developing then to translate it as a showcase of technology or even philosophy, capabilities, and the spirit of more advanced development in terms of electrification and aerodynamics. They has indeed been recognized for its ability as a consultant for companies that want to build fast cars.
Furthermore, they're explained the meaning of the E-R is Endurance Racer, while the number 9 is the Lotus's sacred number in its heyday. It is the Lotus Mk-9, the race car designed by the Lotus's founder Colin Chapman, driven by selected racers and debuted at the 1955 24-Hours Le Mans.
Lotus E-R9 Concept plan to race later in 2030 and at the time would be a celebration of the 75th anniversary of Lotus Nine since it first raced at the 1955 24-Hours Le Mans. (Picture from: KabarOto)
If in 1955, the Lotus Nine took part in the Le Mans racing event for the fisrt time, that's meaning if later in 2030, the Lotus E-R9 concept car going to race and at the time would be a celebration of the 75th anniversary of Lotus Mark IX.
As Louis Kerr, a Vehicle Architect of Group Lotus plc, said, "Battery energy density and power density are developing significantly year on year. Before 2030, we'll have mixed cell chemistry batteries that give the best of both worlds, as well as the ability to 'hot-swap' batteries during pitstops" That's mean the battery development is also being carried out so that when the car make a pit stop, it wouldn't need much time to replace the battery.
They're also mentioned, that the Lotus E-R9 will feature the most
advanced electric drive that independently transmits power to each
wheel, working in conjunction with torque-vectoring which known
previously had applied on the Lotus Evija electric-powered hypercar. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTOR1 | AUTOBLOG ]
SuperBEAST Previously McLaren launching the McLaren Sabre model on December, 2020, and now the Woking-based manufacturer back to shock the automotive world by officially launching its first series production of the high-performance hybrid supercar named the McLaren Artura.
