Concept Cars

The latest and the greatest

Are you a car enthusiast waiting on the edge of your seat for the latest concept cars to be put on the market? You may be ahead of the game, and the first in line to purchase one of these vehicles, after you read this. Allow me to introduce you to the top five concept cars of 2007.

BMW Concept CS

BMW brought back the stylish 'shark nose' front end! The curves and cuts of this car along with being dressed to the nines in chrome, makes this one hell of a sportsters dream. It is expected to be equipped with a 6.0-liter V12 engine. The concept was released by BMW in Shanghai and is hoped to be released to the public soon, although no reported dates thus far.

Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Concep

This sporty four-seater is a new and improved version of the 1969 classic Camaro, and fighting for it's rightful place up against the latest Ford Mustang. It's doing a damn good job too. The convertible concept has a ram-air 6.0-liter LS2 engine with 400 horsepower and Active Displacement Management. Chevy's gone chrome on the interior features. This concept is set to be released in 2009.

Dodge Demon Concept

A low riding two seater convertible with a little more bulk and weight than a Miata, but very close in appearance. It's not meant for speed so much as looks. The Dodge Demon only sports a 170 horsepower four-cylinder engine. It is, however, set to be priced close to $15,000 in an attempt to make a more affordable sporty looking vehicle that beats out the competition on price. No word yet on a release date.

Nissan Bevel Concept

The Bevel is one of many SUV Hybrids waiting to hit the market. It has potential to hit in 2009, but no official word. As for appearance, it has a cubed back-end with a slantier spacelike front-end, which makes it look somewhat awkward at first glance.

The features are nice however, with a high-utility three-zone interior, glass roof-mounted solar panels and drive-by-wire steering, throttle, and brakes. The engine compartment is expected to hold a V-6/electric hybrid drivetrain.

Volkswagen Microbus Concept

Another revamped classic from the 60's, the Microbus is a futuristic high-tech version of the VW Bus! It maintains the basic look of the 60's version, but glossier and smoother around the edges. Most of the improvements are inside the bus: a video monitor rear view, 3.2L V-6 engine with 231 horsepower, and electronically activated dual sliding doors are only a few of the perks to this concept. No release date has been set. But keep an eye out for this one!
