  • Can you believe Lamborghini is creating an SUV?

    [imagebrowser id=15]

    What??? Are you telling me that the famous Italian sports cars maker is making an SUV? A Sport Utility Vehicle? Yes it is. It is the Lamborghini Urus Concept. The images of Lamborghini’s latest SUV are leaked ahead of its debut at 2012 Beijing Motor Show that will be held next week. The Lamborghini Urus seems to adopt some designs from the Aventador, one of Lamborghini’s flagships. From the front, the concept SUV looks like a jacked-up Aventador. A view from side, it is a blend of supercar with a four-door high-riding hatchback.

    Unlike some other supercar makers, Lamborghini has a history with SUV, the Rambo Lambo (Lamborghini LM002) that has only 328 units produced from 1986 until 1993. However, the Urus looks nothing like the Rambo. It is totally a new concept SUV that the Italian car marque would like to target on the SUV market due to the demand for expensive and luxury SUVs.

    The specifications and drivetrain details for the Urus is not disclose by Lamborghini yet. The only information leaked on the internet is the Urus is generating around 600 hp and it is an all-wheel drive vehicle. Thanks to many lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, the weight of the car is reduced around 220 pounds compared to all its competitors. Other features found on the car are movable rear spoilers and variable front spoilers with the purpose to increase aerodynamics at high speed for better fuel consumption.

    Competitors or similar cars with the Lamborghini Urus Concept: Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, and Bentley EXP 9F Concept.

    Full official details will be available at Carsut shortly. For now, just refresh your eye and enjoy all the images in the gallery.

  • Nissan Townpod Concept – A new zero-emission idea

    Nissan Townpod

    The Nissan Townpod is a concept car first introduced by Nissan at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and now it is displayed at the 2012 Bangkok Motor Show as one of the top five highlights of the show. It is an electric vehicle consists of many unprecedented features that anyone can adapt the interior according to their needs using proprietary and third-party sourced accessories.

    Walked one round and look at the car, the chic-look may bizarre for the automobile world today but it clearly brings out a new concept. A concept where one can own a zero-emission passenger car and a light weight commercial car at the same time. We no longer find any petrol caps on this car. There is only one charging point located behind the front logo, which is nicely covered by an automatically retracting cover. The bullet-style headlamps are relatively small but it is sheltered by semi-silvered coating and a built-in signal light, that’s modish! (more…)

    The Toyota FT-EV III is a concept car introduced by Toyota back in 2011. It is a zero-emission electric car that completely runs on electric power. This blue concept car was first unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show and now at the 2012 Bangkok International Motor Show. It is small, cute, and easy-to-navigate, and ideal for someone who drives less than 50 miles a day.

    Powered by an electric motor and lithium-ion battery, this car clearly tells the audience what can be created by the technology today although it is not available for sale yet. As Toyota always said, “right place, right time, and right vehicle”. When the right time comes, we will certainly see this car available for sales in the market. Toyota fans, be patient!

  • LIVE from Bangkok: Toyota NS4 Concept

    The Toyota NS4 Concept is one of the top five highlights at the 33rd Bangkok International Motor Show. It is one of the two treasures brought by Toyota to add more colors to the events. We first saw the car at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show and now we stand a chance to take a photo with this superstar.

    Ultra-smooth sheet metal body with a par of swan-wing doors, the car allows anyone to imagine how the future cars will look like. What is really eye-catching is the cute-little-tiny yet useful side mirror that we almost can’t see it. Together with four new integrated glasses that built with Toyota’s latest technology, the windows help to improve driver visibility. Sleekness, futuristic, and cyber best describe the car. Inside, the plug-in hybrid features a large multi-touch screen that looks like a smartphone and a steering wheel that has all the control buttons within the driver’s fingers.

    The Toyota NS4 Concept is said to be the preview of what the next-generation Prius could look like. However, we should reserve our final verdict until Toyota says “Yes it is, this is the latest Toyota Prius!”
