Car Sabino Design

 

The B3 is a work-in-progress project of a sports coupé with a muscular and rétro style. It was created by Netherlands-based Sabino Design, which is currently looking for investors.

The B3's design features a mix of modern and classic styling cues, with a long hood and a backwards cab layout.

Sabino B3 concept car was modelled in Rhino 3D software

The main target is to unveil the car within 2008.

The founder of Sabino Design is Sabino Leerentveld: his creations were posted several times to CG-Cars under the user name 'sabaman'.

The Maserati Car

The Maserati Tramontane Concept is a luxury electric supercar with a futuristic design characterized by flowing elements that form different layers and interconnect the exterior and the interior. The author is Czech design student Ondrej Jirec.

The Maserati Tramontane is a lightweight electric luxury supercar with an original design focused on the reduction of the total number of body parts and the simplification of the production process by combining exterior and interior elements.

It was created by Czech student Ondrej Jirec for his Alias class at the Art Center College of Design. Among the distinctive features of the Maserati Tramontane's design are the components and body panels which flow from the interior to the exterior.

These parts have different function, color, material and characteristics and create layers that add different "dimensions" and define an original design language.

The first layer is a glass surface with a sculpted design, which envelops the car and is supported by a black frame which is mounted on the chassis.

The second layer includes the headlamps and the dashboard. These two pieces, one on each side, carry the front LED lights and smoothly flow back into the interior where they protect the speakers and air vents.

The third layer gives form to the bottom part of seats and, as it reaches the exterior, also carries the taillights.

This particular part has very high resistance to impact. In case of side impact the seat and chassis work together to provide the occupant with high protection.

In the event of a tail collision, the rear part contains a crumple zone that can collapse, so the seats remain protected.

The fourth layer, placed at the front, serves as motor compartment coverage and also as a dashboard.

This element is attached to the chassis and hides motors, frame, and all the electronics.

The car's proportions start low and wide in the front end and lighten up towards the back, ending with a rear section that resembles the blossom of a flower and showcasing an aerodynamic teardrop side silhouette.

At 4,250mm in length the Maserati Tramontane is just 50mm shorter than the Lamborghini Gallardo.

At 1170mm, the height is approximately the same as the Gallardo as well.

Ingress/egress is very comfortable thanks to the gull-wing doors that are hinged to the main frame supporting the roof.

The interior design is very clean and simple due to the fact that the Tramontane is an open car. The dashboard is dominated by a large gauge with a digital display.

The interior structural pillars behind passenger seats take clues from the Maserati Birdcage and create a link to the Maserati history.

The proposed drivetrain features a four wheel drive system with the front wheels powered by an electric motor and the rear wheels powered by two in-wheel motors.

This package allows the car to have a good amount of luggage space in the back.

Concept and Design

Peugeot has released the first images and information about the 908 RC Concept, a luxurious touring interpretation of the racing car of the future that will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. For the moment, only photorealistic renderings are avalable.

The original idea was to create a limousine with an imposing style that offered its four occupants a new driving sensation.
The final design, however, is an uncompromising car that combines dynamic performance, comfort, luxury and environmental protection.
The 908 RC is targeted at a very upmarket virtual customer, naturally accustomed to a very high level of luxury but above all passionate about their motoring and its history, but also in search of innovation coupled with assertive styling and uncompromised driving pleasure.



"The raison d'être of any concept car is to explore new ideas and to test those ideas in an attempt to create the ultimate solution. Know-how and passion, combined with imagination then become the motive force that turns dreams into reality. The Peugeot 908 RC evokes passion and imagination to allow us to dream but it will also have a serious side."
The vehicle is built around a pre-impregnated carbon composite and vacuum-polymerised aluminium honeycomb structure.
The rear section is a self-supporting shell incorporating a sub-frame consisting of a tubular structure on which the engine and suspension are assembled.



The originality of the 908 RC resides in its compact design, with the engine arranged in a rear central transverse position.
Similarly the compact 6-speed electronically controlled sequential gearbox has been specially adapted to withstand the phenomenal torque, and is located under the engine.
The position of the power train allows the creation of a large-capacity boot, situated behind the final drive assembly and therefore not encroaching on the generous interior space of the passenger compartment.
