Hot New Concept Cars For 2010

There are many great concept cars of 2010 coming our way very soon. A concept car is a resource for designing automobiles which is dedicated towards development and design of automobiles, industrial design and product designs. One of the most recent concept cars is the Volkswagen 1 liter car which can seat two people and is a diesel hybrid. It was designed in such a way so that it served the dual purpose of being practical as well as road worthy. Apart from this it has the superb capability of being able to travel very long distance like 100 km with the help of only 1 liter of diesel. It is a great fuel saving automobile and will be very useful in the long run and in future where we are likely to face shortage of fuel. Its fuel consumption according to the international system of units is 1 US gallon of fuel for 235 miles or 282 mpg Imperial.

The concept used behind this achievement is that the material used for making this car is very light weighted and the car has a streamlined body structure and the transmission and engine of the car has been designed to be very economic. This concept car was designed in the year 2009 and this limited edition car is expected to be in market in the beginning of 2010. Its prototype was first put on display in the year 2002 and this car has an excellent speed of 100mph or 161 Km per hour. However at such a high speed its fuel consumption goes from 1L per 100 km to 1.36 l per 100 km. this is still very less as compared to the fuel consumption by car fleet of Australia which consumes 11.5 L of fuel per 100 km.

Other features of the car which makes it such a great discovery is that its two seats are positioned in a tandem manner and are not present side by side. Also it has electronic displays and cameras instead of mirrors. Its rear wheels are positioned very close to each other to make the body of the car streamlined.

Some examples of 2010 concept cars are are coming from about every automotive maker out there, these include: Hyundai , Ford, Nissan, Lexus and many more. It has very small frontal area and drag coefficient to minimize its aerodynamic drag which is 0.159 instead of the general 0.30 .
