car Kia Ray

At the 2010 Chicago Motor Show Kia has unveiled the Ray Concept, a futuristic four-seat hybrid sedan based on the Kia Forte platform. Among the features are the extensive use of lightweight and recycled materials and the glass roof with hexagonal solar cells.

Kia Ray Concept

Kia Motors has unveiled its 'Ray' Plug-in Hybrid concept at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show, show-casing its innovative fuel-stretching and emissions-cutting technologies.

Kia Motors has presented the Ray Concept, a futuristic hybrid sedan with an aerodynamic (cd of 0.25) aircraft-inspired design.

The powertrain is equipped with a 153-hp Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) 1.4-litre engine coupled to a permanently-engaged fixed ratio Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), used in combination with a 78 kW electric motor.

Among the features are the use of lightweight and recycled materials, the hexagonal solar cells embedded in the glass roof panel and the range of up to 1,200 km (746 miles).

Additional features include four individual seats, touch-screen controls, drive-by-wire steering and an energy-efficient audio system.

From the official Press Release:

Exterior Design

Kia Ray Concept


A lowered mono-volume shape and a strong, curvaceous silhouette give the Kia 'Ray' concept better aerodynamic properties than taller profile hybrid vehicles.

The exterior combines clean, flush surfaces minimizing any unneeded edges, a flowing profile and a pronounced rear shoulder ending in a slightly higher deck for reduced drag.

"It is important to imagine early in the design process what people will want in the future from a green perspective because people want to reduce their carbon footprint without driving carbon copies," said Peter Schreyer, Chief Design Officer for the Kia Motors Corporation.

"Being green doesn't have to be an obvious statement anymore and the Kia 'Ray' exemplifies a viable blend of modern, eco-minded features for today's environmentally conscious consumers," he added.

Strong, lightweight materials are used to support the EcoDynamics philosophy starting with a tabbed LED Kia badge covered with a single piece of glass that extends over the hood and another piece of glass that extends from the cowl of the windshield to the rear header to offer occupants a spacious, airy feeling.

Kia Ray Concept

A tapering greenhouse cabin and a longer 'tail' improve aerodynamics while reduction of drag is attained through a one-piece, smooth-as-glass, integrated underbody panel, narrow tire width and flush wheel design.

Front driving lamps slide back to create openings for better air intake when the gasoline engine is being used and a sliding U-shaped deck-lid extends from the rear of the vehicle at higher speeds for improved coefficient of drag.

Instead of side-view mirrors and door handles, motion-detector cameras are mounted flush with the body for safe lane changing procedures and opening of doors. The result is an airframe on wheels.

The front door opening features a forward cutout design for the feet allowing ease of entry. The purposeful rear-hinged coach doors add a stylish touch and their height and shape improves entry and exit.

The 'Ray' employs new 'cool car' technology, including nano-laminate films and cool-glazing materials to dramatically reduce solar heat and demonstrate how keeping the
interior cool will reduce air conditioning loads and greenhouse emissions. When the
vehicle is parked in the sun, the solar cells provide a trickle charge that helps operate a cooling fan to reduce interior temperatures.

Light and Airy Interior

Kia Ray Concept Interior

The 'Ray' interior is comprised of eco-friendly recycled materials in cool white tones to create a sense of purity while also reflecting the heat of the sun, keeping the temperature down and reducing the use of air conditioner energy.

Front and rear seats made of lightweight composites, mounted on the side sills, create a floating effect in the cabin and utilize elastomeric materials to support body weight.

Fresh and sustainable trim materials combine with a lightweight touch screen instrument layout featuring a touch screen push-button start and gear shift toggle.

The centre console features the all-new Kia UVO powered by Microsoft® advanced infotainment system providing voice- and touch-activated controls for simple management of music files and hands-free mobile phone operation.

Adding to the list of green technology features 'Ray' also employs the all-new GreenEdge™ system by Infinity® Audio. The loudspeakers reduce power consumption and dissipation through lower self heating temperatures coupled with increased acoustic performance providing a better synergy between amplifier, speaker and vehicle.

The amplifier used also reduces the idle power consumption by 50% of current Infinity speakers and employs a lower dissipation design for significant savings in overall weight.

To reduce overall weight through materials and design the hexagon/honeycomb shape can be found throughout the cabin, used as a repeated design element while tying the interior theme together. Used also in the door inserts and seats, this lightweight and breathable mesh serves to reduce overall kerb weight as well as being a unique design element.

Other materials found in the cabin are soft to the touch with a matt finish, including white leather, offering a more luxurious, but inviting and tranquil atmosphere.

car Lamborghini Murcielago

The Lamborghini Murcielago Restyling is a design study of a production-feasible sportscar based on the Murcielago package. It was created by Italian design student Mauro Lecchi for the Master in Transportation Design at the Scuola Politecnica di Design, Milan.

Lamborghini Murcielago Restyling


The restyled Lamborghini Murcielago was created by Italian design student Mauro Lecchi from Milan-based Scula Politecnica di Design for the Master in Transportation Design, in collaboration with Lamborghini and supported by Filippo Perini and Wolfgang Egger.

During the Master two briefs were given: the first, named "Concept 2020", asked students to think of new market niches for Lamborghini, ranging from motorcycles, race cars and boats.

The second one was much more linked to production with different constraints on feasibility, with the goal of designing an evolution of the current models.

As Mauro Lecchi explains, "For both the themes, we had to think of lines that recalled the brand."

The restyled Murcielago - designed for the production-related brief - is based on the production model package.

The idea was not to distort the formal language of the company, but to use simple and realistic surfaces, in order to create a body shape instantly recognizable as a Lamborghini, even without a badge on the hood."

"The car is not a deliberately academic stylistic exercise with an end in itself, an agonizing search for futuristic forms never seen before. It is a more realistic interpretation of an object that must still be sold to the public."

The main goal was to design a different front end, while retaining some distinctive features of the Gallardo and Reventon models.

In particular, the air intakes are turned outwards while the headlights follow the same horizontal development on the entire front section.

Another characteristic feature is the negative cut on the roof near the hood, with the transparent surfaces that creates a kind of continuity with the roof itself.

The interior, even if not developed in every detail, was designed in compliance with the ergonomic standards.

There weren't many preparatory sketches: after finalizing on paper several key features the definitions of the forms and proportions were directly made by working on the 1:4 scale clay model.

"A curiosity: some friends pointed out that the front resembles a Murcielago, the Spanish word for bat."

car Nissan Juke

Set to debut at Geneva 2010, the B-segment Nissan Juke is is the latest addition to the company's line-up of urban crossover. The exterior design is based on the 2009 Qazana concept car and combines a SUV-inspired lower section with a sporty upper section.

Nissan Juke Design Sketch


Designed to bring innovation, masculinity and dynamism to the B-segment, Juke combines of SUV toughness and sporting style.

Juke was created at Nissan Design Europe (NDE) in London, and refined at Nissan's Design Centre (NDC) in Japan. Principle engineering took place in Japan with significant European input and Juke will be built in Nissan's factory in Sunderland in the north-east of England and in Oppama, Japan.

"The design shows real optimism. By combining design elements from two genres to create a small, but striking Crossover that displays a genuine confidence and style. And those are qualities we also expect to find in a Juke customer," said Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President for Design and Chief Creative Officer.

From a design standpoint, the lower portion of Juke is pure SUV, with chunky wheels, wide tires, extended ground clearance and a robust stance.

Nissan Juke Nissan Juke

On the other side, the top portion is more reminiscent of a sports car, with a high waistline, slim visor-like side glass graphics and a coupé-style falling roofline. The coupé effect is further underlined by the rear doors which have their handles hidden in the frame of the door.

Nissan Juke Interior


Inside, the sports car theme continues with a driver-focused cabin dominated by a centre console design inspired by a motorcycle fuel tank. Finished in a distinctive high gloss colour, the 'bike' console adds a sense of fun to the car.

Practicality is assured by the rear-opening hatch and versatile luggage area with hidden storage opportunities.

The Nissan Juke is based on the Renault Nissan Alliance B platform, with a 2530mm wheelbase.

On front-wheel drive versions, suspension is by MacPherson struts at the front with a torsion beam at the rear while four-wheel drive models have a multi-link rear suspension modelled on the system found on Qashqai.

In Europe, three offer of engines available at launch will include one 1.5 liter diesel (81 KW) and two 1.6 liter direct injection gasoline units (140kW turbocharged and 86 KW), all Euro 5 compliant.

Nissan Juke Interior Design Sketch


The range of transmissions include five and six speed manual gearboxes and CVT transmission, depending on the model.

The ALL-MODE 4x4-i electronic all-wheel drive system is available as an option and features torque vectoring technology to enhance agility and reduce understeer when cornering.

The market global launch is expected for OCtober 2010. The European version will make its public premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The North American version is scheduled to debut at the New York Auto Show in late March.

From the official Press Release:

Exterior design

Nissan Juke


First revealed as the Qazana show car – unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show – Juke was created at the London-based Nissan Design Europe and refined at Nissan's Design Centre (NDC) in Japan.

"The outcome of this global collaboration is a car that comes from where East meets West, with vital contributions from NDE and NDC being key to creating such a striking design," said Shiro Nakamura.

Its highly individual lines are carried over virtually intact from Qazana. The boldness of the design reflects the significance of the B-segment in the European market: Europe is expected to take the lion's share of sales ahead of the other main markets, including North America and Japan.

The design team drew inspiration for Juke's design from a number of unusual sources. They looked back at a number of vehicles synonymous with an active and sporting life – and that list included rally cars and motorbikes. It's clear to see where those ideas have influenced the design.

Nissan Juke


The result combines a number of different themes, but with Nissan DNA threaded through. It has a tough solid body to reflect the SUV element, yet is a very sensual car, too, with complex curves and a coupé profile accentuated by the narrow side glass and hidden rear door handles which help give the impression of two rather than four doors.

But there is also clear Nissan family DNA in the design – the boomerang rear lights, for example, from the 370Z – but none of the elements are slavishly copied so while retaining Nissan DNA, Juke stands alone as a unique, almost maverick, design.

This is a key theme running through Nissan designs. Alfonso Albaisa, Vice President, Nissan Design Europe, says: "Juke has elements inspired from other cars in our range such as 370Z and even Cube, but our intention is never to make obvious links between our cars but natural ones. Cube is a cool car, for example, and that coolness can also be found in Juke."

Nissan Juke


With generous ground clearance, big wheels and tyres, a high waistline and a broad shoulder line, the bottom 'half' of the car appears to be pure SUV. The impression is accentuated by typical SUV features such as the contrasting black sill and wheel arch finishers while at the front and rear, the lower bodywork emerges from underneath the car, resembling underbody protection.

At the front, the 'sump guard' forms part of the air intake assembly but rather than use a simple meshed grille, the design team have developed the moulding into a series of circular slots… which are suggestive of biotic elements.

Above the waistline, however, Juke shows its sporting credentials. A heavily raked windscreen, complete with Nissan's signature Crossover upswept flick to the rearmost side window – and sloped roof-line provide a profile reminiscent of an aircraft's canopy.

Nissan Juke Nissan Juke

The rear of the roof incorporates an integral spoiler to reduce aerodynamic lift to help high speed stability. The neat duck-tail ridge was perfected with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and tests in the wind tunnel.

Nissan Juke


The lights also reflect the car's sporting agility. At the front these are split into two distinct elements.

Framing the upper half of the bonnet, thin slashes contain running lights and turn indicators, while the main and dipped beams mounted lower on the nose of the car were inspired by the auxiliary lamps fitted to rally cars in the sixties and seventies.

At the rear, the tail-lights put their own spin on the boomerang shaped lamps found on the 370Z.

In total, a nine colour palette of exterior colours is planned, including two whites, a solid and a pearl, and three shades unique to Juke – Force Red, Haptic Blue and Machine Brown, though the total availability will depend on region.

Nissan Juke Nissan Juke

Seiji Watanabe, Associate Product Chief Designer: "We want our cars, our crossovers in particular, to have a spirit of agility, to be seen as light, nimble, reactive. Juke displays all these attributes and delivers a real sense of optimism."

Interior design

Nissan Juke Interior


Juke's active, sporting exterior is matched by its interior… where the dominant feature also displays a sense of fun: the centre console, finished in a high gloss paint, resembles a motorcycle fuel tank.

"It's unexpected," says Alfonso Albaisa. "And that gives the interior a certain sexiness."

Reflecting the exterior's blending of SUV and sports car attributes, the interior provides the commanding driving position but with all the attributes expected of a sports car.

The gear shift sits on the top of the 'motorbiketank' to guarantee slick changes while the tank itself is no mere styling statement but also provides a bracing point for the driver's knee during spirited cornering.

Nissan Juke Interior


Similarly, the central stack – which incorporates the new Nissan Dynamic Control System – is ergonomically designed to ensure the driver has instant access to the information and drive mode controls.

Chrome fittings and high quality materials are used throughout while the interior colours – red or gun metal grey for the central console are available, depending on the grade; black, silver or red accents to the leather or honeycomb 'sports' fabrics – underscore the car's sporting attitude.

Even the door arm rests, shaped like flippers used by scuba divers, reflect an active outlook.

Nissan Juke Interior


Despite its overall compact dimensions, the roomy interior offers competitive levels of space inside: front head room and rear knee room will be sufficient for most occupants. Unlike the Qazana show car, Juke is a full five seater.

The practical luggage area is large enough to take a nine inch golf bag or a maximum size suitcase and it also includes an underfloor storage area (4wd versions excepted) which takes its potential capacity to 251 litres (VDA).

In addition, the rear seats split 60:40, and also fold in one simple movement to provide a totally flat loading floor.

To hide luggage away, the trunk area has an integral tonneau cover which differs from the conventional by being attached to the tailgate and rises with the door when the trunk is opened.

"The interior displays a number of attributes which really sum up the entire car. There's a lot of emotion here, a real sense of fun and a genuine quality," says Albaisa.
