Photo Gallery: Car Designs for the Future

 

The students at the Faculty of Transportation Design, Pforzheim University, have come up with car designs for the future. This end-of-term project by Jun Hyuck has a flowing form, sleek lines and razor-sharp edges.

 

Professor Lutz Fügener says the internal combustion engine could soon be history. One of his students, Harsih Kumar, has designed this pyramid on wheels. These futuristic cars could soon be on our streets.  

 Alain Brideson: The New Zealander's design is based on a radically reduced frontal area, a tear-drop shaped carriage and a chassis that is capable of inclining. 

 

 Render Makush: The average age of motorcyclists in Germany is 42. This designer wanted to create a bike that would be more attractive to younger people. 

 Zimo Yang: This three-wheeled energy efficient vehicle is a completely different conception of what a car should look like. 

 Several students are working with Honda to produce sportscars that can run on fuel cells.
