Here is a Coolest Concept Cars of 2006 according to Forbes.:clap: :clap:
Aston Martin Rapide
Aston Martin makes sports cars, not sedans, right? Well, yes--but don't tell Aston its four-door Rapide prototype isn't a sports car.Aston's Rapide is technically a four-door, but with sleek and beautiful styling that seems closer to that of sports cars. Another stunning Aston design.
Chevrolet Camaro
GM's mean-looking Chevrolet Camaro prototype has been one of the few pieces of good news from the company in the last 12 months. The prototype, a modern take on a 1969 Camaro, has an unapologetic look, and GM is reportedly not going to allow car clinics and focus groups to mess with it.
Chrysler Imperial
Chrysler's Imperial prototype sedan is one bad mother. And like Chrysler's popular 300, the Imperial is supposed to take Detroit sedans back to their glory days, when they were built with plenty of size and a sinister attitude. Somewhat unattractive, the Imperial has more severe styling than the 300. Chrysler is thinking to turn this prototype into reality.
Dodge Challenger
Dodge's Challenger had the same mission as Chevrolet's Camaro when both cars were unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show in Detroit: to give its parent company a Mustang-fighter.
Lamborghini Miura
Lamborghini's Miura takes retro to another level; it is nearly a replica of its predecessor. That makes sense, however, considering that the original Miura of the 1960s and '70s is one of the most-admired car designs.
Maybach Exelero
Maybach, the maker of $300,000-plus sedans, produced the Exelero prototype.The Exelero is supposed to look like a Maybach of the 1930s.With its 700-hp, twin-turbo V-12, the Exelero reached 218 mph on the high-speed track at Nardo, Italy.
Mazda Senku
Mazda has had a nice 12-month run with concept cars. The Senku prototype has sleek, futuristic looks that recall, in spirit, such all-time legends as Bertone's Lancia Stratos 0 prototype of 1970 and certain Pininfarina Ferrari concepts of the late '60s and early '70s.
Mercedes-Benz bionic car
Mercedes based the shape of its bionic car prototype on a tropical fish called the "boxfish." The company says the fish is "streamlined and therefore represents an aerodynamic ideal." Mercedes engineers constructed a model of the boxfish, put it in a wind tunnel in Germany, found it to be unusually aerodynamic and turned the idea behind the model into a vehicular prototype. The result is pretty stylish.
Nissan GT-R Proto
Nissan's sexy GT-R Proto concept stole the Tokyo Motor Show from Ferrari and Audi, the latter of which had a Lamborghini-powered model on display.
Volkswagen EcoRacer
The purpose of Volkswagen's EcoRacer prototype is to have a sports car with nearly unheard-of fuel economy. The EcoRacer looks beautiful.
Honda FCX fuel cell concept
The design of the FCX makes the most of the packaging advantages of Honda's fuel cell powertrain, which allows designers a low floor, low center of gravity, and plenty of cabin space.
Honda's V Flow fuel cell stack fits within the car's central tunnel and puts out 100kw of power. The powertrain features three motors, one in the front and a smaller unit in each rear wheel. The concept car can store sufficient hydrogen to give a cruising range of 350 miles.
The FCX concept is intended to be paired with the Home Energy Station, a residential energy system that supplies hydrogen fuel for the vehicle, as well as heat and electricity for the home.
Reports say that FCX hydrogen fuel cell concept is now set for production.
