Jeep Hurricane




The Jeep Hurricane is another design of a pure off-roader. Huge wheel, high fenders, high suspensions and ground clearance, these are all characteristics of a pure off-road machine. The Hurricane has no roof or door, however, there may be a soft top to cover the top of the car in case of bad weather. There is only seating for two, and occupants will need to swing into the car due to the lack of a door. This car feels like one of those jeeps in Halo. Well, you could imagine you are the main character of Halo by sitting on one of these. However, they will not enter production in the near future. So, you'll have to wait sometime before you get to sit on this cool babe.

Land Rover LRX




The Land Rover LRX is one of those coupe styled SUVs. This is the first Land Rover to take the environment into consideration. It features a hybrid engine of an electric motor and a diesel engine. The LRX features an aggressive and elegant design for the front fascia. This will likely be the design trend of Land Rovers yet to come. The LRX should begin production in the year 2009.

KTM X-Bow





The X-Bow is the first car designed by the Austrian motorcycle company, KTM. The X-Bow is designed to compete with the Ariel Atom. Specs are similar. The X-Bow uses a turbocharged Audi 2Litre engine rated at 237hp. This sports car is going to be a thriller. The company plans to build 500 a year. However, due to it's high demand, production has been increased to 1000 a year.

Kia Kue







The Kia Kue is designed to be a medium cross-over SUV. It seats 5 and is designed to compete with the Hyundai Santa Fe and Veracruz. The front fascia is beautifully created with elegant flowing lines. Meanwhile, a cool feature are the scissor doors. Scissor doors are very rarely found in an SUV. The Kia Kue features a 4.6Litre V8 capable of producing 400hp. Will the Kia Kue's quality match that of the Veracruz? We'll see when it comes out.

Hummer HX






The Hummer HX concept is based on the standard Hummer H3. However, the extra bodywork has been removed, therefore enhancing off-road capabilities. Lines have been refined to produce a more subtle machine. The size has been reduced and so has weight. The aim is for off-road. The HX Concept is like a cross-bred between a Hummer and a Jeep. In this Hummer, the different body panels may be removed. Therefore, you can have an enclosed "Hummer" environment or an airy "Jeep" environment. Even the doors and the fenders over the wheels can be removed. The sole purpose of this car? Off-Road.

GMC Denali XT



The GMC Denali is a concept pickup truck, revealed on the 2nd of February, 2008. This car features a hybrid powertrain. It is great because it is sporty, robust and cool.

Featuring a powerful engine with a 4-Wheel drive and 360hp, it can take you anywhere you want to go. Cool. How is it cool? Basically, if when you add sporty with robust, a car is cool. So what are you waiting for? The GMC Denali XT.

Giugiaro Ford Mustang






The Giugiaro Ford Mustang is based on the stock Mustang. However, it has been redesigned by Fabrizio Giugiaro, a descendant of the renowned Giugiaro design family. This car has been thoroughly redesigned with mixed in European elements to make the Mustang into a more intimidating sports car. The front and the back have been widened, meanwhile, the windscreen has been tapered to give a sleeker look. A new cool addition are scissor doors. The interior has also been redesigned including new, more modern looks. More leather and aluminium elements have been added. A new trim includes furry horesehide. With this new trim, the car is now more "Mustang-like". This new Mustang uses the same 4.6Litre V8 engine, but very different. It has been given twin superchargers, tuned by Italdesign and given fuel injectors from the Ford GT. Also, it is given a larger air meter. Race pipes and exhausts are used. With all these extras, this car is rated at 500hp. The car becomes perfect with the Ford Race Handling Pack. This package features special Dynamic-tuned dampers, lower springs, and thicker anti-sway bars. Ride height is lowered by 38mm. The Ford Mustang was already perfect. This one is even better.
