With a new BlackBerry Playbook tablet, the electrically powered FRENZY Concept <span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Renault Concept Car</span> is a fully fledged office on wheels.

From the very start, I wanted to move away from the traditional format for commercial vehicles and, in doing so, show that this type of vehicle could also be more emotional, more dynamic and more attractive”. While the interior designer of Renault frendzy <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ana Zadnik</span> said, “The interior of the vehicle reflects its double identity: it provides a roomy, uncluttered cargo carrying space and a space that’s fun and interactive and which seats up to four people. The organic volumes of the dashboard and rear door panels are extruded by strikingly shaped “nozzles”, which become “receptors” for accessories, which can be plugged directly into the dashboard and door panels.”<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642400840274727186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirbmkfiiPn7frPZDiMchgxXENA5-GauEqyq0fDNXeZL-oNL8J1KhT-QX9SLhAlWdldJrU-qmcZ1knFUxeKLF1HIOCIyLn7ZkO_k_gxJ_0ydygENyMNwdwr5i4okAHH0RQ72OmcTJA7jqw/s400/2011-Renault-Concept-Car-FRENZY-Concept-7.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">FRENZY Concept 2011 Renault Concept Car</span><br /></div>Features. 4.09 meters long, 2.17 wide and 1.74 high, the FRENZY Concept 2011 Renault Concept Car has a load volume of 2,250 liters up and has a curb weight of 1,420 kg.

It showcases the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Korean automaker's</span> ambitions, with Kia's chief designer declaring, "It's exactly the kind of car <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kia</span> should be making." It has certainly taken the company too long to get around to designing a <span style="font-weight: bold;">sports car</span>, but Kia's first rear-wheel drive car is a beauty, and it's packing a V-6 turbo, too. Kia has been changing what people think about <span style="font-weight: bold;">Korean cars</span> for well over a year now thanks to some <span style="font-weight: bold;">impressive designs</span>, and now the automaker is looking to add some performance to its lineup with the <span style="font-weight: bold;">new GT Concept</span> – the first ever rear-drive vehicle by Kia.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654284904585369170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_rCwMZNcjXSCmwGr4LwHqGQTzJ9XM2pgBV7NIH8_wzCnzE-cRB8v-V5loiK6wtILXU8zKsKrUMpRI7RX3ilttzH0awXnuNFtSMXVxf_dyTRgkbXOQ-dSEBbAroj0uGQNHwNlWzgPbDl0/s400/Kia-Sport-Cars-Kia-GT-Concept-At-2011-Frankfurt-Auto-Show-6.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kia GT Concept Car At 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show</span><br /></div>This is the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kia GT Concept Car At 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show</span>.

The Kia GT <span style="font-weight: bold;">Concept Car</span> At 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show apparently gives a hint to the company's new <span style="font-weight: bold;">design</span> direction inspired by "the iconic 1970s <span style="font-weight: bold;">GT cars</span>, capable of whisking passengers from Paris to the South of France in effortless style and at high speed. It would be a dream to put this into production" says <span style="font-weight: bold;">Peter Schreyer, Kia design chi</span>ef.

Helping get power to the ground in a smooth and fuel efficient manner is an 8-speed automatic transmission. This four-seat <span style="font-weight: bold;">concept</span>, introduced at the Frankfurt auto show, hints at the expected rear-wheel-drive sports sedan from Kia—which would be a first for the brand. It’s looking like a pretty sure thing, while also looking pretty darn good and unlike anything we’ve seen yet from Korea.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654284907142291058" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnRx35vfq20vXI93LwCWK_sTqU-anaqvR5ksVT2JFASGsuBDDYvSgYbq-Q1g-U7twot45FC1kV9EXjMz9MYMJIPJjQ0UYV-1PmEWjbpn6aqj6sealyZdnrga6mmVi0j-rMONjNiZlFnXU/s400/Kia-Sport-Cars-Kia-GT-Concept-At-2011-Frankfurt-Auto-Show-8.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kia GT Concept Car At 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show</span><br /></div>It’s Kia GT Concept Car At 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show a turbocharged version of the direct-injected 3.3-liter V-6 engine the conglomerate sells in other markets. In this application, it’s tied to the new eight-speed automatic seen in the Genesis and Equus, and delivers 390 hp and 394 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. The engine makes sense as the downsized replacement for the Koreans’ current 4.6-liter V-8. When the GT—or some semblance thereof—goes into production, either a turbocharged four-cylinder or a naturally aspirated V-6 will likely power the base model.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654284908220400802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbx5-QfUvDRtBAkRsFTcrfFvjk7waAaTh2tAodIhPr8VIlHXA03xO1W7XRQtN2KpQKJAcbJDe29cfxKg4T6us-_Dejb4jopIfsRUSYeZ997_t-2zDxmmKnoqkTzz2v_oqQrN3mGrnIu1g/s400/Kia-Sport-Cars-Kia-GT-Concept-At-2011-Frankfurt-Auto-Show-9.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kia GT Concept Car At 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show</span><br /></div>“This concept allows us to explore exciting new design directions, as using a rear-drive layout creates very different proportions compared to a front-wheel drive car,” says Peter Schreyer, Kia’s Chief Design Officer.  ”The classic front-engined, rear-wheel drive layout of a performance saloon has distinct appeal not just for the domestic Korean audience, but also for the European and American markets.”<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654243478869014658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypITbBeA0i0PK5zeYMITm1mzXQq2vUmb-CVfdcdEexijeJ_rM0QKvy5tPu70UZS7DVn0e-gRhJMwt5ami6xhvm3LeWgicXXEXoqO1e1_ldo6j6MRXg4DryvkiD_6GWXav1gwkoVjZKXI/s400/Kia-Sport-Cars-Kia-GT-Concept-At-2011-Frankfurt-Auto-Show-1.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654243470741016898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjcIpzruQsjyhvlDF7vn7n61gWHTjByESKxjLohXnbfRaoXi7WbDSMHaz5SwsChSeXYgV6-I-IX6Ui6F8qfQf48dCtWyURZe0wNgeVF7S6NRdhRYTp1xEi1Tdl_A3UqTLMDeaEaB71GIc/s400/Kia-Sport-Cars-Kia-GT-Concept-At-2011-Frankfurt-Auto-Show-2.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kia GT Concept Car At 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show</span><br /></div>Ignore the carbon-fiber wheel fins and sills, the glass-panel OLED interior controls, and the suicide doors, and you still end up with an attractive and eye-catching design. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kia design</span> chief Peter Schreyer has gone on record saying he wants to build more interesting and fun-to-drive cars, and this is one about which he’s clearly excited.

Honda has teamed up with Mugen again for a new hotrod special - but this one's a <span style="font-weight: bold;">hybrid</span>. The new <span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars</span> CR-Z Mugen Concept is a slightly more ecologically sound proposition than the banzai 2009 Civic Type R Mugen, and brings the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> race car</span> treatment to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Honda's hybrid coupe</span>.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623711493073285234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb8h_johwiOtlUJ0P7GsO9m6lMwzp2wwRpaj5o8zL2CW9QIioMpwvM6tQ3zQlBBe6ul4SG3M-2yb3upE297wz1jUGS-Qb3KP8w4w9-80v1cGS6onZg4emFrbRcWAjPqaCOkpWdIqNNmNg/s400/2011-Honda-Sport-Cars-Hybrid-CR-Z-Mugen-Concept-5.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span><br /></div>As the first available <span style="font-weight: bold;">sport hybrid</span>, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">CR-Z</span> demonstrates new opportunities for vehicle personalization among the import tuner community.

Though neither vehicle is intended for sale, HPD, Honda’s North American <span style="font-weight: bold;">racing</span> company, was determined to demonstrate the potential of the CR-Z for both street and racing performance. Both vehicles share many performance enhancements, with the CR-Z Hybrid R Concept highlighting <span style="font-weight: bold;">Honda-design</span>ed street styling and the HPD CR-Z Racer opting for serious racing capability. To demonstrate that capability, HPD will campaign two HPD CR-Z Racers at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race in December. HPD enhancements to both cars include: a turbocharger and upgraded IMA™ <span style="font-weight: bold;">hybrid system</span>, resulting in an estimated combined 200 horsepower and 175 lb-ft. of torque; performance clutch; limited-slip differential; ‘circuit-tuned’ suspension; upgraded brakes and aerodynamic components.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623712166018247218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVx61evyBDXpcPvHGYfK3QC1PdIFcdgkuJd_DGsG_ueKYG1kbAubW8Z4ttYeWaIxWhz-unUzTRZ24aCLyklMAj6GfVpvwHXA3nQkBvNqb8RdpsGZVuHGsT-ldss_uuiyr9XITZh_Lt2Qo/s400/2011-Honda-Sport-Cars-Hybrid-CR-Z-Mugen-Concept-6.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span><br /></div>Two vehicles were on display to demonstrate currently available Honda Genuine Accessories.

Additionally, a 2010 Accord Coupe equipped with dealer-installed Honda Factory Performance™ (HFP™) components melded a distinctive, custom appearance with an enhanced level of handling performance. All Honda Genuine Accessories offer the same 3-year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty as the rest of the vehicle, when installed at the time of new vehicle purchase, and are engineered to be fully compatible with each <span style="font-weight: bold;">Honda vehicle</span>.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623712167846686386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkN6dNTKZd8VwnllNds87n4voO4PsiHwbp3BP2ytKcYBQ80zsv5gNnRVAIEnBAoLH0ykCqBD2Ev3FyiEbrZO6H5T9SsnPGKGGDpHCLy5I-UwYuv4fvUG0rpyOP0MrFN0uszatwUa4HU9s/s400/2011-Honda-Sport-Cars-Hybrid-CR-Z-Mugen-Concept-7.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span><br /></div>Mugen Euro has developed a highly-tuned version of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid</span> Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept that aims to deliver up to 200PS and 215Nm of torque by boosting the hybrid's petrol-electric powertrain.

For that reason, we’ve kept the three driving modes, so the driver can select “eco” or “normal” to switch to economy and low emissions for daily driving, but press the Mugen button for the full-blown weekend-warrior settings”.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623711478319591650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWiej85hBd_GBxBhMFfgHu-L_FIJadYWyfXTaJdt4iqpvyhda3iRZD4N0W6kxfzDq742wwXphV_SXX4Byjf53LwpS5XUu4svye7HiRnf46mytlh0pbgfmMlbhNQsPYtL6yi49iHkhXR1g/s400/2011-Honda-Sport-Cars-Hybrid-CR-Z-Mugen-Concept-3.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2011 Honda Hybrid Cars CR-Z Mugen Concept</span><br /></div>In addition, Mugen’s engineers also widened the car’s front and rear tracks and fitted stiffer 5-step adjustable dampers and a limited slip differential to maximize traction.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S3mOwooUmWI/AAAAAAAAD2I/YT0_gUyLiiM/s400/2011-Honda-Odysey-7.gif" width="400" /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>January 26th,</b><b> 2010 Honda has confirmed that it will show the next generation of its </b><b>Odyssey minivan at the </b><b>Chicago Auto Show on February 2010. Honda today gave us the first look at the next-generation of its award-winning Odyssey minivan with the new </b><b>Honda Odyssey Concept, which is on display at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show, introduces a sleek and distinctive exterior styling direction for the next generation of the industry's best-selling minivan, set to debut this fall, </b><b>American Honda Motor Co., Inc..</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S3mOSC2AKkI/AAAAAAAAD1Y/7OJojSicdrU/s400/2011-Honda-Odysey-1.gif" width="400" /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2011 Honda Odyssey Minivan Concept</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Odyssey Concept dramatically departs from conventional minivan styling with its low and wide stance, highlighted by a "lightning-bolt" beltline that further distinguishes the vehicle's profile. Compared to the current Odyssey, the Concept's slightly lower roofline (-1.0 inch) and wider stance (+1.4 inch) contribute to a sleeker, stronger and more dynamic presence with improved aerodynamics that help increase fuel economy. Forthcoming improvements to the production Odyssey's interior are designed to further enhance the current model's accommodating space for people and cargo.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S3mOeKX70jI/AAAAAAAAD1o/TwNu1GxSzo4/s400/2011-Honda-Odysey-3.gif" width="400" /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2011 Honda Odyssey Minivan Concept</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The steeply raked front and rear roof pillars, unique side-glass profile, chamfered roof line, and tapered rear cabin shape combine to create a dynamic and distinctive appearance from any perspective. The lightning-bolt beltline dives toward the rear of the vehicle emphasizing the new Odyssey's sporty appearance while enhancing outward visibility for third-row passengers. Aggressive body-to-wheel proportions reduce the perception of vertical height common to most minivan designs. Fender flares further accent the vehicle's securely planted and stylish persona. The concept vehicle's projector beam headlights, LED taillights and form-fit fog lights further heighten the sophisticated quality of the design.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S3mOmgybmFI/AAAAAAAAD14/rMTt_vpD5Tc/s400/2011-Honda-Odysey-5.gif" width="400" /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2011 Honda Odyssey Minivan Concept</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Enhanced aerodynamics and advanced powertrain technologies will contribute to the next-generation Odyssey's increased fuel efficiency.

The Odyssey has been America's best-selling minivan(2) since 2008 and is produced exclusively in Alabama by Honda Manufacturing of Alabama (using domestic and globally sourced parts). Both the concept and production vehicles, along with all development activity for the 2011 Odyssey, are being designed at Honda R&D Americas in Torrance, California, and Raymond, Ohio.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S3mO6PeeYSI/AAAAAAAAD2Y/UDfGkh68gZ0/s400/2011-Honda-Odysey-9.gif" width="400" /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2011 Honda Odyssey Minivan Concept</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Odyssey has won numerous awards and critical acclaim.
