    • ]]>     A concept vehicle or show vehicle is a car prototype made to showcase a concept, new styling and new technology. They are often shown at motor shows to gauge customer reaction to new and radical designs which may or may not have a chance of being produced. Concept cars never go into production directly; in modern times all would have to undergo many changes before the design is finalized for the sake of practicality, safety and cost. A “production-intent” vehicle, as opposed to a concept vehicle, serves this purpose. Here are sixty six models of Japanese concept cars through the last fifty years since 1957 till 2009. Pick your favorite!

    • ]]>     This is a new modern Russian concept car named Vedrover. Its name comes as a combination of two words, first is “ведро” that in Russian means bucket (apparently because it is shaped like a bucket), and second one is rover as an obvious association to a well known brand “landrover”. This adorable little car is the last word of Russian automobile industry and it is still only a concept. I’m not sure if this idea will ever come to a realization, but it looks pretty cool, and I would like to have something like this.

    • ]]>     This is one awesome digital camera designed by Franziska Dierschke. You really get to shoot pictures with it-literary. icon smile Some people might say that the gun shaped design is a bit too much and that it is somewhat tacky and tasteless, but I think it’s pretty cool and very funny. I would even like to have one of these. Unfortunately, this gun camera is still a concept and is not yet available for sale.
