See The New BMW Concept 4 Grille Redesigned By Another Fan

BMW has probably been getting a lot of hate mail from fans criticizing the design direction the next-generation 4 Series Coupe is going to take with its oversized grille. The Concept 4 unveiled earlier this month at the Frankfurt Motor Show was certainly moulded after the next-gen 4er coupe, so the road-going model will be very similar, albeit some of the design cues might be toned down.

Inspired by iconic models such as the 3.0 CSi and the 328 according to BMW, the controversial grille has lost its thick metal framing to match the look of the large air intakes at the corners of the front bumper. It lends the car a meaner appearance and we actually prefer it to the original design, but as always, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Like it or not, bigger BMW grilles are here to stay. Following the X7 and the facelifted 7 Series, prototypes of the next-generation M3 have been caught hiding enlarged kidneys. Logic tells us there’s also a pretty good chance the new 4 Series Convertible we’ve spotted on numerous occasions was also carrying the new corporate grille. In addition, concepts like the Vision M Next, i Vision Dynamics, Vision Next 100, and the Vision iNext all had chunky grilles – as seen below.

In BMW's defence, if Audi can get away with its large single-frame grille and Lexus with its huge spindle grille, we can learn to tolerate the oversized kidneys.

As for the production-ready 4 Series Coupe, it’ll likely come out at some point in 2020 and be joined shortly by the soft-top convertible replacing today’s metal roof configuration.

It demonstrates the evolution of Hyundai’s “Sensuous Sportiness” design language. 45 EV features distinctive lattice radiator grille with a kinetic cube lamp design that evokes analogue emotions.

At the bottom of the door, there’s a special garnish that highlights its long-distance battery capability through active LED lights. This way, drivers can intuitively know how much longer they can drive even before they get in the car.

Hyundai imagines that in a self-driven vehicle, the interior would become a unique living space that can be transformed to accommodate a range of passenger lifestyles. The 45 EV visions “Style Set Free” strategy for our future mobility, it emphasizes personalization of design and function. The interior has been designed in a way that this vehicle can evolve into a living space.

Agressivo: The SUV You Wish Lamborghini Made


Talk of a car in its ambiance and its luxury, a car that commands respect in his league, a car of its own then Lamborghini will top the list.

This was designed for the year 2022 when Lamborghini realizes that the Urus needs an overhaul either because it’s selling like hotcakes, or not selling at all, the Agressivo (a concept SUV by Fernando Pastre Fertonani) is, quite simply put, more tastefully Lamborghini-esque. You see, the Urus was a major deviation for Lamborghini, which usually makes cars that aren’t dictated by commercial needs, but rather by a need for speed. Urus, even aesthetically, stuck to the Lamborghini as much as it could but tried to look less aggressive and more road-friendly. The Agressivo SUV does the opposite.

You see, an aggressive demeanor doesn’t necessarily make a car look less street-legal or commercial. Agressivo’s demeanor is more in line with Lamborghini’s sportscars, but it comes in the format of an SUV, with wide tires, higher road clearance, and strangely enough, just two doors. The headlights have the same menacing glare that’s expected of Lamborghini’s automobiles, while the edge-lit taillight comes with the signature sideways ‘Y’ shape that’s also become a strong part of Lamborghini’s contemporary DNA. An absence of a grille on the front suggests the Agressivo could be Lamborghini’s first electric SUV and its second electric automobile after the Terzo Millennio concept!

Citroën eCV Concept Car Is Undergoes A New Transformation Into Iconic Citroën 2CV


This project wants to bring back the iconic Citroën 2CV (Chevaux Vapeur) into our modern world. In 1949, Citroën introduced the 2CV, now, 70 years later, Martin Hajek re-imagines all-electric, self-driving Citroën eCV, a 21st-century make-over. Even though this is not the first attempt to bring that classic car into this century just like Citroën’s own attempt in 2007, it still leaves a lot of room for imagination.

The inspiration came to Martin Hajek when he visited Paris, it occurred to him that this French capital didn’t have really a taxi icon like a black cab of London or the iconic yellow cabs of New York. So why can’t Citroën become this icon?

With electric cars and autonomous driving becoming a common thing, there are many car manufacturers start to bring their classic designs to this century such as Smart Vision EQ ForTwo, Honda Urban EV, or Peugeot e-Legend.

Citroën’s eCV concept car replaces that traditional dashboard with a digital version, it also has smaller headlamps, and replaces side mirrors with tiny cameras. Overall, it actually looks like a cartoon car, what do you think?

This Land Rover BackPacker Is A Perfect Vehicle For Travelers - Photos


In a world where they are limitless room for innovation and creativity, auto designers and makers are doing all they could to outsmart each other and to win to the heart of their loyal customers.

Talk about how reductionism can lead to a better travelling experience, Land Rover BackPacker is a concept travelling vehicle that questions about space and complexity needed while exploring the world 4×4. This project actually adds appeal to the vehicle that could lead or encourage young adventurers to enjoy outdoors even more. Inspired by the idea of fighting climate change while offering light travelling, Land Rover BackPacker features an open design, it creates an interactive space with its surroundings. This vehicle offers a multifunctional approach to be more than just a car, but also a space to hang out, a place to sleep in the wild, a mobile tent you might say.

Designed by Edwin Senger, Land Rover Backpacker Traveling Vehicle was inspired by global adventures of the first Land Rover Series 01, which features modular and highly functional design.

“To reinterpret this spirit and to bring it into a future context was the main goal besides combining it with the approach and philosophy of modern minimalists and the efficiency of tiny house lifestyles.”

During the design process, there were a lot of challenges on how to create a compressed space that still provides comfort and freedom. This project also wants to know how this affects interaction with nature and what reduction might add to user experience while travelling. Therefore, it’s important to make sure there’s a balance between comfort and freedom to guarantee memorable moments of your adventures.


The Land Rover BackPacker concept is targeting the needs of more sustainable and more flexible experiences in the future. Instead of designing a car for an individual, this concept aims to be part of an on-demand car-sharing service, which is globally set up to reach people from different regions, different cultures and different backgrounds.

BackPacker travelling vehicle offers a multifunctional space enough for two people and the freedom of a capable off-roader. To make travelling easier, the vehicle service comes with modular equipment kits that provide things you need in nature such as cooking equipment, water tank, solar sun tail, or weather protection, just plan your next adventure for a great experience.
