Have you ever wondered why your dad never let you drive his DeLorean DMC-12, Lancia Delta Integrale, Ford RS 200, BMW E30 M3, or Porsche 959? Do you ever wonder why your best friend is always reluctant to give you his Mini Cooper, Nissan 350Z2, Hummer H3T, Holden Coupe 60, or Isuzu DMAX? Well, there is nothing as close to a man’s heart as cool cars and supercars. Men simply love cars and supercars. The cool cars mentioned above, and much more, are products of concepts borrowed from the concepts cars.
Concept Cars
Concept cars are cars that are made to show new styling or technology that an organization intends to apply in the production of new car models. These cars help car manufacturing companies determine the response of customers to

Toyota was the only brand in the market at that time that had not produced a concept car. Therefore, Toyota awarded Calty Design Research the contract to help them design and develop the concept car. The estimated cost of developing is concept car is $1 million. Currently, Toyota FT-1 is still at the concept stage. In August 2014, its gray replica was displayed at the Monterey Jet Center, Monterey, California.
Concept Car Photography
Concept cars not only contribute to the development of new models of cars, they have also created a number of new jobs and industries, such as the concept car photography. Today, there are a number of concept car photographers, such as the renowned Tim Wallace who has worked with a number of car manufacturers and brands such as Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Dodge, Chevrolet, and Peugeot.
The need to reach many customers as possible motivated the development of concept car photography. This is because many customers across the globe are unable to attend the motor shows where concept cars are normally displayed. Therefore, good, quality pictures of concept cars need to be taken for publishing in newspapers, magazines, and websites where customers can easily access them. The more customers a car manufacturer is able to reach, the better idea it is able to get about customers ' perception of the concept car. Most photographs of concepts cars are normally displayed on their
Over the past sixty years, the American car scene has been dominated by two completely different vehicles and the entire communities that believe in them. Both designed, founded, and rooted in Detroit, Michigan, the Ford Mustang and the Corvette have continued to fuel the chase for the label of America’s true muscle car. The question over the years has been, why and how do consumers choose which to own, and which one is our “bald eagle”? Investigating deeper into the roots of each American superpower, it all began with introduction of something that would change the automotive industry forever. “Corvette: Dream Car Come True”, is an article that highlights the beginning of the car movement in the United States: the birth of Chevrolet’s Corvette. “Born in 1953 at the General Motors plant in Flint, Michigan, the Corvette grew up on the raceway and has ruled the road ever since” (Seiden 14). The article also goes on to mention that “the Corvette is not for racers only. True car lovers own Corvette cars for everyday driving… and the highest performance standards have been built into every model” (Seiden 14). Early dominance of Corvettes on and off the racetrack, led other competitors such as Ford Motor Company wonder why and how the Corvette could be out-driven and out-sold. Directly opposing the release of the Corvette and its multipurpose ingenuity “Lee Iacocca, then general manager of Ford Motor Company, challenged his design team to create a car that could be driven ‘to
It is important to realize the basic facts that are associated with cars and with BMW in particular, and that different demographic are attracted towards different types of car, to later understand that even though the product in the ad may be amazing but the ad itself is not. Did you know that in 2010 the number of cars in the world reached a billion (Noël)? Today’s culture is highly surrounded and based on the use of cars. They are such a prominent part of our culture today that if an alien were to visit our planet right now they might just consider cars to be the dominant form of life (The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy). There are so many different types, and makes of cars that they can suit any personality in the world.
The situational analysis is done to analyze the different environmental forces that can affect the sales and acceptability of the new product. In the later sections, the marketing objectives, the target segment for the new car, action programs, and marketing mix (product, price, promotion, and place) have been discussed in a view to set a roadmap for the company on how it can better market and sell its product to the most potential segment of the consumers. The marketing budget has been presented to give an estimate of the expenditures and expected revenues for the year. Finally, the ethical considerations for the marketing plan have been discussed which are also
This paper will cover the comparison of two cars manufactured by two heavy weight American car companies. Based on the research that was done, it determined that the Ford Mustang wins in two of the three categories in which it was judged. This comparison will cover three separate categories: sales, performance, and pop culture. This has been a debate for over fifty years and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Even after these two companies disappear there will still be debate on which is greater. All citations are from the manufacturer’s official page, major automotive magazines, and performance branches of each vehicle. I will not be including aftermarket vehicles designed outside of the company. Due to the subjective
Cars are essential for our modern day to day life. It is very important to choose a good car that will match all your needs.so a person must really think wisely about his new car that he will buy.

Each students design is their own and even though they build their cars individually, they also learn from one another by incorporating a good idea into their design. Students soon learn to respect their competitors and get back good comments on their accomplishments. This project is also good for teaching
The well-thought out, vivid designing of the vehicle may be the first that comes to mind when admiring this product. When the reader opens the first page of the magazine, he or she is captivated by the image of a virtuous, well-built car. The picturesque
A car is an extension of who we are - the ultimate attire, which is why the essence of this film is so attractive - at its core - the concept is so simple. It’s about embracing a driver’s connection with the verb. What does driving a Mazda feel like? What runs through your veins when you are behind the wheel? This is what first grabbed my imagination. A notion that is relatable and familiar enough, but that can be delivered in a way, that will turn typical car advertising on its head and propel the audience into an extraordinary time and place. Creating a cinematic world, that is not only mesmerisingly beautiful, but also rich in layers and metaphors, taking the viewer on a journey of ‘togetherness’, where man and machine are as one.
Women do not tend to have the same type of relationship with their automobiles as men do. In Virginia Scharff’s article, “Femininity and the Electric car”, this relationship between women and cars is explained in depth. Two websites that show how women look at automobiles are, www.womanmotorist.com and www.cybergrrl.com/fun/womenandcars/.
The car series was introduced after the World War II and represented sleek and modern luxury cars which were never introduced before. The unique styling included tail fins and short wheel base.
In any market there are opportunities to be found. The automotive market is no different. For example, there has been a trend growing in the automotive market, which leans toward renewable energies and those vehicles that will leave less of an impact on their surrounding environment. Green technologies are tied into political agendas and public opinion. Porsche Automotive Group has not missed this less than subtle hint. In keeping with this trend, in the pasted decade Porsche has been developing electric cars (Porsche SE Group, 2016). Another opportunity that exists for Porsche Automotive Group is also one of their weaknesses. It is the fact that they specialize in luxury vehicles for an exclusive class of society. The current
There are many unmistakable characteristics that define a Bentley – distinctive design, handcrafted luxury, supreme comfort, ultimate performance, and a refined and exhilarating driving experience. Yet it is the company’s brand imaging through
Introducing a new model of automobile generally takes three to five years from inception to assembly. Ideas for new models are developed to respond to unmet pubic needs and preferences. Trying to predict what the public will want to drive in five years is no small feat, yet automobile companies have successfully designed automobiles that fit public tastes. With the help of computer-aided design equipment, designers develop basic concept drawings that help them visualize the proposed vehicle 's appearance. Based on this simulation, they then construct wax models that can be studied by styling experts familiar with what the public is likely to accept. Aerodynamic engineers also review the models, studying airflow parameters and doing feasibility studies on crash tests. Only after all models have been reviewed and accepted are tool designers permitted to begin building the tools that will manufacture the component parts of the new model.

When I was a young teen, I spent countless hours watching television series on Saturday afternoons. These shows are where I caught my first glimpse of the legendary car. Seeing that Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow for the first time invoked indescribable emotions in me. As a youth, my father took me to the nearby Paris Motor
