Concept Car of the Week: Honda Kiwami (2003)

As part of Honda's exploration into new, clean-performing technologies, the Kiwami concept was created to test public acceptance of the idea of a large, fuel cell-powered luxury sedan.  Unveiled in 2003, the simple yet striking design seemed like a Japanese twist on the Renault Vel Satis concept, which shared a similar wedge profile, wide stance and minimalist approach.  However, the Kiwami found its own interpretation of modern luxury, expressed through elegantly integrated technology rather than with crystal champagne glasses.  Up front, a full-width LED strip headlamp sat flush with the flat bonnet and the rectangular bumper to create a design of primitive beauty.  Further examples of the same simple Japanese aesthetic are found around the car, including the uncluttered body panels and a full-width tail-lamp graphic that matched the front theme.  The dramatic proportions of the interior were closely related to the package of the hydrogen power plant. Unlike other manufacturers at the time, Honda engineers did not create a 'skateboard' fuel cell chassis below the cabin. Instead, a sideways H-shaped layout for the control unit, ultracapacitor, fuel cell stack, hydrogen storage and other components was used, helping to create a lower center of gravity.

New Mitsubishi Outlander (2010) surfaces

The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander has been launched in Australia And now the revised Outlander – a slightly toned-down version of the GT Concept – has surfaced in Australia as the 2010 Outlander. Featuring the aforementioned Evo nose and a more Evo-like interior, the style is a move towards a family theme across the range by Mitubishi. The 2010 Outlander will feature Mitsubishi’s Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) – at least on the V6 versions – which improves handling and traction.

Skoda Fabia Scout Design Concept

By Tim Pollard Motor Shows 04 October 2007 10:29 Skoda Fabia Scout Design Concept: the lowdown Few surprises are in store - it follows the formula set down by the Roomster and Octavia Scouts. So it's based on the estate version of the new Fabia, but has only 'visual off-road features'. That means no four-wheel drive to you and me, so it's another weird faux-by-four.
