Chrysler Nassau 2010, presentation in Detroit
December 31, 2009 by Automotive
Filed under Automotive news
A few days ago I commented on the recreation that became a futurist on as is the Brazilian version of Chrysler the 500 . Now came the first image (spy) of how it will be another model of Chrysler based on a model of the Group Fiat , as in this case Lancia .

What we see in picture is not really something I would have liked never existed, but apparently will be one of the bad news we have in Detroit earlier this year. At least I expected, aunquesa, was to take the job of designing something more akin to the American company and not only incorporating a new grille.

The name of this new model would be Chrysler Nassau , but that is something that will not be known until next week when you start the lounge (down the concept with that name).

No data, even the smallest detail of what will be this model, but first we will see as a concept in the classroom and at the end of the 2010 and will be incorporated into the market. The most important and therefore possibly successful, is occupied by the segment, but this is something I still can not tell.

The bottom of the HB is protected by armor panels to protect the drivetrain, the passengers of the rocks and other potentially harmful objects.

During the latter part of the year were many recreations of potential and future models of brands such as Lamborghini , Ferrari and Porsche , but another of marks which was quite recreated by designers is Bugatti , and an example is the Renaissance Design Concept of John Mark Vicente .

He is a graduate in Communication Design at Emily Carr University, Canada . His idea is to create a successor to Veyron , in which I take as a basis for creating the Renaissance (rebirth ).
His work excellently presented and developed in many ways captures the brand identity today, and also established itself as a supercar than it replaces.

On the front I saw a big grill (with a red line around it), some optical design with extremely aggressive (with an incredible cut), round lights rompeniebla very interesting and a skirt that fits really well.
On the side we see some impressive tire (with a red line around it), a lower carbon fiber, a very interesting design of the door and the back, and an exquisite finish.

And in the back we see a disproportionate vents, some very interesting optical, logo in large red and a red line that continues to air intakes of the roof.

A Japanese project aims at ensuring that electric and hybrid models of Toyota are loaded with solar energy. This will be in Japan (Tokyo) and talked for 21 stations in 11 locations in the city.

These stations can be kept running on the stored energy. In addition it can provide electricity in the event of a disaster.
As I said on other occasions, solar energy is still under development, but if this really takes shape, it is likely that its development is done in the best way is always best to try things out every day working in study sites. Ojala way to load this car continues to evolve.
