Be excited, folks, because this is the very first picture of the Valmet Eva concept, the brainchild of Valmet Automotive. This is the same supplier — the same Finnish supplier, no less — whom we have to thank for the manufacture of not just the famed Porsche Boxster but also for the Caymen models. Valmet is also a big part of the upcoming Fisker Karma.

Back to the Eva, however, it is designed to showcase Valmet Automotive’s eco friendly side.

The concept’s body structure is extremely lightweight, its recharging systems and its electric system are both highly innovative, and all thanks to Fortum, an energy firm.

The electric car gets a lot of juice and inside it has a pioneering kind of HMI, which comes thanks to Nokia.

Every automaker is going environmentally friendly in some capacity or another these days, and Italdesign Giugiaro is joining in with a new concept. Specifically, they are going to introduce an entire series of cars which promise to be of a low impact to the environment, in conjunction with Proton, a manufacturer from Malaysia. The fruit of this union will be revealed next month at the motor show in Geneva.

This will be the first of those concepts, a car revolving around a hybrid drive system. The design is such so that all space is maximized. The concept is a hatchback with four seats and five doors.

Not a lot is yet known about the Proton concept, but as we get news, you will too.

Detroit’s 2010 auto show recently took place; a lot of great new vehicles and interesting new concepts were unveiled during its duration. One of those was the second version of Audi’s E-Tron concept.

It proved to be smaller than its predecessor, which received its unveiling in 2009 at the auto shows in Los Angeles and Frankfurt. It is set to be somewhat similar to the line of Quattro vehicles.

The vehicle is 1780 millimeters in width and 3930 millimeters in length, and it is a two seater. In terms of its wheelbase and its length, it is quite similar to VW’s Bluesport concept. However, the E-Tron weighs a mere 1,350 kilograms.

Its light weight is due largely to the fact that its body is aluminum; other building materials include composite materials reinforced with carbon fibers.

This look at the Subaru Hybrid Tourer concept is still relatively new, since the actual concept itself was only recently revealed at Tokyo’s forty first annual motor show. It is actually a proposal for what the automaker hopes will be a grand touring vehicle in the future. The primary aim of the innovative concept — which looks like it might take wing and fly away at any given minute — is to combine driving performance with safety and a high level of eco and environmental friendliness.

As a matter of fact, as it applies to the exterior, wings were the central inspiration for the vehicle. Why? Because they make for an air of confidence and total freedom. The gullwing doors are naturally a more phyisical interpretation of that feeling.

Well, folks, I have got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that this little beauty, the Maruti Suzuki Concept R3, will soon be unveiled at the 2010 Auto Expo in New Delhi, India, the product of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., which is the leading car manufacturer in India.

The bad news? Well, we might not be able to see it anywhere else, which is really kind of a shame. One can only hope that Suzuki will come up with a similar concept or will bring the car into product stateside and in Europe.

The point of this car is to fulfill any needs a family might have, but by keeping it compact, not bulky and large, as some other family vehicles.

The concept of the Lexus LF-A Roadster was initially unveiled in Detroit, at the auto show in 2006. Since then, Toyota has taken its luxury division to brand new heights, primarily by showcasing the latest version: a high performance, two seater roadster.

It was only recently unveiled at the very same auto show last year. Like its predecessor, the Lexus LF-A Roadster has an aluminum body and carbon fiber, making it very lightweight. A V10 engine purrs beneath the hood. The claims say that the concept is able to get more than five hundred horsepower and that it can reach speeds higher than two hundred miles per hour, making it a definite force to be reckoned with.

The Audi R8 was initially launched back in 2006, during the auto show in Paris. Now, however, Audi has shown the Audi R8 V12 TDI concept, in order to properly show off the LeMans winner.

The changes that have been made to the sleek car go far, far deeper than one might think. They are more complex than simply putting in a shoehorned V12 diesel engine. The air intakes are larger and louvered in both the front and the rear. The integration of the tailpipes is cleaner as well.

As far as the interior goes, the Audi R8 V12 TDI concept has a very distinguishing steering wheel — there is a start and stop button mounted on it. The sporty seats are evocative of a speedy racer and there are more elements made of carbon fibers and aluminum.

Wow. Just … wow. So, as the title says, this is the Bugatti Galibier concept, which was rather recently introduced in Molsheim, France. Officially titled the Bugatti 16C Galibier concept, this car is a serious looker — and no wonder, since the manufacturers make no bones about their expectations for this vehicle: they want it to be nothing less than the most exclusive and elegant car in the entire world.

I would say that they are well on their way with their expectations, if only because even in pictures, this car practically screams class and prestige — as you would expect from any vehicle carrying the Bugatti name, am I right?

Inside and out, everything about this car is exclusive and powerful, from its name to its exterior to all the features inside.

Introducing the Suzuki Alto Concept! Or, rather, it will be introduced when the motor show in Tokyo takes place at a later point this month. It will celebrate the Alto nameplate’s thirtieth anniversary.

The concept recently made its most recent debut back during the motor show in Paris. It is designed to show the future of mini vehicles, and specializes in being user friendly and having a high level of economy.

The design does not differ a whole lot from the European version currently in production, although Suzuki itself assures that this version is totally different.

It is designed to provide a high degree of comfort for the driver and passengers, and it comes with plenty of features specifically made for convenience.
