Audi RSQ - Future car or just a concept?
From all times car manufacturers are trying to design the cars of the future. If we are talking about cars that stared in movies like Batman, Agent 007 we can see that the companies produced some prototypes that are featured with a special and distinguish design, with powerful motors and a lot of astonishing characteristics.
The main question is, in what kind of measures someone can produce a car thought for 2035? How can they predict what kind of motor will be using, what kinds of features and especially, what will be the top speed of one of this future cars?
The Audi manufacturer imagined how can all this will be.
Audi made a prototype that is supposed to be used in the future, based on the story of the movie I Robot, a car that can be drove in the year 2035.
For the first time, the manufacturer Audi collaborated with the I Robot movie director Alex Proyas on this project. They made a car that contains of course, first of all, the emblem of Audi company, the 4 rings and the traditional design of all Audi cars.
The special parts that may be said that comes from the future thinking are the wheels transformed in spheres and the butterfly doors.
We may say that the company has not thought yet about what kind of engine the car will use, what kind of speed and other elements of technology, the car is made more for it`s sequential appearance in that movie and not for it`s ability of his technical characteristics. For all that we may agree that the concept of future car remains just an idea, because nobody can actually know what kind of engine can be conceived for all the new fuels that our scientist are now just in the phase of experimenting.

\'59 Ford Galaxie
It\'s actually an HDR night shot with long exposure times. It was a bit hard to take it since there was some traffic on the street and many photos were ruined because they were driving by.

Honda Civic
Artículo Patrocinado
Honda presenta el nuevo Civic y lo hace con este magnífico anuncio y con un site dedicado al nuevo modelo. La dirección es http://www.nuevohondacivic.com/
La web está bien diseñada y ofrece información sobre el coche, sus versiones, su tecnología, descarga de fondos, salvapantallas... Está hecha con Flash, lo que nos permitirá por ejemplo ver el interior del coche con detalle, así como tener información completa sobre cada uno de los puntos. Por supuesto, podremos ver las especificaciones y prestaciones del coche, que deben acompañar al diseño. Un coche con este diseño debe llevar dentro un motor que le de vidilla, porque de lo contrario nos quedaremos a medias.
El diseño del Honda Civic sigue siendo, desde mi punto de vista, lo más destacado, y es que el frontal es muy agresivo y deportivo. Las ópticas de serie no necesitan ningún retoque para parecer atractivas y detalles como el intermitente triangular en los espejos son elementos muy atractivos.
Por cierto, se puede pedir una prueba de conducción directamente desde la web y subscribirse a un newsletter que nos permitirá estar al día de las novedades.
Los modelos typeR y typeS merecen mención aparte. Estos modelos de tres puertas tienen una imagen aún más cuidada y deportiva y con la apariencia de serie es suficiente para tener un coche que haga parase y mirar dos veces a los viandantes. La verdad es que es un modelo que no necesita añadidos, quizás algún trabajo con la pintura y poco más, porque hasta el interior es muy bonito.
