Toby Concept Car by Fulop Gellert

We just got design submission from Fulop Gellert, it's a concept car called Toby. Yes, the name reminds us to "A Special Story about Toby", you can read the reason behind this cute name from the designer's own words below.

The concept cars name is Toby. It might seem a persons name and it is, but I also decided to give it to my concept. This is because I believe it has a personality, not because of it's deign features, but because of how it became to be.

My inspiration for this concept started from a conversation I had with a friend, who said "why don't you build a car company yourself ?". Of course he didn't know much about running a company of any size, nevertheless I started thinking, how could I start a car company in my own little town?. My town is famous for making good violins and other musical instruments. So I started thinking, using the tools, the craftsmanship, and the experience of our local violin makers, what kind of car I could make. This was how Toby concept car born. However, simply making a car using wood panels and carbon fiber was nothing new. I wanted to show people how ideas were born and how a simple thought can become a story or a dream, which may or may not become reality. To do this, I thought I made a video, a story of how Toby was born.

Aluminum Unibody e-Bike

Named after the 13th element that composes its unibody frame, the electric Bike 13 is both a feat of functional engineering and aesthetic integrity. Its hybrid engine is packed tightly within a robust yet lightweight, compact frame. Also built into the frame is a self-locking mechanism that freezes the rear wheel when parked to deter theft. It's pure e-bike… nothing more and nothing less than what you need.

EcoMoto Bamboo Scooter

Designed around EngineAir Australia's compressed air powered rotary engine, this concept scooter was developed as a green solution for casually zipping around town. Focused around ecology and utility, with the design cuts the bike down to its bare essentials. Steam pressed bamboo is used in place of plastic for all of the fairings, to give it a unique, raw aesthetic that draws viewer's eyes to the unconventional engine design as well as the air tank that replaces the fuel tank.

S-Walker Board

S-Walker Board acts just like a skateboard but it also asks you to have great balance to ride it. It's a combination of a segway, skateboard, and a balance board in one, the result looks like pretty simple board but rideable to get you to your destination. This deck is powered by a pair 250W double brushed motors with lead acid battery that takes just 1 hour to get fully charged. The company claims that this deck can reach up to 4mph and keep running up to 12miles depending on the terrain and your riding style. Just like Segway, you can control this board with your body movements.

Maserati Bora

Maserati is the quintessential Italian sports tourer legend, so trying to perfect what many believe is perfection seems like a daunting task. But that's precisely what Alexander Imnadze seems to have done with his stab at the trident brand: the Bora. It's forward thinking for today's Maserati, but a realistic, if not recommended, step in the right direction for their future design language. We're only getting a taste of the exterior here, but we already like it more than the GranTurismo!

Kid’s Scooter Pack

Michael Markiewicz' scooter was désigned for kids who commute! Rather than lug around a backpack on their shoulders, the combination design includes a backpack adapted to attach to the front of the scooter. After they've arrived at school, kids can collapse the scooter and roll their bag from class to class like wheeled luggage. Better for the back and twice as fun!

Navia Driverless Shuttle Car

Navia Self-Driving Electric Shuttle Car is the result of partnership between Induct Technology and Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). It is said that Navia is world's first automated electric shuffle car that offers eco-friendly alternative to public transports or private cars in urban areas. This vehicle can accommodate up to 8 passengers with a maximum speed of 12.5mph, it's been designed as a complement to conventional transportation.

This robotic transportation is equipped with laser telemetry, GPRS, and sensors that detect its acceleration and rotation around all 3 axes (to and from, side to side, up and down). In this way, it can instantly calculate its position, route, and distance traveled. It has the ability to analyze every information in real time such as route, location, and obstacle, it carries the passengers in complete safety and drive them to the place they want to go without problems.
