Peugeot e-Motion
The e-Motion is an electric-powered sportscar with a design characterized by the combination of concave and convex surfaces.
The combination of concave and convex surfaces can be found in the concave surface which surrounds the whole front and ends in the door silhouettes.
The dynamic look is enhanced in the sideview by a sharp crease line which flows from the headlights, into the doors and continues with the rear lights.
The headlights, rear lights and the rims are melting into the body so the whole car looks like a single sculpted volume.

Honda Sports FC
The Honda Sports FC is the new concept car by Honda. It looks something straight out of a futuristic sci-fi film and that is just how we like it!
The car is definitely a looker, but the most interesting part of this car is the engine. Hydrogen powered engines on a sports car, now that is conceptual alright! But Honda has done it, at least in concept:
“The Honda FC Sport explores how to satisfy automotive performance enthusiasts in a world beyond petroleum,” Dan Bonawitz, vice president for American Honda, said in a statement. “People who love sports cars will still have a reason to love in a hydrogen-powered future.”
The Honda FC Sports was revealed to the general public at the Los Angeles Auto Show this year (2008).

Audi Locus
The Audi Locus Concept is a sporty coupe which adopts an organic design language made of flowing curves. The author is Turkish designer Ugur Sahin.
A curved sharp edged line starts at the very front, flowing through the middle section, slightly bending down after the A pillar and then rising up again at the rear wheel arches to follow its way back until the diffuser.
The same curve language is also applied to the greenhouse and the design of the windows.
The front has an aggressive look with the traditional Audi grille. The air intakes are shaped like the headlights to create a coherent feeling.
The rear section is very organic with defined curves and subtle details, tail lights are designed to have integrated air outtakes underneath them to avoid any unnecessary details.
The sleek design of the rear volume is defined by the dual exhaust tail pipes located at the very sides and by the dark surfaces of the diffuser.
Another feature is the roof that integrates both the windshield and the rear window into a single continuous glass surface, with an air intake at the bottom of the rear window.
