Alfa Romeo is a marque best known for its wonderful, iconic designs. It is therefore quite a challenge when a designer goes the way of an independent study with the Alfa Romeo name. Designer Ugur Sahin seems to have pulled that off well with the 12C GTS.
A Ferrari and a bicycle are the polar opposites in almost everything, except when they are the same thing. Austrian artist Hannes Langeder’s Fahrradi Farfall FFX is a custom made Ferrari, and a bicycle. Built to look like the track only supercar Ferrari FFX, the Farfall FFX does not boast a V12 engine, F1 technology or the magnificence of the prancing horse, what it does have is street legal status in Austria and pedal power.
Decked in striking sleek looks, the Bizzarrini Veleno Concept is a car of the future. Envisioned as a supercar for the year 2030, the Veleno would be a eco-friendly biohydrogen-powered vehicle.

The required fuel hydrogen would be generated by sources like algae and organic waste, which would then feed the fuel cell system.
Concepts generally have the leeway of going past the accepted and the pragmatic to don the feathers of imagination and take a big leap.

Someone throws the Bugatti name, we’re happy. Yep, we are that easy to please. Although that won’t happen in 2025, if a Bugatti looks like this. Designer Douglas Hogg’s Bugatti Aerolithe concept sounds good, a bit futuristic perhaps, but somewhat of a very weird Bugatti. Although its Batmobile-like looks do greatly help its case, make us like it even.
