Honda Concept S

 The Honda Concept S is a production-oriented family vehicle with a one-box design and a hybrid powertrain. It will be launched globally within next year.

Like the Concept C, the Concept S has been developed with a particular attention for the Chinese market, where it will be first launched, but it will be later sold also as a global model.

The design features a one-box layout, with a flowing silhouette, a long wheelbase and a short front end, which underline the generous dimensions of the cabin.

 The focus on the interior is also expressed by the low beltline which enhances passengers’ visibility and the cabin luminosity.

 

Concept-like elements include the distinctive wheels, with an intricate design, the sleek side view cameras and the lower fascia which spans the entire body and integrates the diamond-shaped lighting groups at the front and at the rear.

According to Honda, the “S” stands for “Stylish,” “Smart” and “Surprise.”

 The Concept S has been unveiled at the Beijing Show along with the Concept C and the NSX Concept, already seen at the past Detroit and Geneva Shows.

Lamborghini Urus Concept: first images

The first renderings of the Urus Concept, the high performance SUV that will be unveiled by Lamborghini at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show.

We report the first low resolution renderings of the Urus, the new SUV Concept set to debut as a static model at the upcoming Beijing Show.

The design study has an aesthetic language similar to the latest creations of the company, with aggressive, angular shapes and sharp lines.

 The dimensions are generous (4.99 x 1.99 x 1.66 meters), and the proortions are close to those of the BMW X6, compared to which the Urus is 11 cm longer, 1 cm wider and 4 cm lower.

The exterior features distinctively sloped shoulder line, complemented by a descending roofline, while the stance is enhanced by the muscular rear shoulders and the 24-inch wheels.

 

The adoption of the current design language – already expressed with the Estoque and the Aventador, is evident in many details, including the color scheme, the carbon-fiber details, the Y-shaped headlights and the angular front air openings.

Active aerodynamics elements include an adjustable front spoiler, a variable ride height system and an adaptive rear wing.

The interior features four individual seats, a carbon-fiber trimmed dashboard and a touch screen on the center console.

The name Urus refers to the ancestor of domestic cattle. According to the first information, the car is planned to be produced in approx. 3,000 units per year.
