Future
Cars
Future cars are here again, the sky above is blue
again! Okay, so I'm a little excited about the future cars that
will grace our highways and byways and even skyways one day. While
some future cars may be just a part of science fiction, there are
many that are real in concept or prototype and on the leading edge
of science.
The future car is here, now! At least most of them are. It's
amazing how many future cars exist today, from hydrogen to electric
and biofuel vehicles to even flying cars. It is the intention
of the site to cover all sorts of future cars, from those that
exist today to the ones that are still on the drawing boards.
Of course, no one uses a drawing board today. That is so last year.
Today, future cars are conceived on the computer in great detail.
These future cars are actually concept vehicles, which have yet
to be built. Once built, the future car is considered to be a prototype.
If a future car actually does move from concept to prototype, then
the next step is for it to become a production vehicle. It is
at this point that a future car is no longer considered to be
so since it has arrived as a regular production model that anyone
can buy. These are not the cars, however that will be featured
on this site, unless, that is they happen to make it all the way
from concept to production over the next several years.

The future cars we're concerned with are
the concept and prototype vehicles that may one day make
it to the showrooms, though most will not.

Even though most future cars will not make it into the showrooms,
they are valuable to many since they exhibit the possibilities
for the future.
Design, architecture and powertrain technology in future cars
can be drastically different than anything seen on a typical car
lot. And, this is the way, many fans of concept and prototype
vehicles like it. For instance, there have been a few wild hydrogen
car prototypes that are of interest to future car fans, but are
too expensive an impractical for everyday drivers.
Like science fiction, future cars fulfill a void in today's society.
This kind of automobile gives people the room to dream, invent
and create. There are so few restrictions on the future that one
can let one's mind run wild and dream big when it comes to what
the cars of the future will look like.

Wheels, turbo, electric, hydrogen, nuclear,
wings, cockpit, 360 rotation, crash avoidance, smart communications
with traffic signals - some of the technology is here now
while others is just budding.

This is why future cars are so popular and why we wish to present
a site devoted to the dreamers, inventors, thinkers and creative
types who wish to entertain all the possibilities of what the
future for the automotive industry may hold.
Dream on and someday the future will be now!
