Audi Avatar, Electric Supercar of the Year 2032

The Audi Avatar supercar concept is the wet dream of the computer generation, a design created by Edwin Conan (Yi Yuan) and a pretty nifty electric vehicle. Supposedly, this is the supercar of the year 2032, packing a very light and aerodynamic body and being able to go from 0 to 100 km/h in only 2.9 seconds.

The maximum speed of the Audi Avatar is 360 km/h and you should also know that this futuristic road racer comes with three bucket seats. What does this concept rely on? Well, it uses a “long range supercharge-ion battery”, that drives four in-wheel electric motors.
We’re wondering if this car is able to stay on the road at its max speed and not take off, but we guess that some aerodynamic feats stop it from flying against the driver’s will.

14 Incredible Motorcycle Concepts

Swordfish Motorcycle Concept

The Swordfish Motorcycle concept by Alexander Kotlyarevsky sports an aggressive futuristic design and hubless wheels. The overall look has interesting mix between curves and sharp angles that earn this bike its name.

Icare Bike Motorcycle Concept

If we had access to all the possible concept designs for Batman’s motorcycle the Icare Bike Concept would certainly be on the list. We could just imagine the Dark Knight leaning into a tight turn on this sleek black bike. Icare isn’t just a cool concept, but a real working design. It’s powered by a six-cylinder 1.8 liter Honda engine with dual exhaust. Right now it’s still up in the air whether or not it will go into production, but keep you fingers crossed.

Ferrari Motorcycle Concept

You may notice the presence of those cool looking hand controls… Well, they’re inspired by the “throttle quadrant of a F16 jet fighter”.
The above-mentioned PC helps control the suspensions of the vehicle, the driving mode and the tech stuff doesn’t end here, as this Ferrari bike’s got an anti theft device incorporated plus radio and GPS. On the motorcycle’s display you’ll be able to monitor all liquids and temperatures, so you’ll keep it safe, while keeping it sci-fi and cool.

Mach Ness Motorcycle Concept

Motorcycle manufacturer Arlen Ness crafted this metal monster powered by a gas-turbine helicopter engine. The aluminum outer shell with noticeably large rivets gives it a sort of steam punk edge that you just won’t get from carbon fiber and plastic. The body has been shaped entirely by hand, which lends to why it’s not being mass produced.

Rae Motorbike Concept

The Rae concept motorbike has been designed especially for young riders. This is a next-generation concept, which helps the riders to create their own style on the bike and position with great customizability. The concept has different customizable attributes.

Ghost Motorcycle Concept

The Ghost Motorcycle concept puts the rider in an aggressive forward position that feels incredibly fast. The design draws its inspiration from the speed demon Ghost Rider as well as a flying falcon.

Speed Racer Alien Motorcycle Concept

The folks over at Gizmodo kindly pointed out that the “Speed Racer” motorcycle concept by Dan Bailey looks like something that came out of the Aliens movies, and we have to agree. Based around the Kawasaki Ninja the bike has some solid foundations, but was designed to look intimidating yet sleek. There’s no word as to whether or not it will see production, but considering how bad ass it looks we hope it does.

Magic Tricycle Motorcycle Concept

The Magic Tricycle sounds like something your four year old daughter might drive in the back yard, but it’s actually an amazingly clever transforming motorcycle. When you’d rather be in a car, say on the highway for instance, it lies on its side and uses 3 wheels as sort of a car. But when you just want pure speed its stands upright with the third wheel on top, which supposedly helps keep it balanced.

nUCLEUS Motorcycle Concept

The nUCLEUS takes everything you think you know about motorcycle design and turns it on its side. Truly unlike any other bike design out there NONOBJECT designed this bike to stand on its own in terms of design rather than take inspiration from every other bike concept out there. When not in use the motorcycle looks like a weird box, but when in motion the wheels extend and the saddle rises, showing off its function.

ENERGYA Motorcycle Concept

As most will say , technically anything with 3 wheels or less qualifies as a motorcycle then technically the ENERGYA Motorcycle fits the bill. With two wheels in the front and two full seats it almost looks like a racecar, but it only has one rear wheel. The designer Higgins-Aubé actually calls it a “motomobile” since it’s sort of a car/motorcycle hybrid.

Dodge Tomahawk Motorcycle Concept

The Dodge Tomahawk Motorcycle may be the only motorcycle listed here that technically isn’t actually a motorcycle. Based on a Viper V-10 bike, it’s got a beefy 500 horsepower engine and 4 wheels. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration anything with more than 3 wheels on the ground doesn’t qualify as a motorcycle. That probably has something to do with why this beast of a bike never made it into mass production. Shame because this awesome machine is basically just an engine and some wheels that provide raw speed and power between your legs.

Scarab Motorcycle Concept

While the Scarab sounds like a bike you’d likely drive around in the desert it’s actually designed with urban situations in mind. The bike can adapt to sit completely upright while parked so it takes up as little space as possible in a crowded city parking lot. In fact you and 3 of your friends using scarabs can fit your motorcycles in a standard sized space for a car. Designer David Miguel Moreira Gonçalves envisions the Scarab to be used as a rental vehicle as a convenient and eco-friendly transpiration solution.

Jaguar M-Cycle Motorcycle Concept

The Jaguar concept by M-Cycles draws inspiration from the Jaguar car manufacturer logo. The bike measures 8 feet in length and features ebony lacquered fiberglass over stainless steel.

Halbo Future Duo-Wheel BMW Motorcycle Concept

If you’re looking for an incredibly small and fast motorcycle and could care less about your personal safety then we’ve got a bike for you. Designer Pierre Yohanes designed the Halbo for eco-minded people who want something compact and electric powered. The front wheel is stationary and the back tail turns, so it’s kind of like riding a motorboat.

Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos-Dual SIM QWERTY Android Phone

Samsung unveiled new Dual SIM version of its much successful entry level Android Smart Phone Samsung Galaxy Y,the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos.

The Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos is a QWERTY keypad style smart phone with  2.6″ capacitive touch display.The Phone features GSM+GSM network support with dual standby.

Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and has 3G and WiFi Connectivity Support.

Hers is an overview of the Specs of Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos :

Display:

Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos features a 2.6″ capacitive touch screen display with 256k colors and 400 x 240 pixels.Although the resolution is quite generous for the display size the 256K colors is quite disappointing as colors looks washed out on the display.A 16M color display would have been more appropriate.

Processor:

The processor is yet unknown but we are expecting it to have the same processor that is in the Samsung Galaxy Y viz a 832 Mhz one.

Memory:

384 MB of RAM and 512 MB of ROM is given.The external memory is expandable upto 32 GB and you would get a 2 GB microSD card out of the box.

The 384 MB of ram is adequate and given with an 832 Mhz processor the device should perform lag free whine using phones inbuilt functionality and most of the apps  however for resource savy apps and games the phone would deliver a bit of an unpleasant experience.

Form Factor:

The phone is in a regular bar shape and dimensionally measure 110.8 x 63.5 x 11.9 mm and weigh 112 gms.With those dimensions and weight the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos is a great device to hold to.

Camera :

We have a 3.15 MP camera in the rear and a VGA camera in the front for your video calling needs.Like most of the cameras from Samsung,the 3.15 MP does a great job on its level.

Video recording can also be done but only upto QVGA resolutions @24 FPS.

Connectivity:

The Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos has WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and 3G HSDPA 7.2 MPBS support.The mobile has USB 2.0 slot and Bluetooth v3.0 as usual.

Sensors :

The Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos has Accelerometer, proximity sensor and a compass.

Battery :

A decent 1350 mAh battery is provided which gives upto 4.5 hrs (2G) and 3 hrs (3G) talktime  and upto 3 days of standby in practical world.

Other Features:

The mobile supports A-GPS and WiFi hotspot.

Price :

The Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos would be priced around 9000 INR.

Verdict :

The Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos is a decent Dual SIM Android Smart Phone with dual standby feature and a really nice QWERTY keypad with comfortable oval shaped buttons.On the downside the display is still a 256K one and colors look pretty washed out but when it comes to narrowing down a good Android smart phone with Dual Sim and QWERTY pad for texting enthusiasts you cannot go wrong with Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos.
