Geneva is one of the world’s great auto shows, if for no other reason than it’s the place where Italy’s organisation houses and coachbuilders -carrozzerie- annually listing out their latest construct cars. This year, Aston Martin previewed the production edition its voluptuous Vanquish (covered elsewhere in this issue). But that wasn’t the only Aston on the show floor. The Aston Martin Twenty Twenty construct from 2001 was designed by Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro of ItalDesign.

The brushed metal highlighting lines which adorn the Aston Martin Twenty Twenty are an example organisation feature. However their overuse (especially around the front) gives the concept an unusual, nearly comical appearance from whatever angles. The grille touch nearly looks same lipstick.

The Twenty Twenty is supercharged by face mounted, uprated version of the 6 litre V12 from the DB7 Vantage, said to produce 500bhp – visible through a grilled fairing on the bonnet. Initially it appears to be a strict 2 seater, although the rear bulkhead can be removed to wage seating for digit children. The rear of the Aston Martin Twenty Twenty (from the doors back) is more attractive with more standpat ingest of bare aluminium. The fleecy top is stored in its own special housing that can be slotted into position between the roll-bar and the windscreen, ‘Targa’ fashion. Notice the strange entranceway hinges – derived from the classic Aston aerofoil vent, are both nonfunctional and functional elements.

Giorgetto Giugiaro and Aston histrion previously co-operated in 1961, when Carrozzeria Bertone worked on the two-seater DB4GT Jet coupe prototype. And same the original ‘Jet’ car, the 2020 is destined to remain unique. Aston histrion are believed to hit thought the 2020 ‘interesting’, but no plans were ever made even for restricted production. As the Twenty Twenty isn’t an authorised Aston histrion design project, don’t look for any sort of production version. What about the name? Simple: It’s the constituent commonly used to describe perfect vision. And the Giugiaros clearly hit good eyes.

In March 2004, I received an e-mail claiming the 2020 was for sale, but I hit been unable to encounter some meaning to this anywhere. But the car was seen for the first time in the UK at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, June 2005.

2009 Japan Mazda Motor Corporation (HIROSHIMA) declared that it has built the prototypal Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE vehicle with Norwegian specifications, developed specifically for participation in HyNor, Norway’s national gas project. The prototypal unit module take part in ceremonies marking the authorised opening of HyNor’s gas stuff stations.

The initial opening ceremony module be held in Oslo on May 11, 2009. The RX-8 Hydrogen RE module then undergo certification to foregather local standards and module be used for maintenance body training. Mazda plans to commence leasing of Norse specification RX-8 Hydrogen RE models in Norway in summer 2009.

Unlike the RX-8 Hydrogen RE currently being leased in Japan, the HyNor-specification Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE is based on the latest European-specification Mazda RX-8 with left-hand intend and a manual transmission.

Mazda united to collaborate with HyNor on the project in Nov 2007 and began validation of the RX-8 Hydrogen RE’s dynamical performance on Norwegian open anchorage in October 2008.

The Audi O concept was designed to fuse a powerful and innovative audio system with a stylish and sporty four-seat hatchback. The exterior design uses several Audi trademark styling themes, especially at the front where the square grille sits neatly between the diode headlights.

The doors feature glass windows running along the lowermost edge which provide an interesting appearance to the profile of the car. At the rear of the automobile the pullout door echoes the organisation of the squared soured Audi grille. The 2008 Audi O concept was designed by Ondrej Jirec, a organisation student from the Slavonic Republic who is beginning studies at the Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California in 2008.

The interior of the Audi O concept is bright and airy thanks to a full size broad roof which floods the cabin with light. Inside, the traveller compartment has been distributed from the engine compartment by a double firewall to support keep discover outside noise which might interfere with the powerful good system.
