Nokia Lumia 8 aka Nokia L8 is a concept Windows Phone 8 device created by Saeid Khajevand and pictured below. He imagined a handset that runs WP8, has a 41 megapixel PureView camera, what looks like a potent speaker at the front bottom and pretty much the same design as current hot Lumias.
You can see that the upper side is a bit more sloped than what we have right now and the device is a bit less rounded. All the major buttons are on one side, the right side, including On/Off, volume and camera, while the camera mechanism at the back seems way too compact to offer PureView 41 MP action. What’s more interesting is that Windows Phone 8 silver logo that extends from the back and acts like a kickstand, a cool one actually. Also it seems that we’ve got the microUSB port at the bottom, together with yet another speaker, divided into smaller pieces.
What I want from a futuristic Lumia phone is first of all to get rid of all that bulkiness and weight. As you probably know already, the Nokia Lumia 820 and 920 are quite thick and heavy, actually much thicker than current Android hotshots, for example. While Nokia may justify that through big batteries and camera sensors, the future will make even those thinner, so maybe the next Lumia flagship will go below 9 mm or even 8 mm this time, something that HTC and Motorola have been doing for a while now… Do you fancy the Nokia L8?

The Ferrari World Design Contest 2011 was an initiative meant to gather designs of Ferrari vehicles from all over the world, for the sake of diversity. Well, this happened and included design students from over 50 schools all over, but in the end the winner was the Ferrari Eternity or Eternita concept, created by South Korea students.

Kim Cheong Ju, Ahn Dre and Lee Sahngseok from Hongik University took the prize, revealing a beautiful hybrid electric sports car. Eternity has a body made totally out of carbon fiber, for the sake of lower weight and also on top there’s a lithium coating for extra engine power. The fuel of choice is hydrogen for this supercar, relying on the system “Fly-Wheel Energy Storage”.

Friction reduction and smooth driving is achieved to the Maglev system and this may certainly be the future. Of course, fans of the traditional and classic Ferrari design will say that they don’t like this concept one bit, but it’s time to evolve, don’t you think?

The Mercedes Biome concept started off as an idea in the 2010 Design Challenge organized by LA Auto Show. They required the participants to create a vehicle that weighs under 1,000 lbs and that is still able to carry 4 people. This Mercedes car is very futuristic, especially since the main idea behind is that the vehicle grows from a seed.

Biome relies on symbiosis, that makes it part of the ecosystem and the car collects energy from the sun. The Mercedes concept is based on nature and biotechnology, plus interaction with Mother Earth. It acts like one of trees and laves and it even collects energy from forests. This is a completely biodegradable car and its wheels are grown from 4 separate seeds.

Also, the parts of the vehicle are genetically engineered and the exterior grows from the Mercedes symbol star on the rear. Meanwhile, the interior of the car grows from the star on the front… What’s really cool is that this sci-fi ride generates oxygen after using up the “BioNectar” it relies on for fuel. All I can say is… am I dreaming?

Can you imagine a Formula 1 Lamborghini car that can also compete at Le Mans? Well, such a design was created by Sabino Leerentveld and you can see the concept Lamborghini below. This car weighs 700 kg and packs an incredible 1,200 horsepower.

The vehicle borrows design traits from the top class racing segments. Lamborghini LMP-F has a front side and lateral air intakes that look a lot like those used in Formula 1, while the rear side of the supercar is classic Le Mans race car design. The specifications of this model are imagined ones: 22,000 rpm engine, 0-60 mph in 1.8 seconds and top speed of 263 mph.

Also, this Lambo prototype has a low downforce aerodynamic setup and the designer admits that his creations belong in the gaming world for now and not on the track. What do you say?

BMW i8 is one of the latest concepts of the German car maker, that brings forth a 220 horsepower 3 cylinder engine and an electric drive system, borrowed from the BMW i3 and tweaked a bit. This vehicle reaches 100 km/h in under 5 seconds, impressive for the segment it belongs to.

This car will use 3 litres of fuel to run 100 kilometers and another important power source is the big Li-Ion battery. You can charge that from your house supply and give it 35 kilometers of autonomy on electric power alone. Inside, we discover a 2+2 interior, comfortable enough for a family of 4. The BMW i8 uses the LifeDrive architecture, giving it a more sporty twist.

Thus, we find the electric motor in the front axle module, while the combustion engine stays at the rear. These sections are connected through BMW’s trademark energy tunnel, that other car makers would call transmission tunnel. The i8 has a low center of gravity and distribution of 50/50, which is perfect for this hybrid-supercar concept.
