Concept Cars
Why concepts land so far from reality
Concept cars–
We’ve all seen them at auto shows—gleaming, aerodynamic machines with doors that open like wings and interiors that look like spaceships. Most never hit the production line, so why do manufacturers spend millions building them? I have always watched the reveal of a cool car. 2 years later we see a car that looks nothing like it, more like how street cars do today. Everything that hyped me up about it is gone and it looks pretty normal. It’s a common heartbreak: a concept car looks stunning, but the version you can actually buy looks... “normal.” Here is why:
This is not all - they also sell you a dashboard that only screens pure white interior a half steering wheel level 5 self drive and a minimalist interior design. Once it hits the streets you realize that the screens take up to much space and that you used to flick a plastic tab now you have to
Tap settings
Go to Car
And then drag a dot around the screen to get the air out of your face.
And for adjusting your side mirrors its the same thing so your basically playing a high stakes version of fruit ninja at 70 mph just to see if you have a semi- truck in your blind spot. For self drive you have to keep your eyes on the road your foot on the pedal and hands on the wheel. You wonder what the point of self drive is? Your white seats get jeans stains and the steering wheel is hard to use and worst off all the minimalist interior.
They sell you piano black plastic that looks great for 2 minutes before you touch it. At the end of the week it’s a crime scene of dust, fingerprints, and scratches. It’s the ultimate solution to a problem that never existed.
The message: Don’t get hyped up because car companies will change the final product.
For example: The dacia duster a 2009 concept(very good looking concept and advanced design for its time
Then it got toned down to become cost efficient
And became this…
