What would it be? The design of future vehicle? Let see about it :D
1. Acura FCX 2020 Le Mans
Acura make this car looks like Batmobile but every part is completely recyclable.
2. Audi Dynamic Space Frame
Audi distinguished itself by combining processes and materials that are normally separate. For instance, all of the liquid and electrical channels are inside the car’s frame, and a single material is used for both the inside and outside of the car to make it more reusable. It’s probably the most typecast feminine design, with large curves and de-emphasized wheels.
3. Honda Extreme
The primary differentiating factor for the Honda is that the interior can be adapted to fit different body types. The car body and parts can be recycled after five years.
4. Hummer 02
This Hummer actually creates more oxygen than it burns by using panels of algae that expand, helicopter-like, when the vehicle’s parked. The algae converts carbon dioxide in the air into oxygen. Also, the body of the car itself produces oxygen. I like the color scheme, the rugged look when driven, and the techy look when parked. There was one female designer on the team that submitted this entry.
5. 2015 Kia Sandstorm
The Kia Sandstorm deliberately looks like a dune buggy. The designer, Marc Mainville, sets the last judging criteria firmly in his mind (to reflect a Southern California eco-friendly lifestyle) when he created a spacious trunk designed to hold barbecue equipment and beach toys. The outside panels can be recycled too.

Future Vehicle Design Part 1
Twisting Skyscraper
A company in Dubai in UAE, Dynamic Architecture have this outlandish idea with this skyscraper building. The building is going to be 59 floors. Each of the 59 floors is rotating unevenly around a central concrete core. Wind turbines are stacked horizontally between each floor, so that when exposed to the atmosphere 50 or 100 or 500 feet off the ground, the wind turns the turbines, generating electricity for the buildings’ use—and more.
Each turbine generates 0.3 megawatts of electricity, so that the building’s 50 total turbines can generate 1,200,000 kilowatt-hours of energy per year. As an average family’s annual power
consumption is about 24,000 kilowatt-hours, each turbine can supply energy for about 50 families. The tower will have 200 apartments, which will use just four of the turbines for their energy needs. Another four of the remaining 44 turbines would provide power to the neighborhood of the building, and there would still be 40 extra turbines, which could supply power for 5-10 more buildings.
