NEW BEE, Autopista-Nissan-UPV 2009 competition

Today I present you my last work, the NEW BEE, that entered to the Autopista-Nissan-UPV 2009 competition, and wich I describe for you in detail below.

The way automotive industry is going nowadays let us predict that in the future there will be only automaton interconected vehicles driving on the roads, in wich humans will move from one point to other in some kind of cubes as they were in the living room. However, the car has been conceived as a transport media that represents independency and emotion, being this last in a clear crisis.

Vehicles are evolving to a net that can give them the way to intercomunicate so they can evaluate better the state of the asphalt, distances between cars, traffic fluency, etc. to the point where there will be possible to know all the points that affect dinamics and driving, getting it to a possible total autonomous way of moving.

The intercomunication technology and great analisis power of computers in vehicles will give us the great formula so all kind of overtakings nowadays we see as imposible or sporty driving maneuvers will be safe as are in a closed track, since all of them will always be supervised and controlled by the vehicle itself, which even could train us.

A vehicle without heavy passive protection systems, light and quick, enjoyable and, above all, safe. Track will be all the world.

NEW BEE is a concept car that benefits itself from the aforementioned passive security systems elimination to get to a new level over everything established before at the automotive design. What is more, based on the use of light and resistant materials like carbon fiber, combined with 3D visualization systems, new shapes that till now were unimaginable can be done.

Its asymmetric design has been only delimited by the interior of the car drop shape that surrounds it, getting as a result a sporty car with bold and innovative lines. A unique surface envelops all the car by all its faces, housing all the sensors and improving the aerodinamics and aesthetics of the vehicle.

Out of every standart the risky and pleasant different design stands.

Out of every standart the emotion stands.

NEW BEE silhouette overflow sportiveness and the appearance of the vehicle stopped is as intense as it is on the move. It has been born to run and it can not hide it… it does not want to.

It’s a rear-drive two-seater powered by two engines, which are housed in the wheels, and has supercapacitors as energy storage. All ready for adrenaline power and awaken the pleasure of speed.
