Brainstorming from Lancia
Lancia on their official website has a section called “Storia & Design” (Story and Design) which also has gallery dedicated to new concept ideas where they put on line sketches and various drawings that they’re working on.
This is their latest sketch a coupe concept car and since it’s still more or less in an embryonic form, we’re keeping our head on our shoulders, because it could just be one of those thousands of ideas that remain only ideas.

Volkswagen may bring the 914 back with BlueSport
When Porsche and Volkswagen started getting too close, some have eagered to see at least one past joint project arise again. It was Porsche 914, a mid-engined compact roadster that was produced in the 1970’s and that was a very nice driving machine. Some have said Volkswagen would present in Detroit a roadster that would eventually become this 914 of the XXI century. If it is really going to be a new compact roadster signed both by Porsche and Volkswagen is something that is yet to be confirmed, but VW really has presented a car that suits that description in Detroit. And its name is BlueSport.
The new compact roadster is 3.99 m long, 1.26 m tall, 1.75 m wide and has a wheelbase of 2.43 m. It is called “blue” because it has a very fuel efficient engine, a four-cylindre 2-litre 180 bhp TDI engine. Its fuel consumption is estimated at 23.3 km/l, but the car is not only about low emissions. It is also very fun to drive. As an example, it can reach 100 km/h, from standstill, in 6.6 s. Top speed is 226 km/h.
BlueSport shares more details with 914, such as being a rear-wheel drive car with its engine in a mid-rear position. All power is guided to the rear wheels with the help of a six-speed automated dual-clutch gearbox, also known as DSG. But it may also be named PDK, the way Porsche decided to call its dual-clutch transmission. Let’s wait to see where BlueSport will end. Hopefully, in streets, roads and a lot of parking spots around the world.

Husmen 699 GTO: from the IED a very nasty ferrari
It’s perhaps a little too riskee to be a Ferrari, but in any case good looking and very aggressive even though it’s not a race car: the European Institute of Design continues to provide new talent as shown by Emre Husmen’s 699GTO.
Based on the Ferrari 599 Fiorano, with obvious style calling to mind the glorious 250 GTO, the car will have a carbon-fibre body, 200kg lighter than the model it derives from. The engine will not have the classic V12 but will be a V8 combined with two compressors: underlining its use of alternative fuel. The designer has not ignored the problem of visibility either, giving his piece a rear camera combined with rubber suspension.
