Often in science-fiction films can be seen as a screenwriter or director is trying to introduce the viewer to the world of the future, creating a futuristic model of vehicle interior and many other attributes. Particularly interesting it looks, if we pay attention not to the modern cinema, and have a look at the past retro era. A striking example of this could be the movie "Back to the Future 2", where Robert Zemeckis (Robert Zemeckis) showed his vision of what is to reach civilization and technological progress in 2015. Alas, no camozashnurovyvayuschihsya sneakers or hoverboard (flying skateboards) continue to purchase is not possible, even though the calendar already in 2014. A separate topic of discussion is the so-called "car of the future", the submission of which is embodied in the life of not only the big screen, but also as a full-fledged concept.

1. recently organized an exhibition of unusual four-wheel vehicles was able to gather in one place the most incredible and fantastic concept cars from the past. To find the models of vehicles the organizers had to communicate with the owners of rare items throughout the world - from Europe to the United States. Place was designated a museum exposition High Museum of Art in Georgia. Presented copies were never intended for sale (except one) and were designed only to demonstrate the advanced capabilities exclusively for promotional purposes, to qualitatively and his extraordinary approach to stand out from the competition.
First delaying eyes on her concept was "electric egg" - a model of «Electric Egg», collected in 1942. French engineer who was the author of the project, saw the purpose of his creation as a vehicle for personal use to move through the streets of Paris during the Second World War.
2. It is unlikely to be able to leave you indifferent and Firebird XP-21 with a futuristic design raketoobraznym. The concept was embodied in the life of the efforts of engineers from the company General Motors in 1953. Exterior "car" was not chosen by chance and had a hidden subtext, symbolizing his appearance holding start the space race between the two superpowers. The creators of the Firebird XP-21 is so carried away with their chosen subjects from the field samolёto- and rocket, even equipped with the development of the gas turbine. However, this attitude turned out to be commercially impractical, so from its use in the future had to be abandoned.

Wide wings, glass cockpit, which is best suited to be a jet fighter pilot, not the driver of land transport, in combination with sophisticated corporate identity firms from Detroit embodied here in a unified and coordinated tandem.

6. Creation Ford called 40 Special Speedster is slightly deviated from commonly used gross square shapes of the body, acquiring flowing design lines. The car presented in 1934, was equipped with the most innovative technologies and solutions. Later, some of them successful, and has been developed has been applied already in series production.
7. From 30 to 40 years. It was really productive for automotive designers and engineers. Another bright representative of the time, embodies the "rebellious style" and the deviation from the unwritten traditions in the automobile industry, it became C-25 Aerodyne authored by the French aviation pioneer Gabriel Voisin (Gabriel Voisin). Shown at the Paris Exhibition in 1934, he successfully played the role allotted to him, bringing a fresh breath of the French automotive industry, which experienced a period of creative stagnation.
