Geneva Motor Show 2019 Trend report ©Tangerine Ltd. page 2 Contents Insight Insight Insight 01 02 03 Electrifying Platforms Future Vision Colour of Life Insight Insight 04 05 Details Hyper Normal Geneva Motor Show 2019 Trend report ©Tangerine Ltd. page 3 Insight 01 Electrifying Platforms All of the large OEMs showed EV variants for their mainstream models. Mercedes launched their EQC SUV, VW continue to push their GTE hybrids, and BMW premiered the 330e with Xtra-boost. In our view, the OEMs are following the expected route of evolution rather than revolution, by adapting their existing vehicle platforms to accommodate EV drivetrains. While this is a sensible route, it does not capitalise on the packaging benefits that EV can provide, which may mean that the benefits are not obvious enough to consumers to help them decide to make the switch. ^ Babette Wizorek - Additive Addicted Geneva Motor Show 2019 Trend report ©Tangerine Ltd. page 4 Insight 01 Electrifying Platforms Boosted Performance Porsche utilise hybrid drivetrains to further enhance the performance of their Panamera Turbo model. ^ Porsche - Panamera Turbo S Driven Form E-Mobility Audi were showing off the e-tron, which is their BMW Group, Ford Motor Company, Volkswagen vision for the new A5 replacement.

The future of mobility will bring massive disruption for the market as we know it. OEMs are desperately trying to find an ownable element for their future vehicles. ^ Floris Wubben - Pressed Tables Geneva Motor Show 2019 Trend report ©Tangerine Ltd. page 7 Insight Nissan IMQ 02 Future Vision Nissan’s IMQ is a preview for the next generation of crossovers and is rumoured to be the replacement for the Qashqai. < Nissan IMQ 40 year old Panda To celebrate the 40th year of the Fiat Panda, Fiat’s Tech Tata concept car re-imagined what a practical, utilitarian but fun, car could be in EV form.

Instead of trying to hide the contact surfaces, designers have been making a feature of the bumpers by giving them complex ribbing and form. A nice design feature. ^ Fiat Panda Concept Geneva Motor Show 2019 Trend report ©Tangerine Ltd. page 12 Insight 04 Details Everyday Panda The 40th anniversary Panda uses fine horizontal Citroen AMI ONE ribs on the front and the rear of the car would help prevent unsightly marks from low speed nudges.

    Pininfarina in Geneva with the Concept Car Sergio

    PRESS RELEASE Pininfarina in Geneva with the concept car Sergio At the Motor Show world debut for the Sergio, a modern interpretation of the 2-seater barchetta As a tribute to the Senator, the stand is also displaying one of his most beloved masterpieces, the Dino Berlinetta Speciale, 1965 Turin, 5 March 2013 – It is named Sergio, after the man who led Pininfarina for 40 years and conceived some of the greatest car legends. It is the new, amazing concept car created to celebrate the Life Senator Sergio Pininfarina. At its world debut today at the Geneva Motor Show, the Sergio joins the brand that has so marked the history of Pininfarina: Ferrari. Universally known as Master of Italian style, the signature of Sergio Pininfarina left its imprint on the whole history of design with his creative genius, from the age of the great bodyworks to modern industry, often anticipating trends. The concept car dedicated to him renews the spirit of the extraordinary achievements under his leadership, translating it into a modern vision in the name of exclusivity, innovation and passion. The Sergio, in fact, is a two-seater barchetta that looks to the future, very compact, very sporty, racy, pure and sensual. An exercise that Pininfarina decided to undertake on Ferrari 458 Spider mechanicals. Its formal interpretation is absolutely free, in the best tradition of the Pininfarina research which has produced so many Ferrari-based concept cars or unique models now recognised as masterpieces. Its exclusivity and development on the basis of a production car, in fact, sets the Sergio in the tradition of the great Pininfarina custom-made cars specifically designed for "special" clients.

  • The Peugeot HX1 Concept Car Submitted By: Peugeot Tuesday, 18 October 2011

    The Peugeot HX1 Concept Car Submitted By: Peugeot Tuesday, 18 October 2011

    The Peugeot HX1 Concept Car Submitted by: Peugeot Tuesday, 18 October 2011 The HX1 Concept Car gives Peugeot the opportunity to once again illustrate the marque’s ability to reflect on new ideas, learn how to evolve and to continually reinvent itself. The brief for this concept was to produce a vehicle for up to six people, offering strong styling, that is sporty and efficient and at the same time giving a unique driving sensation. To achieve this, the HX1 transcends the notions of adaptability in all areas, with its extreme aerodynamics (‘flaps’ are deployed to optimise aero efficiency according to vehicle speed), its tapered, low MPV (http://www.peugeot.co.uk/vehicles/peugeot-car-range/peugeot-5008/) architecture and its HYbrid4 (http://www.peugeot.co.uk/vehicles/peugeot-car-range/peugeot-3008-hybrid4/) power plant integrating ‘plug-in’ technology. A unique and transformable concept, aiming for maximum efficiency Adaptive The HX1 is a prospective concept designed to help envisage future solutions in numerous fields: architecture, aerodynamics, modularity, equipment, interior materials and the environment, not forgetting, of course, powerplants. These considerations have led to very strong bias that breaks from the norm and guided by a theme: ‘Metamorphosis’, to give the vehicle the capability to adapt itself to its environment, to life’s conditions, driving conditions, etc. and at any time. Architecture To meet specifications, the HX1 has been designed with an MPV architecture with unique dimensions: low (1.373 m) and wide (1.990 m overall) and with a length of 4.954 m. This allows for a volume suited to pure, elegant and sleek lines that delivers a low Cd figure for maximum overall efficiency.

    Null: 2005 Chrysler Brand (Outside North America)

    Contact: Michele Callender Ariel Gavilan Chrysler Heritage (Outside North America) Press kit translations are available in pdf format to the right under "Attached Documents." February 28, 2005, Auburn Hills, Mich. - The year 2004 was a landmark year for the Chrysler brand, with a fantastic display of new vehicles, model improvements and growing quality and technological prowess. In the year that marked the Chrysler brand’s 80th anniversary, the brand introduced seven new or refreshed models to markets outside of North America. Chrysler has repeatedly introduced unconventional vehicles and engineering innovations. Those innovations range from the Chrysler Six, which in 1924 redefined what a passenger car should be, to cab-forward designs and segment- defining MPVs that helped crystallise the brand’s image in the 1990s, to exciting current products like the Chrysler 300C Sedan, Touring and SRT8. The influence of the Chrysler brand’s past upon its future manifests itself in every new Chrysler product. Chrysler Brand Historical Highlights 1924: Walter P. Chrysler introduces the 1924 Chrysler Six — one of the most advanced and exciting cars of its day. The Chrysler Six is a quality light car — power in a small package — something no other brand is offering at the time. The vehicle makes maximum use of a high-speed, high-compression engine with incredible power and small displacement — along with other features such as hydraulic brakes. This becomes the first modern automobile at a very moderate price — a revolutionary concept in its day. 1925-1933: Chrysler broadens the model line to four separate series. Imperial emerges as a top-level luxury/performance car.
