Mazda Nagare remember appeared in the Los Angeles Auto Show 2006? Seeing the concepts, like the concept of Hyundai i-Flow is to imitate the concept of “flow” Nagare offered at this time. Fake or real inspired by legitimate as long as the results may be better than products that suit. Fortunately that’s exactly what happened in the concept Hyundai i-flow. at least proportionally, i-Flow is more interesting than Nagare.

Curves and lines that collide is the basic concept Concept Hyundai i-flow. From the entrance to the rear line of the I-Flow is filled with the emphasis firmly attached to the curved shapes that are profitable from the side of the hedge. The design is a matter of taste, but can not be denied if the i-Flow is really nice, especially if you include people like to do something that sounds futuristic.

Front view of I-Flow is inevitably dominated by the large grill that appears to be the mark of a hexagonal Hyundai. With the cone-shaped headlights and fenders bulge upward like a canine form, complete the look was fierce i-cons flow. complete concept of the arc was maintained until the stern is approximately equal to the front. Not only that, the body was decorated with a zero on one side to give a strong overlap, the special emphasis to this concept car.

Interestingly, the roof is made from layers of semi-transparent solar cells that can absorb and convert sunlight into electricity. In fact, Hyundai has a clear intention of the design of design flow not only to mark and i deliver Mazda Nagare concept. The reason is the coefficient of drag. With this revolutionary design, the i-flow could reach the value of the coefficient of drag of just 0.25.

Not without reason is also the roof of the car is made by coating of the solar cell, because of this i-Flow is designed as an alias transport environmentally friendly hybrid car. Under the hood is fixed speed-i four-cylinder turbo diesel with a capacity of 1.700cc with the support of the installation of lithium polymer batteries. In addition to the concept car using a box six-speed dual clutch, Hyundai seems to have stopped the flow-i specifications.

Not only with the roof of the hybrid car and use a robot as “solar energy, I-Flow also offers a variety of Information Technology which can save fuel and reduce greenhouse gas exhaust. First, Hyundai is working with BASF to develop the concept of maintaining the temperature of the car remains optimal (above 40 º C for 14 hours. This ability of i-Flow is claimed could save fuel up to 9%. Also, Hyundai and BASF also install the technology that converts heat from exhaust into electricity. (KPL / rock)
