Concept Cars
To be known in the future you have to think ahead into the future. This is why concept cars have become so popular in the past couple of decades. Not many people succeed in making a successful concept car; which are also known as a prototype. It is a very hard and stressful project that takes a lot of patience. Robert J. Waddell, president of Motor Concept Vehicles of Mississauga, Ontario, took over 6 years and spent over 225 thousand dollars in building his concept car (Morrison 1). The process takes so long because it is not just the body of the car that has to be built, but also everything that goes inside it too. After they build a body they have to design an engine that will fit under the hood, and if they don't like it they have to rebuild the engine or rebuild the body with other measurements. They can make a prototype that uses another type of fuel to keep it running, but to make it street legal it has to be turned into a gas or natural gas powered vehicle. After an engine has been made it has to go through a few hundred-point inspection, meaning it will check for leakage, cracks, noises, rattles and if necessary ev
Schroth, a boulder automotive design house is the company Waddell is going with. This particular company makes seat belts for NASCAR racers. They use a patented webbing technique that no other company has that also minimizes the risk of being injured by your belts in an accident. These specific companies that build concept vehicles do not usually use generic items for their cars, but they do put a car together with non-named products to see what it will really look like. A prototype is usually the same thing as a concept car, but the only difference between the two is that a prototype is a concept car after it has been built. Concept cars such as a hybrid have been made also. A hybrid is a vehicle that runs on both gasoline and electricity that needs to be charged up everyday for use. These particular cars do not have even half the power of a pure gasoline or natural gas vehicle (Video). After a recent survey was taken for the hybrid and the gasoline powered vehicles the gasoline powered one was 89 percent more wanted then the hybrid (Video). 26 June 2001 Morrison, Gale "Racing from the Great White N
