Of course, "subject to the real thing" also applies to the car circle. Many car companies release some concept cars every year, which look cool, but most of them are disappointing after actual mass production. Today, Faner will take stock with you. What is the difference between concept cars and production cars in different countries?
German brand with the smallest gap between concept car and production car
Germans have always been famous for their rigor, and making cars is no exception. From the concept car stage, they didn't adopt an overly grandiose design, and the mass-produced model was basically the same as the concept car.
Whether it is CSC or AMG. GT？ Concept, concept? Answer? Conceptual models such as cars, you can match production models almost at once.
Besides Mercedes-Benz, Porsche is the same. The round appearance of the old Panamera is actually not very good. Subsequently, Porsche launched the Panamera hybrid concept car at the Paris Motor Show, which lived up to expectations. The concept car design style completely reserved by the second generation Panamera not only upgraded the value of the new car to a higher level.
MissionE and Taycan are also successful cases. Taycan completely retains the futuristic sense of the concept car, making this electric car more recognizable.
An American brand that is unconstrained and unconstrained.
Starting from 195 1, major American automobile brands have launched a series of concept models, and these concept cars all have one feature, which is very cool and looks like a spaceship. Today, American brands still love this unconstrained design.
Take GM as an example. FNR is a concept car designed by Chevrolet in recent years. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a car coming back from the future, because its appearance is really advanced, like a spaceship.
Later, Chevrolet also introduced FNR-X concept car and FNR-CarryAll concept car, which also have a strong sense of science and technology. Reference to the two cars, the physical patrol car and the pioneer car, are basically the continuation of the concept car design, and they are still very competitive from the perspective of face value.
The most exquisite Yamato nation
Why are Japanese car brands schizophrenic? This is because in the design of the concept car, Toyota showed the Japanese conservatism incisively and vividly. However, Lexus, an independent high-end brand, is extremely bold, and the polarization of Japanese car brands in design is very serious.
When 86 was announced to be resurrected, I believe many fans were very excited, and then many FT-86 concept cars designed by Toyota Design Department in Europe were released. Although the whole vehicle design is not very combative, as a small sports car, this design is also very handsome.
Two years later, when Toyota released the production version of GT-86 on 20 1 1, it was still somewhat disappointed. The design of the whole vehicle is conservative, and there is no sharp feeling of the concept car.
The design of Lexus is exaggerated, whether it is a concept car or a production car. Whether it is the concept car such as LF-LC or LF-FC, this radical design has basically been continued after mass production.
Outstanding domestic brands
Although domestic car brands have been learning from other brands in design before, in recent years, Faner feels that the design of domestic cars is enough to compete with joint venture brands. For example, Geely's icon and Lectra almost put the concept car into mass production.
In addition, SAIC Roewe and MG's concept cars Vision-E, Vision-R and E-motion, although the design of these concept cars does not give people a very amazing feeling, this design concept can be regarded as an improvement.
Why is there a huge difference between concept cars and production cars?
The concept car can not only let consumers know the future development trend of the car, but also test the market and show their own strength. Generally, concept cars will adopt the latest technology and design, and the manufacturing cost and technical difficulty will not be considered in the concept car stage, so the concept cars we see are generally cool.
When the concept car is about to be mass-produced, it will take into account the cost and the stability of new technology, so it will be simplified and changed a lot. Although the production car will retain the design of some concept cars, it still has a feeling of "buyer show".
Summary: Automobile design is actually a very profound and complicated knowledge. It is unimaginable for designers to work hard to design a concept car or a production car, so it is not appropriate for Fan Er to comment on the designs of major brands here today.
However, Faner thinks that good design can really impress consumers, but Faner doesn't want a car's selling point to be just its appearance, but more importantly, its comprehensive performance. Finally, which brand design do you prefer? Welcome everyone to leave a message below and discuss with Fan Er.
