Daewoo Musiro
The Daewoo Musiro (Korean for 'Any Time ow) was the penultimate concept vehicle to emerge from Daewoo's UK Worthing Technical Centre product development facility. Launched at the 2000 British Motor Show British International Motor Show the Musiro built on Daewoo's emerging 'Designed Around You' product mantra and was a distillation of the earlier and more advanced 1999 Mirae show car's Versatile Sports Car (VSC) concept. Concept Unlike the Mirae, the Musiro was based on a future Daewoo underbody but still included the kind of reconfigurable interior flexibility features more normally found in MPV's making the Musiro an especially advanced and innovative vehicle. The neat exterior reminded viewers of the Audi TT but the coupe lines disguised an innovative opening roof. The traditional issues of open top cars being less stiff than closed roof cars and folding 'hardtop cars' having little boot space was solved by Worthing's Daewoo designers - the roof panel and rear window articulat ...

Concept Vehicle
A concept car (also known as a concept vehicle, show vehicle or prototype) is a car made to showcase new styling and/or new technology. They are often exhibited at motor shows to gauge customer reaction to new and radical designs which may or may not be mass-produced. General Motors designer Harley Earl is generally credited with inventing the concept car, and did much to popularize it through its traveling Motorama shows of the 1950s. Concept cars never go into production directly. In modern times all would have to undergo many changes before the design is finalized for the sake of practicality, safety, regulatory compliance, and cost. A " production-intent" prototype, as opposed to a concept vehicle, serves this purpose. Design Concept cars are often radical in engine or design. Some use non-traditional, exotic, or expensive materials, ranging from paper to carbon fiber to refined alloys. Others have unique layouts, such as gullwing doors, 3 or 5 (or more) wheels, or speci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Daewoo Mirae
The Daewoo Mirae was a concept car that was unveiled on April 20, 1999, at Daewoo's Seoul design studio 'Design Forum' and then again at the 1999 Seoul Motor Show. "Mirae" in Korean means "future". Designed at Daewoo's UK Worthing Technical Centre, somewhat unusually it premiered in two forms: an exterior model, and a separate interior technology showcase model. Production was hinted to commence in 2010, but with the collapse of Daewoo Group in 2000 and the subsequent General Motors takeover, the concept car appears to be unlikely to be produced in the original form shown. Mirae was a joint funding exercise by the motor manufacturer and the UK Department of Trade and Industry, scheduled to coincide with the Queen's first state visit to Korea. The visit was organized to reinforce financial and technology links between the two countries. Concept Daewoo claimed that the Mirae would be the world's first versatile sports car combining the flexibility to alter seat layouts from 4 se ...

Tom Walkinshaw Racing
Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) was a motor racing team and engineering firm founded in 1976, in Kidlington, near Oxford, England, by touring car racer Tom Walkinshaw. The company initially handled privateer work before entering works touring car racers for manufacturers such as Mazda and Rover. However, TWR became most closely associated with Jaguar, a relationship which started in 1982 with the successful entry of the Jaguar XJS into the European Touring Car Championship, chalking up a number of wins that year. The relationship continued and by 1988, TWR-Jaguar had taken its first Le Mans victory in a V12-powered XJR-9. Further success followed with a Le Mans win in 1990. TWR and Jaguar formed JaguarSport initially to build tuned versions of Jaguar road-cars, culminating in the production of the XJ220 and XJR-15 sports cars at a new facility at Bloxham.
