Electric car lovers and green activists need to take note of the Rinspeed Oasis, a self-driving concept car designed by German supplier and drive engineering company ZF and showcased at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Tuesday. The Rinspeed Oasis comes with a garden integrated under the bonnet of the vehicle, making it the 'greenest' concept we've ever seen. The project is the result of a collaboration between ZF, which supplied the car's technological components, and the Swiss automotive industry think tank Rinspeed, which owns the idea around the Rinspeed Oasis. The concept car is not actually planned for manufacture, but was instead designed to inspire the auto industry.
If you're a baby boomer, chances are that you remember those far out times when love and peace were the words on everyone's tonge and the Volkswagen hippie van was the vehicle of choice. Well those days of nostalgia no longer have to be relegated to the distant past - Volkswagen has remade the iconic Type 2 Bus and shown it off at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Monday . It's called BUZZ ID, and it's the first driverless all-electric micro bus that features front and rear wheel drive. ID BUZZ can travel up to 372 miles on a single charge. When the van is running in self-driving mode, the front seats turn around and the steering wheel retracts, creating an interior space for up to eight people. ID BUZZ is expected to hit the market in 2020.
A stunning new concept car called the Isabella was unveiled to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show on Tuesday. Made by lesser known German manufacturer Borgward, the Isabella is a luxurious electric car with four doors that slide out horizontally, meaning that drivers and passengers will never again have to worry about hitting their doors as they step out of the vehicle. Its modern and futuristic interior doesn't contain any buttons or nobs, instead, all the functions of the Isabella are managed from a big touch screen display.
US automaker Chevrolet unveiled their new Camaro, the 2017 Z/28, which premiered at the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday.

Lexus unveiled their new LF-1 model to a packed audience at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan on Monday, boasting a revolutionary 360 degrees on-board camera display view designed to replace car mirrors.

A new Chinese car company called Redspace unveiled the innovative REDS prototype model at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show on Wednesday, designed by former BMW Design Chief Chris Bangle. The cubical-shaped car was designed in particular for the gruelling traffic of Chinese megacities, and comes with a 17-inch screen and rotating seats for those bumper to bumper moments. The strange windshield might not be the most aerodynamic, but it's set to offer an excellent view.
