15 Of The Most Beautifully Bizarre Concept Cars Released In 2016

.

It's easy to get kinda bored with all the cars you see around you on a daily basis. The same designs, the same sounds, the same everything. Concept cars provide a very useful, fun and exciting distraction from that. They're like a little glimpse into the future, a future where Star Wars and Tron and Total Recall have all merged into one sweet orgy of automobile euphoria. To that end, here are some of the craziest concept cars of 2016. Check it out!

1. The Faraday Future FFZERO1

A Batmobile-like vehicle with seats at a 45-degree angle and a steering wheel straight out of a race car. Pretty whack!

This concept car is a pleasure to set eyes on, though it also has some crazy extras spicing it up. Apart from one of those remarkably confusing steering wheels, it's also got cameras instead of rear-view mirrors!

6. The Toyota Setsuna

This work of automobile art is a roadster made almost entirely of wood using traditional Japanese carpentry techniques that don't involve nails or screws. Basically it looks amazing, but isn't street legal since it's made of wood. What a beaut!

7. The Renault Trezor

Renault unveiled this electric concept car at the Paris Motor Show. It has a sliding roof instead of doors (!) and hexagonal vents on the hood that move up and down. It also looks fucking sweet!

13. The United Nude Lo Res Car

I don't even know how this 'car' really works, but it looks like an evil starship from the 80s. It's made up of triangulated plates and has electric actuators that lift the entire body of the car up.

15. The Mercedes Generation EQ 

This car features a sleek, simple exterior, and by that I mean it literally has no door handles or rear-view mirrors. It's that smooth. It looks pretty bangin' and the hood even folds back!
