    Guest Post: What Cars of Future Will Look Like

    Automotive designs are constantly changing and evolving, the vehicles we drive today will no doubt look totally different to the vehicles we will drive in the future.
    Government regulations will likely have an impact on the way our cars look, not to mention safety features. So, what will they really look like?

    They’ll Get Lighter

    With the demand from customers and the government for safety features, cars have been getting heavier and heavier for years. However, in the last few years, vehicles have been made lighter. It’s likely this will continue, until they are as light as a feather, so to speak. The exterior will be made as functional as possible, while what’s needed for the interior should be reduced as much as possible. For example, seating could be made lighter. Bet you didn’t know the seating was one of the heaviest parts of a car’s interior?
    The only thing that must remain is safety. It’s easy to compromise safety when trying to lighten the load. 
    They’ll Slice Through The Air Like A Knife
    The aerodynamics of cars will no doubt have greatly improved, allowing them to glide through the air like a knife through…well, air. Reducing the drag of a car is a big priority for engineers and designers, much to the delight of consumers. 
    They’ll Save Lives
    Ok, so for them to save lives they’ll actually need to hit you first. BUT they won’t kill you! This is because of a high demand for bigger front ends, designed as a sort of crash mat. There will be a space between the engine and the bonnet, which will absorb the impact and ensure minimum injury. Obviously this won’t mean pedestrians are wondering over the road will nilly, everyone should still take road safety seriously. However, serious accidents will have reduced dramatically in the future. 
    Cool Design 
    It’s predicted that the design of cars will become really out there, much more creative designs with a sporty feel. The sport luxury look is set to become immensely popular too, think similar to the most recent Cadillac, except much more futuristic. The Cadillac compact ATS already has an innovative design, which makes it look like it’s moving fast no matter what speed it’s at. Just think of what’s to come!
    Cars of the future are not only expected to be stylish, but of course functional, and designed with purpose. BMW and Audi are companies that are already experimenting with this. 
    Headlights…A Thing Of The Past?
    Oversized headlights are quite popular in this day and age but it’s something that could be long gone on the cars of the future! Take a look at the Hyundai Sonata, this is a vehicle that took oversized headlights to a whole new level. There are reasons for doing this, some car makers whack on some oversized headlights to give the illusion of a smaller car face. 
    This is something that is expected to get smaller and smaller in the future. Who knows, our future cars could be illuminated in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways. We’ll find out in a few years!

    • Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series P One Edition snapped at the Franschhoek Motor Museum.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
