There is a large market for replacement handbrake covers, especially among young drivers who wish to customize their vehicles. BrakeLok is a handbrake cover which also offers a security solution, whereby the brake cannot be released without the removable button. Once fitted the user simply removes the button from the end of the cover when parked, and the system locks all linear movement, preventing the original button from being able to be pushed.

These are Electronic Sensors that are a part of the tire and provide information to the Vehicle Information System in order to improve alignment problems. This works by the CPU, which is located within the rim. These sensor’s feeds detected information to the CPU, and then to the Vehicle Information System. This enables the Tweel ribs to flex through Wireless Technology. When flex occurs, the tire stays at a level pressure through down force on the inside wall of the tire by the ribs.

British artist Benedict Radcliffe created this amazing, full-scale sculpture of a Subaru Impreza. It looks like a computer model overlayed on a street photo, but it’s real, complete with Yokohama wire frame tires. Apparently local traffic cops weren’t pleased that the art was parked outside of the gallery on the street, as over the course of a few days, it was issued a few parking tickets!

Xpress is a way to communicate with the person in the car behind you when you are in the new Fiat 500. It is a new language for communication on the road that is fun and silent (no honking), that allows you to thank someone when they yield to you, respond with character when the truck behind you honks at you, leave a love message after making a careless move, say goodbye to the people behind you, etc.
Designer: Bernardo Balleste

Lime is for everyone. Designed specifically for the non-cyclist, or the 65% of Americans who currently don’t own or ride a bike. It’s simple, fun and inviting, welcoming you with a well-designed classic look and a natural heads-up riding position. Auto shifting lets you ride at your own speed. When you go faster, the bike upshifts smoothly to the next two gears. When you slow down the bike automatically downshifts, very much like the automatic shifting of your car.
Life on film. Art no longer exists only in galleries and museums; it is, as it should be, part of life. Performance, music, fashion, architecture, photography and filmmaking are becoming integral to our lives in new ways. With the fragmentation and accessibility of technology and skills, an increasingly media literate population has the ability to take control, consume, manipulate, create and broadcast. The Fiat 500 should create new opportunities, possibilities and situations for Art to happen.

The concept tries to capture essence of the new Fiat 500, epitomising what it is all about. It’s a beautiful reflection (literally) from a different era an era full of life, memories and positive expectations. The subtle message is hidden in a special paint or multiple layers of lacquer, so that when light strikes the car in certain ways, it suddenly takes one down memory lane: The car reflects imagery communicating innocent lust for life, positiveness, belief in the future and plain fun.
