A 4x4 concept car from 4x4 manufacturers can give you an idea about the future development of the eventual production vehicle. I try to keep up with new concept 4x4 vehicles and give you an idea about the potential in the design as it relates to off-road capability.
Land Rover DC100 Concept
I told myself I wouldn't get caught up in this debate regarding Land Rover's latest concept car, shown at the Frankfurt Auto Show. However, it seems I can't avoid this. Everywhere I look, the DC 100 prompts a number of different reactions. So what is it with it? Is it good? Is it bad? Is it the future? Ford Super Chief Concept
The Ford F-250 Super Chief concept takes truck leadership to a new level - as the world's first vehicle with Tri-Flex fueling, enabling the supercharged V-10 to run for 500 miles between fill-ups on hydrogen, E85 ethanol or gasoline. Fiat Hummer Concept
Fiat Hummer Concept that they name "Oltre Fiat" was premiered in Bologna Motor Show this winter. The Fiat Hummer is an interesting concept. It is based on a military vehicle so it has little luxury. Jeep Hurricane - Concept
"Jeep Hurricane is simply the most maneuverable, most capable and most powerful 4x4 ever built," said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President - Chrysler Group Design. Oshkosh Hybrid Truck The HEMTT A3
Oshkosh have produced an impressive Hybrid 8x8 Truck. The technology used is a precursor for what to expect in commercial heavy truck applications.

As the development of new 4x4's has been in the direction of more comfort and civilization a revisit from the rugged past comes as a fresh breeze. Jeep Rescue - Search and Rescue
The Jeep Rescue is clearly a response from Jeep to the success of Hummer and the newer H2.
I am of course as always open to new suggestions for articles about new concept vehicles or other new technological design solutions that could be of interest to our readers.
If you have a suggestion for a review about a new concept car I would be glad if you contacted me or even submitted your own 4x4 concept car article for this site.
