Based on the M715 Jeep that was for military use. The annual Easter Jeep Safari is on in Moab, Utah and out of the six concepts that Jeep announced earlier, there is one concept that we're swooning over – the Jeep Gladiator M-715 Five-Quarter. This single cab truck concept is based on the military version of the 1968 Jeep Gladiator called the Kaiser Jeep M-715. Aside from its antiquity and bare-bones goodness, what sets this concept apart from the other Gladiator concepts is the engine that resides under its massive hood: a 6.2-Liter supercharged Hemi V8.

Italdesign, Airbus prepping drone-carried flying car concept for Geneva
If the drone can carry the car away, why not just fly everywhere? The famous styling house Italdesign and jetliner maker Airbus are reportedly taking a new stab at imagining the old idea of the flying car, according to Automotive News Europe.

Infiniti QX Inspiration Concept Foretells Brand’s Electric Future [UPDATE]
The company confirms an all-electric, high-performance production SUV. Update: This post has been updated with live images. At the 2019 North American International Auto Show, Infiniti is finally lifting the veil of the QX Inspiration concept which previews a future production all-electric SUV and introduces the brand’s new design language for EVs. At 183 inches (4,650 mm) long, the study is roughly the same size as the new QX50 but features a drastically different design approach with a more balanced, cab-forward overall shape and short overhangs at the back and up front.The lack of a large internal combustion engine has allowed the designers to additionally adapt the proportions of the concept and give it a grille-less fascia with smooth surfaces and an illuminated Infiniti logo. The SUV rides on massive 22-inch wheels on all four corners which are housed within muscular wheel arches clad in black protective panels.
