Qoros

Koenigsegg is one of the most hyper of hypercar makers in the world. Their cars from the like the Agera and Regera use some awesome engine technology to make big power, while keeping weight down. According to CarBuzz, Koenigsegg sister company FreeValve is partnering with a Chinese automaker called Qoros to produce an engine that sounds too good to be true.

Russian Sergey Kon’kov, a graduate student at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, decided to design the ultimate off-road vehicle for his graduate thesis project and the result is the Qoros 8. The design isn’t as outrageous as some of the off-road custom vehicles we’ve seen in the past, but one of the goals was that the vehicle would be production ready.

The 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show will feature not just production vehicles and manufacturers’ concept cars but will also showcase a design challenge, as the show does each year. The theme for the 2014 Design Challenge is “Sensing the Future.”
