Very interesting. Somehow, they remind me of those hideously ugly trainers that tracksuited young gentlemen wear. 2013 RR Evoque Pure Tech

They look like very early concepts, but some nice ideas there. Some looked like they'd work well with an electric motor in the hub - the ultimate hybrid 4x4 drivetrain, each wheel independently driven with magnetic levitation suspension build into the wheel itself. 2020 Range Rover?

Nice CGI

Hankook are Korean, Koreans do not innovate they simply copy things very well, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for it.

They're not really anything new to be honest, I have pages and pages of sketch work with wheel ideas similar to that from when I was at Uni. They were also a relatively minimal part of the project.

Interestingly about the Asian countries copying, during our degree show in 2011, we noticed Asian students taking pictures of everything. A couple of weeks later they were appearing on Asian automotive press websites. Censored you could probably guess we weren't very impressed! Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

The Koreans are very very quick to adapt and change and replicate things, they are very poor at innovation, I'll eat one of Hankooks tyres if they are the first
