China Technology Center R&D! Western media exclaimed Buick GL8 flagship concept car "irresistible"

The reference news network reported on December 14 that most of the time, it takes several years to design a sports car or SUV, according to the website of the Spanish newspaper Abessai, and the process begins with drawings with a pencil and ends with adjusting the components and structure of future vehicles in software.

Hundreds of designers from various car brands work on thousands of sketches just to pick out a sketch that will become a new model. Then, aesthetics and creative design also meet the technical requirements. With the help of 3D technology and modeling software, sketches are rendered in 3D. Finally, a corresponding "clay model" needs to be made in order to sense the volume of the new car at its true scale. Here are a few concept cars that are likely to hit the market in the coming years:
