Iran is kinda like the Italy of the Middle East! Both countries have great history and people are also very alike in being overly traditional and fond of spicy food. Now they have found another common ground and it’s, weirdly, car design! And by that I don’t mean they are going to cause any trouble to PininFarina or Zagato, but looking at some of these proposals presented at an exhibition called “From Dream To Reality” in Tehran, they are of high quality.

Most of the designs, the best of which you see here, are amazing computerized renderings which show the skill and imagination of their designers. The same cannot be said about the way they have named them though – not with names Iman Scarface!! But as for the raw ideas, they’re pretty good. Still, we can’t see anything here with commercial value, something that could someday make its way to production. Most of the designs are facelifts of models that already exist. And it’s understandable, what with it being the boys first try to play in a field they’ve never been on.

It seems that Iranians are really putting their car industry into high gear. In th last six months they’ve introduced two new domestic-made models and now they are backing events like this. It sounds promising.
