GOTHENBURG, Sweden — Swedish design house Paulin has rolled out what it calls its "first ride," a sultry look at what the future might hold in five years, complete with scissor doors. The vehicle is dubbed the VR Concept, and Paulin said it heralds "the beginning of a lineup of future vehicles."

Paulin calls itself a "global design agency," and its credentials include creating design proposals for Hyundai, Kia, Tata and MG Rover, among others.

With the VR Concept, "the goal is to inspire and look into what the future might bring," it said on its web site. The VR Concept is noteworthy for its "sculptured surfaces and clean graphics," but critics say it is somewhat derivative.

What this means to you: Summertime auto dreamin' — Swedish style.

Paulin Releases Its Vision for 2012: The VR Concept

Cool looking concept car, the side profile has a hint of retro coolness to it. The way the passanger compartment opens reminds me of the Saab Aero-X concept though.

wow that car is from my home town
didnt know about paulin at all
i like what they done with the wheel arches..

I gotta represent Gothenburg eventhough I know that this car is a mere vision which we will never hear of ever again.

This design very much screams Stingray Corvette to me...which isn't a bad thing.
