This pretty Nano is about 10 feet long, 5 feet wide, a little more than 5 feet tall. Tata says the car’s got a 623 cc 2-cylinder engine, no power steering no radio and only one windshield wiper. Tata says it produces 30 to 35 horsepower. That’s less than all but the smallest motorcycles. And the New York Times, in an excellent story looking at just how Tata built a $2,500 car (answer - eliminate everything that isn’t absolutely necessary to make it accelerate, turn or stop). Awesome car!
“Tata’s been ginning up hype for the Nano for more than a year, promising that it would motorize India’s masses - hence its nickname, “The People’s Car” - and there’s been no end of rumors, leaks and speculation about it in recent months.”
The Roadster sells currently in England equivalent to $16,400. It is built symmetrical so meaning it can drive backwards at its top speed. Obviously no doors and roof. One nice toy car for the adults to go around in. Just be careful not to leave it out in the bloody sun or it will melt.
“The Zest has a 500cc engine with a top speed of 60mph, weighs just 370kg, and is quite economical as its tiny engine averages 66 miles to the gallon - double a normal car.”
Building yet another high performance Audi, MTM guys installed a turbocharger system to the existing R8 4.2 liter V8 with a total power of 888 bhp and 610 lb-ft torque. Your’s only for 280,000 euros. Convert this my friends and its alot of dough.
“0-60 mph can be achieved in 3.0 seconds flat, and top speed is limited to 223 mph.”
The Volksvegen Viseo is a three-seater electric vehicle. The rear compartment of the car can be detached and doubles as a suitcase.I think VW needs to start packing and drive off with a new idea.
“The project was created considering the visual and conceptional influence of internationally renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. Kirsch created a vehicle that enables a higher level of comfort whilst enhancing the driving experience and promoting ecological values. The target was to create a visionary concept car, shaped and based on the Calatravian motto of “dynamic balance” through the use of new technologies.”
This baby comes equipped with a 3.8L V6 turbo four-cylinder engine, 20 inch aluminum 5 spoke polish deep dish rims, and black carbon fiber all over the car. Genesis will be in market of 09′. Click below to view pics and video.
“Bright orange paint and vented carbon fiber hood pop. Dropping beltline behind doors is a signature design feature, helps rear passenger see out. Carbon fiber-tipped spoiler sits out back while the front is capped by a carbon fiber fascia.”
These city cars will be use for the general public to solve the “last mile” problem. They come with a rechargeable linthium-ion battery and have the feature of turning 360 degrees to park sideways easier. I’m pretty sure the bums will take advantage of joy riding on this public city cars.
“The idea is to have a network of these small, electric cars stacked outside mass transit systems so commuters can grab them as needed.”
“They can either drop it off at the vehicle stack at their destination, if there happens to be one, or returned to their original stack, where the vehicle will be recharged and wait for the next person to take it.”
This baby has the design and sound of a stealth air bomber. The features of this car is so tight i wish it could be a daily personal car with an option to fly.
“The Reventon’s carbon fiber bodywork is all-new and aeronautically inspired. That explains the pointed beak up front that’s flanked by a pair of gaping intakes that swallow air in gulps to cool the brakes.”
“The super-limited (only twenty cars are being built) supercar costs a cool $1,000,000, and all of them are already sold. Power from its V12 is up around 20 horses over the regular Murcielago LP640, so you get a little extra juice for the added dough.”
