Splash Car – When Fantasy Becomes Reality

I am really impressed with the latest work of Swiss engineers. Just have a look at this beauty, to tell the truth, this car is everything you can dream of. The Splash car is a one-of-a-kind amphibious flying machine.

The car looks everything but boring and its functional possibilities drive me crazy. The frog-like concept car, called “Splash”, can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour above water.

“Splash” was designed by the Zurich-based firm, Rinspeed.

Who wouldn’t like to drive and own Porshe? Frankly speaking, I can’t think of a single person. Such a car is always cool, amazing and bloody speed one.

The new Porsche is something to admire with. The new 918 Spyder concept is powered by both a 500-horsepower V8 and a pair of electric motors.

According to the manufacturers, the car can reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, a top-end speed of 198 mph.

Cool!

BMW 7-Series Active Hybrid Revealed

A couple of days ago BMW have officially revealed their new 7-Series ActiveHybrid. The car was released a bit prior to the Frankfurt Motor Show and it is already scheduled to go on sale in the USA next spring. There is the only one word coming to my mind when I see the new 7-Series Hybrid – luxury, the care is all things luxury and amazing performance. It looks amazing and really mind-blowing. The car comes in the premium luxury class.

The car is incredibly powerful mainly because is offers a modified version of BMW’s 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, the car comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and it easily accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds.

Apart from a powerful engine, BMW comes with an automatic stop/start system that avoids engine idling when the car is stopped. The vehicle can successfully operates on the lithium-ion battery.

Love this car, everything about it screams – AMAZING!

Hurray, finally the cool and super XR3 is back. However, this amazing thing comes in a new form and appearance. Now it is a three-wheeled plug-in hybrid and this device is capable of achieving 125 mpg on diesel power alone, and if you managed to drive it on combined diesel and electric power, you can get up to 225 mpg.

Tow passengers can easily stay in this three-wheeled hybrid. The car (if it is possible to name this hybrid a car) is very lightweight – it weighs not more than 1480 pounds. But it doesn’t influence either his maneuverability or fast acceleration. The hybrid comes with the li-ion battery pack is good for 40 miles.

As to me this vehicle has personality and character and it looks really incredible. I would like to drive it ))) And you?

Black Hybrid Gumpert Apollo at Geneva Motor Show 2008

I am extremely glad to share with you photos of a brand new electric-petrol hybrid race car that will participate in the next 24 Hours Nurnburgring (24-25 May 2008). This race car is a cool variation of the Gumpert Apollo. The car will be piloted by Heinz-Harald Frentzen (the former Formula 1 driver).

The Apollo is a hybrid that operates on both a 3.3 liter V8 bi-turbo engine and an 100 kW electric motor. Everything is thoroughly thought-over, the electric motor will be recharging while the car brakes.

This unusual car caught my eye, it is so bright and attractive, the design is a bit awkward but still promising. What a car, a real monster, have you ever seen a racing car that nice?
