Designed Tan Sohanpall has imagined this vehicle of the future, which seems to be very strange. We are talking about a racing car that only has three wheels, in a quite bizarre configuration. As the designer explains, “the goal of this concept was to create a vehicle that contains both emotions and adrenaline that extreme sports amateurs are looking for”.
Enigma concept is actually a monopost, and the wheels are placed like this: two on one side and one on the other side. The cockpit was thought to drag back at high speeds, giving the pilot a whole new perspective.
The sketches of the new Nissan 370z Convertible registered to the European office of brands have leaked out on the internet.
Scheduled for the Auto Show in New York, this spring, Nissan 370z Convertible won’t be much different from the base model. The only difference is its textile roof, electrically driven, which will bring few more extra kilograms.
And if we basically have the same model, that means the motorization will be assured by the same 3,7 liter V6 which develops 332 HP at 7000 rpm. Regarding its price, Nissan 370z convertible should cost around $30.000.
It exists a vehicle that develops the power of 36 Bugatti Veyron cars. We are talking about a truck propelled by 3 jet plane engines which can run half a mile in only 7,8 seconds.
Developing 36.000 HP and a lot of smoke and fire, this 6 wheels beast participates at the drag races in the US.
Hamann is one of the tuners with big history in modifying BMW models, so, an X6 which passed through their hands is certainly something that attracts attention.
Modifications started from the exterior, where we give you the chance to discover them by taking a look at the photos with this beauty. Regarding the technical part which can’t really be noticed by just looking at some photos, we have to tell you that Hamann worked at the suspension system, lowering the car with 40 mm and installed some Rache Anodized 23″ wheels with 315/25 tires.
About the engine, Hamann is still working at a powerful version of the xDrive50i which can be found on the stock X6 model. This tuning kit is already for sale, so if you are interested and consider you have all the money needed for something like this, don’t hesitate to contact them.
At the Auto Show in Detroit, BYD came with a hybrid capable to compete with models such as Toyota Prius or Honda Insight Hybrid.
One of the most important models the Chinese came with at the Auto Show in Detroit was this BYD F3DM, a hybrid with a 1.0 liter engine which in mixture with the electric engines has a power of 168 HP.
On the other hand, car’s performances are not so bright. We are talking about a maximum speed of only 149 km/h and slow acceleration, it takes 10,5 seconds for reaching 100 km/h. But, BYD F3DM can be proud of it’s ability to run almost 110 km exclusively on batteries. The batteries can be charged at 50% of capacity in just 10 minutes. However, who wants full charge will have to wait 7 hours, not 20 minutes.
Toyota has finally made public the first images of ITS FT-EV Concept which will be presented at the Auto Show in Detroit, 2009. We are talking about an electric car based on the Toyota iQ platform.
It’s easy to see that beside the eco drawings on the body, there aren’t any significant changes. So the “concept” term remains valid only because of the fully electrical propulsion.
However, the interior is different, having many digital screens which keep the driver aware of the energy consumption.
