Lotus Exige S model

The Lotus Exige, appreciated by purists of the guide for his proverbial agility, builds the trick and Geneva shows aerodynamic improvements that help to increase performance while reducing consumption and pollutant emissions. For the rest, the sport with the effigy of the lotus flower remains true to itself and is preparing to debut on the market in a Model Year 2010 in the month of May. Looking at the front of the car you can see the openings for the inlet from the more generous dimensions and a spoiler that extends across the lower front to divert the air from the front wheels.

In the back is mounted a new wing and larger places with attacks at both ends. This includes the design shown in the Lotus at the Geneva Motor Show in 2007 on the Exige GT3 concept and provides a value of 42 kg of downforce at the speed of 160 km / h.

The aerodynamic improvements, combined with the lightness of the car which, thanks to the aluminum chassis, it weighs considerably less than 1000 kg, allowing consumption to get interesting when compared to the performance of the Exige S: 8.5 liters of gasoline to travel 100 km in combined cycle. In addition, help to reduce CO2 emissions to a value of 199 grams per kilometer. In 2009, the philosophy of Lotus founder Colin Chapman, or to obtain benefits through the light, it shows very current and in line with the spirit that pervades ecologista car.

Ladybird-Tiger Electric Roadster

Ladybird-Tiger Electric Roadster

Cracking 150 mph isn't a big deal these days, but back in 1926 it was enough to make a Sunbeam Tiger called Ladybird the quickest car on the planet. A British design student has paid tribute to that remarkable car by reimagining it as an all-electric roadster.

The concept car envisioned by Ryan Skelly would commemorate the 100th anniversary of the car Henry Seagrave drove to a record-setting 152.33 mph on March 21, 1926. It's purely a styling exercise, but we like what he's done with it.

"From the outset of the project, I wanted to create a successor to a small car from a dormant British car company," Skelly told Wired.com. "It wasn't until my friend pointed out the Tiger that I fell in love with it and restarted my project on the original 1925 vehicle. It's such an amazing little vehicle with so much heritage and a testament to the British motor industry."

The futuristic Tiger designed by the Coventry University student would be as quick as it is cool.

Seagrave made his record-setting run at Southport Beach, England, in a supercharged V-12 Tiger. Skelly updates the drivetrain in Tiger Tribute Concept, envisioning a car capable of 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 160 mph. The 342-horsepower (255 kilowatt) motor would be powered by a lithium titanate battery with a four-hour recharge time and a range of 800 miles.

University of Indonesia has created a fuel-efficient cars

Student, University of Indonesia has created a fuel-efficient cars that use motors engines 110 cc and 125 cc.

Third car is named Equator, Pasopati, and kris. UI student's creation of this car is specially designed to follow the event Shel Eco-Marathon in 2010, which will take place in Malaysia. The third car has a different cc engine, but all three are equally using four-step compression engine. menngunakan Equator car engine from a motorcycle brand Mahator with 125 cc engine capacity., while cars and Kris Pasopati using 110 CC engine.

Of the three cars, the new UI to test against Kris car. This car Naturalife Greenworld maximum speed of 35 kilometers per hour, have traveled 800 to 1000 kilometers with a liter of gasoline spending.

BMW GINA

 
BMW’s cloth-covered GINA concept car

The Gina cloth-covered car is a prototype vehicle from BMW that is covered with fabric rather than metal. Like a living animal, its skin wrinkles a bit when elements are extended (like opening the doors).

The shape of the skin can be altered by the car's owner; it is stretched across flexible metal wires attached to the frame that can be moved with hydraulics.

The fabric itself is a silver expansion-resistant textile that is form-fitted to the car's structure. "The high-precision fit of the material to the metal mesh also allows surface changes without slackening the tension," a spokesman said.

I can't think of a cloth-covered car in science fiction; readers may have a reference. However, I think that sf writers could suggest some improvements on the fabric skin.

BMW 2015 Concept Car

Don’t you just love futuristic car designs? Sure, some may look cool but not quite practical. There are many designers who’d try to come up with something fancy. The guys over at Volkswagen showed us some interesting concepts, but BMW has some more radical concepts in mind. They want their cars to look something like this before 2015.

The designs you see in these images are provided by a group of Transportation Design students at Turin-based IED (Istituto Europeo di Design). They sure have a more aggressive and aerodynamic look than those presented by VW.

Apparently, the BMW prototype doesn’t really fit the 2015 time scheme. We might see a commercial version 50 years maybe, but for 2015 it still looks ahead of its time. DVice infors that it is dubbed BMW ZX-6 Concept and it was designed by Jai Ho Yoo and Lukas Vanek. These guys though of something that would break the speed of sound, I reckon. It looks cool, but I wonder if it has any wheels. It might be using other kinds of propulsion, maybe some levitating pads. Anyway, the concept integrates some sleek curves and shiny materials, make it visually appealing and an instant girl magnet.

It looks far out, but I’d still take it to a tuning center.
