For the love of cars

As a car lover, I just have to start a page on my blog 
on all the interesting things about cars. 

Enjoy !!!

For a start, here are some videos from Youtube on the making of an engineering marvel -

The making of Bugatti Veyron 
(Nat Geo Documentary)

Part 1 of 3 (15 mins)

Part 2 of 3 (15 mins)

Part 3 of 3 (15 mins)

The making of Nissan GT-R 
The 'budget' Supercar

(47 mins)

Super 'Bus'
Well, this is part bus part car, so I presume that it will be appropriate here as well. 
It is actually a futuristic kind of customized public transport.

Unusual Promotion

Top Gear Stunt Team 
Managed to do a double loop (Deadly 720)

World smallest production car
Peel P50

(9 mins)

Interesting Concept: Suzuki Pixy and SSC
Pixy is a personal vehicle that travels at very low speed (6kmh) while the 
Suzuki Sharing Coach (SSC) carries the Pixys and travel at high speed (up to 100kmh)

EcoMobile - Air-con Motorcycle

Presented by Jeremy Clarkson
This is not a car technically, but nevertheless very interesting concept. We seriously need this to ease congestion.

Renault Twizy

Top Gear's P45

Interestingly, Jeremy Clarkson (or Top Gear) built themselves a P45 after driving the Peel P50. Its called P45 because its narrower than the P50. 

(Note: I can only find a good quality extract of this on youtube. Full video can be found on youtube)

The Marauder

It isn't almost indestructible. It's indestructible.


Mercedes G63 6 x 6

Tired of 4x4 on the streets, now (read: future) there is a 6x6

Air Powered Car, anyone?

The alternative propulsion system to fossil fuel are electric, natural gas and maybe hydrogen. While each of them have their advantages, they have their limitations as well.  For example, electric cars have limited range and expensive battery, natural gas cars still continue to burn a finite resources, hydrogen is still a flammable substance.

Maybe its time to look into an 'old' method of propulsion in a new application. When I mean 'old', it's really technology from the late 19th century (see video).

What if car are powered by the air that around us all along? The only cost is to run a compressor (electricity cost) to compressed the air into the tank and the car is good to go.

Of course, there are limitations in this for example like the low speed but then the cost to get one of this car is low at Euro $7,000 and cost of running is cheap too at $0.50 Euro per 100km.

What other vehicle can beat that in terms of cost?
