Lotus revealed a mystery car and the name is unknown at this point. Lotus has released a single photograph and preliminary specifications.

The new car, codenamed Project Eagle, draws heavily on the current Lotus models for design inspiration, though it is intended to be more of an all-rounder than the mostly track-biased cars Lotus currently produces. Despite appearances, the new car accommodates four, with two rear seats designed for short trips or for kids. Buyers may opt to remove the rear seats altogether in return for more luggage space.

Ferrari have stated that it will reduce 40% emissions by 2012. How do they do that using traditional fuel? Electronic powered is probably a way to achieve this. At a recent Ferrari technical event the company demonstrated a number of different methods it will introduce to help reduce emissions and consumption.

The Lamborghini Reventón may not be a reinvention, but there’s no doubt that it is very unique with the sharp edges and huge air intakes. There are only 20 made worldwide. (Pic: Reventón vs Panavia Tornado jet-fighter - of course, Lambo lost) Today we are not going to talk about the specs of this car, I’m sure you can find the detail specs else where. Let’s focus on the TFT display looks like an airplane.

Designed and created using Alcantara, carbon, aluminum, and leather that comply with the top quality standards, the interior is inspired by the next generation cockpits: just like in modern airplanes. Read the rest of this entry »

Ok, this must be from Japan. The City Car, a design from the MIT Media Lab, is a stackable, foldable car concept that hopes to alleviate the urban traffic jams we waste so much of our lives in. Let me explain this.

“These cars which are supposed to be rentable near major transportation hubs such as airports and train stations. It works just like a shopping cart in a grocery store. You deposit the money, you hopped into the car. Of course, you have to pick the one at the front, otherwise if you picked the middle car, how can you leave? Haha. Then the way ya go! Park your car into one of the dedicated parking spots when you’re done.”

The cars themselves are supposed to be incredibly agile, being able to turn on the spot and drive sideways to parallel park. Only time can tell whether this will be more or less successful than the Segway.
