THORIUM CAR: NEED TO BE REFUELED EVERY 100 YEARS (video)

If you haven’t yet been amazed by the hybrid car that runs on air or the water-powered engine, this vehicle is sure to make you think twice about the alternative forms of transportation which will one day rule the road.

The new Thorium car, created by a company called Laser Power Systems, is completely emission-free, turbine-free, and is electricity generated. It’s one of the new sustainable-powered engines to show just how unnecessary modern day propulsion engines are and also offer an exciting alternative.

THE MAD-MAX-LIKE BIKE FOR THE APOCALYPSE

Rugged Motorized Bicycles

This RUGGED MOTORIZED BICYCLE looks like something straight out of 'Mad Max: Fury Road.' Perhaps it will make a special appearance in the blockbuster film, which is set to hit theaters next year. Dubbed the Motoped Survival Bike, it looks as though it is made for apocalyptic conditions. It comes with a crossbow, shovel, tomahawk, harpoon, FIXED blade saw, lighting system, carabiners and climbing rope, flashlight, multi-tools and a bike mount for a smartphone, after all. Easily comparable to a full-blown motorcycle, this rugged motorized bicycle is a great hybrid between the two.

TRION SUPERCARS' NEMESIS: AMERICAN MADE

Ultra-powerful, world-speed-record supercars are earning a lot of attention lately. Hot on the heels of Hennessey's 270.49-mph (435.31 km/h) speed record and Koenigsegg's 1-megawatt One:1, we have an all-new contender from a young American start-up. Trion Supercars' Nemesis is an angry, 2,000-hp beast that has its eyes on the world record territory north of 270 mph (435 km/h).

LAMBORGHINI HURACAN

With its new Huracán, Lamborghini is about to unleash a new kind of fury on Ferrari’s all-conquering 458 Italia.

Powered by an even meaner development of the all-aluminium, 5.2-litre V10 from the outgoing Gallardo, the mid-engine Huracán is tipped by Lamborghini to blast from zero to 62mph in a scant 3.2 seconds, and will rip beyond 124mph in less than 10 seconds.

GREEN GT

The GreenGT was due to become the first non-petrol-engine car to compete at the famous 24-hour race, but its designers say this technology is still the future.

As those familiar with the story of the hare and the tortoise know, the quickest starter does not always win the race. The developers of a hydrogen fuel cell car due to become the first vehicle without a petrol engine to compete in the Le Mans 24 hour race have insisted their decision to pull out is the right one.

LAMBORGHINI VENENO: THE WORLD'S MOST-DIFFICULT-TO-WAX-CAR


lamborghini-veneno-01.jpgThey said it couldn't be done, but Lamborghini has pulled a design coup and successfully created the world's most-difficult-to-wax car. A cleverly arranged array of fins, vents, humps, angles, and even dangerously sharp edges have been designed to stymie even the most dedicated lackey, who simply will not be able to apply Meguiar's and wipe it back off in a reasonable amount of time. Mr. Miyagi's car, this isn't.

PUT YOUR CAR KEY BESIDES YOUR BED AT NIGHT


Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.

LAMBORGHINI SESTO ELEMENTO

The Sesto Elemento is equipped with a 6-speed paddle-shifted manual transmission and all-wheel-drive system, mated to a 5.2-litre V10 engine borrowed from the Lamborghini Gallardo, generating 570 horsepower and 398 ft-lb of torque. The chassis, body, driveshaft and suspension components are made of carbon fiber, reducing the overall weight to a mere 2,202 lbs, making it the lightest car Lamborghini has ever produced. Perspired air is released through 10 distinctive hexagonal holes in the engine cover, while two intakes funnel cool air into the mid-mounted engine compartment.
