Conventional wisdom says sleeping while at the wheel is a surefire way to drive into the other life, but the saucer vehicle concept totally shuns the idea to let its driver sleep, in fact, it lets the driver sleep all cozy and comfortable on the bed! The futuristic autonomous vehicle has a soundproof interior to allow the driver to lie down, relax or just have a good nap.
The Renault Twingo is no monster, and we guess it would never be one. Lazareth’s take on the Twingo mini is perhaps the closest this car gets to being a monster, or at least formidable. The French custom car builder took out the tiny front-mounted engine the Twingo had, and replaced it with a mighty 180hp 3.5-l V8 sourced from Range Rover.

Joseph Rush’s invention is part hovercraft, part motorcycle, and as he puts it, “a new form of transportation for the 21st century.” The vehicle is basically a hovercraft with the motorcycle being used for steering and propulsion. Acting as a supplementary steering and propulsion system, the motorcycle vastly improves the handling of the hovercraft, as compared to conventional ones that lack such systems.
While cars may be going electric and cleaner, there hasn’t been much of a development on the air-route front. There are a few alternative energy powered prototypes in discussion, but they still have a long way to go. Southwest Airlines has shown a new way the metal birds could go greener, and it is in ways, conventional, new and innovative.
The world’s smallest working train set is a “real” miniature thing, it is built on a scale of 1:35200, and measures just 1/8 of an inch x 1/4 of an inch. The best part of course is that the set is functional, even with those miniature dimensions. Created by David Smith, the model has a five-carriage train traveling around an oval route.
The wooden buggy had been around for centuries as a transport medium, until it became obsolete. Artist Seth Kinmont’s wooden buggy however, is quite stationed in the present, if not the future. It is an electric car, and with a classic look like that, it is a definite hit; well, at least for the cool art project that it is. The electric buggy is apparently powered by four 12-V batteries so it isn’t likely to have much of range or speed, but well, it wasn’t made for those things. Video after the jump.
Unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, Suzuki claims its Burgman Fuel Cell Scooter can have a range as high as 350km. This is basically achieved by storing more hydrogen, the Burgman’s hydrogen tank has a maximum working pressure of 70 MPa and can hold 10 liters of Hydrogen.
This Moto G4 Mac mod may not have much “processing power” to speak of, but it does have a top speed of more than 30 mph, disk brakes for the front and rear wheel, and a windscreen that once was a part of an Apple pro keyboard. The diminutive motorbike runs on a 49cc 2-stroke petrol engine.
USB flash drives/ memory sticks are immensely popular, and available in a whole lot of flavor. Now Porsche has added its very own “sporty” flavor to the mix with this 2GB flash drive from Porsche Design. Design of the foldable memory stick is based on the car keys of the Panamera. The flash drive costs $49, which is quite expensive for a 2 gigs drive, but we guess the cost of getting a Porsche logo on the USB drive is the main thing here.
