Compressed Air Technology Car

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars (December 20, 2007 at 2:07 am)

There have been a few automobiles created to reduce our worsening environment brought by the transpiration system. There is the electric car, solar car and the air car. From the name itself, this car is powered by air – compressed air technology in the engine; making the car non – polluting and economical.

 Instead of gas tank, it has air tank. If the air tank is empty, the driver can switch to fuel mode until he reaches a gasoline station to recharge the air tank. Recharging the air tank, a full tank will just cost 1.5 euros in about 2 or 3 minutes. Very, very economical and also earth friendly; since there is no combustion there is no pollution then.

 The air car is easy to get around; it has a performance that can compete with the current car standards. It also has no limited driving range, can drive around 8 hour circulation. It is not expensive, the car cost ranges from 3,500 euros to 5,000 euros. Air car is not yet on market, its manufacturer Moteur Development International of France plans to market it on the summer of 2008, if every thing went well according to their plan.

Nissan Pivo 2

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars (December 18, 2007 at 5:58 am)

Nissan had come up with a new and improved version of Pivo 1, the Pivo 2. Pivo 1 is white while the Pivo 2 is colored blue. The Pivo 2 has additional functions but their physical features are somehow the same. Pivos are electric – powered, but Pivo 2 has cabin that can turn 360 degrees where there is no need for reverse gear and the wheel can turn 90 degrees.

The great difference between Pivo 1 and Pivo 2 is the robotic agent in the car that speaks English or Japanese. The robot communicates the basic functions of the vehicles to the driver to the nearest parking area. This robotic agent can communicate almost anything regarding the vehicle; it’s just like having a companion as you drive. Though Pivo 2 is electric – power, it can also be powered by Lithium – ions batteries which is electric – powered too. This car is becoming environment friendly and value the companionship.

Nissan Pivo 1

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars ( at 4:46 am)

 One of the famous cartoon car concepts in 2005 is Pivo. Nissan its maker finally made the car available for viewing only recently. This cartoon car Pivo is recognized by the cabin it has that rotates 180 degrees. As we all know, carton cars are futuristic, so I myself does not know of its practicality sense even for the coming days. Nissan Pivo is small white carton car coming to flesh.

 I don’t know if there is a possibility for this car to be on the road on the coming days or years. Well, we don’t know, why not? Obviously you will never have to worry in parking it because you don’t need to reverse it. Plus the thought that you will never get ticket for going the wrong way on one – way streets.

Lowrider Trucks Innovation

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars (November 29, 2007 at 9:25 am)

These types of cars have come along way after going though lots of modification. True indeed, who would think that some classic cars from the 1940s to 1960s would be very popular today as Lowrider Trucks? Lowrider trucks of early years were occasionally small, which rode low to reduce ground clearance. Lowrider Trucks are very popular nowadays; they are no longer related to ‘bad boys’ look but are now seen as magnificent collectibles

As part of its modification, lowrider trucks usually has custom paint, custom interiors, hydraulics, and extensive body modifications. They have loud sound systems combined with electronic video devices that have powerful amplifier and large subwoofers producing big sound of bass. With those great modifications, the cost of all these things is really high, it can actually be compared to a price of a new vehicle. Thus one should constantly check the vehicle to avoid high cost of repair in the future.

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars (November 27, 2007 at 10:47 am)

It seems impossible to see a kit car that can look and perform just like those cars made of famous car manufacturers. But it is actually possible to make one from a kit. Though a kit car can be bought as factory built but kit car is designed for self – built. If you decide to build the car by yourself you get to value the car more because you spent money and your effort in building this is definitely priceless. Buying a kit is much cheaper than getting a kit car from a factory. Plus you will be able to add those personal touches in all aspect of making the kit car.

 One of the greatest kit cars I saw is the 5Exi made by Marlin Sports Co Ltd – a fast sports racecar. This kit car is very famous in the kit car market. You can actually make this kit car by ordering a kit from them. It is fast to build, takes less than 100 hours. The kit is already a complete package from the biggest part to the nuts and bolts. If you encounter difficulty in building this kit car assistance will be given. 5EXi kit car have quality parts and engine that you can be proud of once you are through with the assembling.  If you have the time, money, skill and equipment you are all set to make a kit of your own.

Posted by Jo in Concept Cars (November 23, 2007 at 6:50 am)

There’s been a lot of argument as to what really is a muscle car especially with the coming of those so-called “pony” cars like Mustang. Muscle cars are basically for transportation purposes given its performance a little push making it to be a sport car because of its powerful V8 engine. While a pony car is really designed to be sports car, which are smaller than muscle cars. A muscle car has two doors only with large and powerful engine. They can be American, Australian and South African models.

Due to its innovation, muscle car eventually then was a high – performance vehicle. Up to now muscle car manufacturers continue producing it, so there are old and new muscle cars. The new models of muscle cars can be four – sitter and V-6 as long as they can satisfy the 0 –60 urge or more and can come from any country other than America, Australia and South Africa.
