Nice, now let's see this innovation get buried by the big car companies.

looks like the cockpit of a little two seater airplane. Think a motorcycle would be way more fun to drive then one of those.

man, those pics of the forerunner make me miss my old '85 FJ-60 Landcruiser. Then I check gas prices, and I don't miss it anymore.

In reply to: man, those pics of the forerunner make me miss my old '85 FJ-60 Landcruiser. Then I check gas prices, and I don't miss it anymore. Loosing my 4runner was like loosing a child. As for the gas, the 4Runner is quite good on gas. I kept mine tuned up great. 600-700km/tank. 65L tank. I will have one again, not as soon as I would like, but within a year. Jeeps just aren't the same a a good Yota, hell jeeps aren't the same as a beat up half dead Yota. :lol:

Dude, the website says it can pull 1.7 G's in a corner. 1.7 G's!!!!!! Only problem I see though (besides the obvious--where do you put stuff) is that it is going to do very poorly in an accident with any regular-sized car...and when you're hitting corners at 60 mph pulling 1.7 G's, that may be a major issue...

Exactly what I was thinking. What's the point of having a cool car if there is nowhere for your date?

I'd like to see electric-powered/hydrogen offroad vehicles. That would be impressive. Can you imagine the rock-crawling and general increases in performance you'd have if each wheel has its own electric motor? Imagine having no axles...instant doubling of ground clearance. Also, your ability to control traction would be huge--the power generated at each wheel could be controlled entirely independently.

That might be the most intelligent thing you've ever posted on this site. Come to think of it, it might be the only intelligent thing you've ever posted on this site. :idea:
