The FNR driverless concept features dragonfly dual swing doors, magnetic hub-less wheel electric motors that can store excess energy and a wireless auto-charge system. Wowers…
According to Chevy’s parent company, GM, the FNR features tech that is usually only seen in science fiction movies. Unfortunately, as cool as this machine looks, we’ll probably never actually see anything like it being built for general release.
Still, it’s pretty freaking sweet.
Peugeot’s latest hot hatch features a 1.6-litre 270hp petrol engine and two 115hp electric motors, one front, one rear, making it whopping 500hp in all.
According to the French manufacturer, the 308 R Hybrid concept can hit 100km/h in just 4.0 seconds and has a top speed of 250km/h. All the while it emits just 70g/km because it's a hybrid. How cool is that?
On board, chefs benefit from two grilling plates and four induction burners as well as a deep fryer. The ventilation system ensures optimum air quality and a 400-litre refrigerated under-foot compartment allows food to stay fresh.
A 350-litre refrigerator keeps drinks cold, and a professional espresso machine, by Rocket Espresso, provides patrons with delicious coffee at the end of their meals. When the chefs are done, they simple pack up and drive off.
According to the auction site: “Walker drives this Supra head to head against Diesel's Dodge Charger in a race to a railroad crossing where both cars jump the tracks just in time to miss an oncoming train and just as the action appears to calm down, Vin Diesel's character collides with a semi; flipping the Charger over the Supra as it cruises ahead.”
So, the price? The estimate is set between $150,000-$200,000, but with the recent success of Fast and Furious 7 and the passing of Paul Walker, we’d wager that this particular Supra will sell for quite a bit more.
Unfortunately, like all concepts, the VW C Coupe GTE is merely a look at what a future luxurious car from the German automaker might look like; so don’t expect to see one on the roads anytime soon.
Even if the VW C Coupe GTE concept was massed produced, rumours are that it could be destined for the likes of the Chinese and US markets exclusively, as it may be considered a bit too big for European tastes. ‘Feck that’, we say…Explore more on these topics:
