It is a fan car, or a vacuum on wheels. Maybe @CraigB should use it to clean the track. lol

This Bonkers Electric Fan Car Captivated Goodwood. Now the Brand Is Making One for the Street.

I thought the whole purpose of the downforce fan was to eliminate the rear wing.

More downforce is more better?

I had no idea about this. 1.5 l V16 is just the kind of madness that makes racing awesome.

So, what is that...about 1/3 cup for each cylinder's displacement? 6 tablespoons, give or take?

It is an hour spent with the designer of the 63 Corvette reminiscing about his early career (19 hired at GM).

Hyundai N Vision 74 First Look: Build It Now

Hydrogen fuel cell EVs aren’t particularly sexy, or at least they weren’t, until the Hyundai N Vision 74 concept came along.

To me it's like an evolution of the DeLorean concept and an Audi Quattro concept. I see the Pony Coupe hints in it but that comes afterwards.

It's great no matter what it reminds me of.

Oh my, that thing makes a Suzuki Carry look stable!

I looked on the website and it has an optional, removable 30kWh battery with a 10kWh or 15kWh fixed pack. All three solar panels combined have a peak of 820 Watts, which isn't terrible for free energy but it's hardly going to recharge the batteries while you're parked.

Now that's maneuverability - it won't be fast since Beetles in 1974 had 50 hp at best, but hey...

Someone should do such a mount for the modern 911. That would solve the lack of power issue...

Or do an LS swap. 😄

Found on another website, source otherwise unknown (before anyone asks: the car is a Nash Metropolitan):
