This looks.....interesting. I am interested more in the motor then anything. I'm not impressed with the styling or anything... I think it looks like crap.

This motor though, a V10 with Tri-Flex or for those of you that dont know, the ability to run on three types of fuel, sounds very intriguing. The design is sound, as BMW also went the hydrogen/gasoline combined engine route.

The engines of the future could run on hydrogen and require very little in the way of design changes. Granted, they'd need to have things reinforced and better seals and what have you for the hydrogen, but the cars could in effect stay roughly 75% unchanged.
The cost of this is only a couple grand more per motor....like $5kish...least on the smaller motors..

 

Yeah, the Engine is a pretty neat concept. But the design of the vehicle is ugly.

 

Focus is on the doors. I think they are looking for reaction on the suicide doors.

 

It looks "super gay". I think artists play too much of a role in engineering. They want good designs, but it takes away from practability and good engineering...

uH ...LeAd Sled ?....Iron SHOeboX? GerMan TANk? Oh wait Ford Superchief!

 

if i saw one of those in a parkinglot i wouldn't think twice about taking a **** on it.

 

Their stylists and engineers aren't reading from the same page, or the same book, for that matter!!!![:'(]

The engine is "neato"...


Nicko, you can **** on it, I'm pulling my key...

 

last time i keyed a car for the good of mankind, that started a huge flame war.

 

So screw it, who cares...
