F2O by David Cardoso L - - Electric-powered Amphibious Vehicle

This F2O design by Belgian industrial designer David Cardoso L  has been made to go on the road as well as in the water. Looking like a small aircraft, it has adjustable wheels that can also be used as propellers.






The F2O by David Cardoso L is electric-powered, so it is eco-friendly and safe for the fish. The huge rear spoiler suggests that it is a fast going vehicle. Let’s hope that this concept will be brought to life one day and will be seen being driven or at least floating somewhere.

‘Nissan Esflow’: All-new Battery Powered Stallion - - Set to Be Launched at Geneva Auto Show in March

Japanese automaker Nissan Motors is set to launch the all-new battery-powered ‘Nissan Esflow’ in March this year at the Geneva Auto Show. The all-electric Japanese tech-piece is already buzzing around the web with many images and company provided details.  



As per the details available, the Nissan Esflow idea, which is attached to the electric underpinnings of the Leaf (Nissan's four-door electric car), gets a remarkable similarity to its gas-powered 370Z Stablemate, with a likely touch of the old BMW M Couple in its hatchback-like rear haunches and inclined roofline. Up front, a long and wide hood provides approach to a sharply raked windscreen. Front and rear bumper projects are smallest, with the large wheels pushed to the limits of the car. 



Interior photos not yet revealed by Nissan; but an exterior shot discloses a bit of racing style seating usually found on a Ferrari F430 Challenge Stradale, signifying the sporting target of this electric stallion.

“Marusia” Formula-1 Car Unveiled at BBC Television Centre - Trial Run on Feb. 10 in Spain

“Marusia” Formula-1 Car unveiled at BBC Television Centre today. The tele-show-like unveiling ceremony was seen in London only; while Russians can enjoy its recording later on.

Russia-based Nikolai Fomenko Motors Company has designed and built “Marusia” Formula-1 Car. Mr. Fomenko, the founder of the company, was a singer and actor with an extraordinary affection for speedsters. The company’s first produced car “Marussia” B1 featured in popular TV show “Top Gear”, which immediately caught the attention of Britons. Jeremy Clarkson, the show presenter, admired immensely the technical specs and features of the vehicle.


 In 2009 Marussia Motors purchased major portion of shares of British Virgin Racing to form a new “Marussia Virgin Racing” and “Marusia” Formula-1 Car is the first production of the merged company which will bear MVR-02 logo.

A trial run is scheduled in Spain on February 10, which is highly recommended to watch for racing car lovers.
