Add another Ferrari to your collection with the Motorola Z8 mobile
Ferrari products, like your mobile phone/laptop/segway, are obviously for people who love the glamour and wealth the brand promotes, but who just can’t cough up the thousands for an actual car.
Adding to their garage of Ferrari mobiles, they’ve pimped the Motorola Z8, bundling it with The Bourne Identity, as well as…
Chevrolet's KITTY LOC8TOR for the valium-addled American housewife
We hesitate to use such cliched old phrases as “only in America,” but if you can show us another country in the world that requires custom gadgetry to help drivers locate their cars we’d be amazed.
This is the KITTY LOC8TOR. It’s a sort of walkie-talkie thing that…
Jeep Renegade concept hybrid is straight outta Halo
This isn’t just a “bit like” Halo 3’s Warthog multi-personnel deathwagon, it’s practically identical. The same big wheels. The same front end. The same roofless design. The same low-profile active camouflage green. The same cut-away back bit for angry space marines to stand on and fire turret guns into the vulnerable cargo bays of attacking alien spaceships.
Volkswagen's "space up! blue" hybrid solar concept van thing
Yes, it’s really called “space up! blue”. Hopefully it’ll get a more modest name should the thing ever arrive here. The VW 145, for example. Or, if they want to be really fancy, the V2000. There’s no need for exclamation marks in product names.
The sweet little mini concept car is powered by batteries and hydrogen, running for a very impressive 220 miles when charged to the max with both options…
VentureOne three-wheeler hybrid car available in 2009
Hybrid cars are getting a huge look-in at the moment on Tech Digest, and with environmentalism becoming bigger and more important in technology with every passing year, expect to see more of them.
This VentureOne hybrid car comes from Venture Vehicles, and whilst it’s still the same size of a Mini Cooper, it only has three-wheels and is completely environmentally-green. Able to squeeze in two passengers…
Volkswagen Viseo concept car, featuring external OLED screen for displaying info
Phwroar, would you take a look at that Volkswagen! It’s certainly a far cry from the Beetle and Golf models, eh? Still, Germans have always been known for their forward-thinking design aesthetics, and this concept car doesn’t disappoint.
Electric cars are all the rage, as we’ve seen in countless other offerings in the shape of the Tesla Roadster, Suzuki PIXY, and three-wheeled Aptera.
Created by Marc Kirsch, with Volkswagen’s support, the three-seater car not only has an aerodynamic bod, but…
Shiny Video Preview: MPH 07 – Jaguar XF
Last week Zara hotfooted it over to the MPH 07 show, where the future’s hottest cars are debuted. There, she fell in love….
The quite superb Suzuki PIXY single-person electric car
If you fancy tootling around town while being mocked by the local youths and have a skin think enough to cope, the Suzuki PIXY could be the next-generation vehicle for you. It’s a single-person vehicle which may or may not be legally describable as a “car” – and it’s entirely electric so that all you world-saving environmentalists can tootle around feeling quite superior about that.
Toyota's 'RiN' concept hybrid car looks after the environment, the passengers, and pedestrians. Darn over-achievers!
During the Tokyo Motor Show of 2007, car-giant Toyota showed off their eco-friendly hybrid concept car.
Dubbed ‘RiN’, it it not only promotes environmental sustainability, but also looks after its users, with heated seats, an oxygen-level conditioner, pinpoint humidifier and green grass to reduce ultraviolet rays from…
Phone Jeremy Clarkson! Mercedes Benz SilverFlow concept car melts to different shapes
Better start rearranging your garage and making room for a new car, as Mercedes-Benz have come up trumps with a model that’s bound to get piston-heads salivating. Heck, even I’m salivating, and the extent of my car-interest revolves around perving on Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson as they perve on the latest cars on Top Gear.
The 2057 Mercedes-Benz SilverFlow concept car has been shown off at the 2007 Design Challenge competition, and the luxury car company is saying due to its micro-metallic materials, it can…
