Jaguar C-X75 range-extended electric..

Jaguar recently unveiled its C-X75 Conceptcar. The presentation took place right before the opening of the 2010 Paris Motor Show.

It is worth mentioning that the electric hybrid vehicle marks the 75th anniversary of iconic Jaguar design. In addition, Jaguar C-X75 is meant to provide a look into the future of car-making technology.

The two-seater eco-friendly supercar boasts a propulsion system that combines two small micro gas turbine engines, offering 140 kW. The engines can be powered by LPG, diesel, biofuel or natural gas.

Besides, the four electric motors that deliver 145 kW are connected to a lithium ion battery pack to increase the car’s range up to 900km (560 miles).

Boasting zero emissions when using only battery power, Jaguar C-X75 will emit just 28 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer when running on full power.

It is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 kph (62mph) in 3.4 seconds, having a top speed of 330kph (205mph). The vehicle also reaches 145kph from 80 kph in 2.3 seconds.

Apart from being eco-friendly, the car is also very lightweight. This is because engineers made analuminum construction that makes use of over 50 percent recycled metal content.

Carrera Raptor RS(ELECTRIC)

This eco-friendly superbike was designed by Adrian Carrera. It is powered by electric engines mounted inside each wheel. The visible rims in the two wheels of the bike have a static shape. Each visible rim holds an internal rim. When the internal rim rotates together with the tire and the brake disk, it creates a visual effect for the passers-by. At high speeds, Carrera Raptor RS leans to the left or right in order to take curves. It would be interesting to note that the bike’s front tire can rotate in its own axis with the help of a gyroscope rotation system. The rider can use the controls on the handle to electronically control the front tire.

Super Electric Bike(HR26-NES)

Helder Rodrigues decided to design an all-electric bike for the zero-emission race category of the TT Zero. The bike was entitled HR26-NES (New Electric Sport). It is powered by batteries that are able to produce 80KW of power. Besides being powerful, the motorcycle is rather silent and was designed to have body, chassis fairings and wheels made from such lightweight materials as aluminum and carbon fiber. Thus the bike’s weight was cut down to 160 kilograms.

Super Electric Bike (AER)

Andre Federico Look is the author of this electric superbike that can compete with nearly any fuel-powered vehicle on the racetrack. The AER boasts a number of interesting features, including an asymmetrical chassis. The AER is powered by four electric motors that together are able to generate 143.5KW of power. In order to equally distribute the weight, the electric engines and their battery packs are installed in a very compact way.

A wooden bike for kids

• The Gocycle
  Elaborated by Richard Thorpe – former engineer at McLaren Cars Ltd – and produced by Karbon Kinetics, this electric foldaway eco-bike took about 6 years of research. Equipped with an ultra-light magnesium frame, it has a 250 watt electric engine fed by a rechargeable battery. With a three and a half hours autonomy, the Gocycle three-speed 16 kg eco-bike has two disk brakes and two suspensions. The “on demand power” function enables you to choose the intensity of its effort by simply pushing a button.

• A wooden bike for kids!
  The wooden LIKEaBIKE models have no pedals! These unique toy vehicles for children between two and five years old can be used indoors and out. The LIKEaBIKE models come equipped with a cotton seat and rubber grips for the handle bar. It’s not a flawless green product, but it’s a good start. This rather eco-friendly bike will boost your child’s confidence and sense of balance while teaching him to respect the environment.

The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it. 
Chrysler will be selling the original Tomahawk concept and nine replicas through Neiman Marcus, for up to $555,000 each. The motorcycles cannot be licensed, so they cannot be legally driven on public roads. A Chrysler spokesman told Reuters they were meant as rolling sculptures. 
Rumors had the Tomahawk selling for under $200,000, most likely at a loss or breakeven price, for publicity purposes - but still fully drivable. Wolfgang Bernhard, Chrysler's not particularly respected first mate, was said to be enthusiastic about that project, so much so that hundreds were projected to be built at under $200,000 each. They reportedly cost Chrysler over $100,000 to build (admittedly the work is outsourced). 
The Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the engine. 
The Tomahawk remains on display at auto shows - though well out of reach of the general public, elevated on a special display.
