Though the modern history of hybrid cars starts from the 1990s, they can not be reckoned a new invention at all. Different types of hybrid engines and sources of power were used in the means of transport even hundreds of years ago. ...

Funny Audi R8 commercial - 'The Hostage'
A bad driver, a villain, a cop, and an Audi R8 cross paths
We open on a black Audi R8 moving at a slow crawl through a parking garage. Meanwhile, an armed security guard is stalking a well-groomed criminal-type with a gun. An attractive woman comes out of the car after parking it - badly, across three parking spots.
The ruffian approaches, presumably to tell her about unwritten parking garage rules, even in an empty lot. The guard pulls his weapon and orders the thug to drop it. A standoff ensues, with the criminal alternating between holding his gun on the guard, then the woman, then finally the car. You'll have to watch the video to find out what happens next.
Not a bad one-minute spot for Audi. The only disappointing element is the criminal's choice of indescript getaway vehicle. We would have chosen something that at least matches the 518 hp capabilities of the Audi R8 V10.
Then again, maybe we watch too many movies.

The V8 Blender: World’s most powerful fruit blender
Some of you simply love Jeremy Clarkson, while others…hate him. Okay, hate maybe was a strong word, but let’s just say that not everyone is his fan. But regardless, Jeremy is quite a character and he does not cease to amaze me.
So, you might be asking yourself already: what did he do this time? What car did he crash this time? Well, fortunately for him, he stayed away from the track this time but decided to take a V8 engine on the TV set.
Why the V8 engine? Well, he decided to build the world’s most powerful fruit blender by using the powerful 430HP 6.2L V8 found in a Corvette.
The result? Watch the video.
P.S I wonder how a V8 twin-turbo would work in this case. ;))

MonoTracer Blurs the Line Between Motorcycle And Car
The Peraves MonoTracer blurs the line between motorcycle and car, providing the excitement of two wheels with the comfort of four in a vehicle that looks like something out of Star Wars.
The super-exclusive MonoTracer -- just 100 will be built next year, at about $70,000 a pop -- is a fully-enclosed motorcycle with training wheels. The carbon-fiber two-seater combines Porsche-like performance with scooter-like fuel economy, accelerating from zero to 62 mph in a claimed (.pdf) 4.8 seconds while still returning 65 mpg. With the perfect blend of performance and luxury, the MonoTracer just might be the sports car of the future.
And it was just named one of Time magazine's best inventions of the year.
Former SwissAir pilot Arnold Wagner has been playing with enclosed motorcycles since 1982, when he built a prototype of the Ecomobile. It looked a bit like a Tylenol capsule with wheels and used a BMW motorcycle engine for power. Wagner and his sons built more than 90 Ecos -- most were sold in Europe and Japan, although a few made it to America -- before a fire destroyed the molds a few years ago. Rather than give up or simply recreate the Ecomobile, Wagner and his two sons went back to the drawing board.
The MonoTracer sports a carbon fiber and Kevlar body reinforced with aluminum crash and roll bars. The engine cradle, retractable outriggers -- they keep the bike from falling over at stoplights -- and steering head are aircraft-quality steel. Power comes from the same 1200-cc four-cylinder engine BMW uses in its K-bikes. The engine produces 113 horsepower, which may not seem like much until you realize the Monotracer weighs just over 1,000 pounds. Amenities include air conditioning and a full-on stereo.
Driving the MonoTracer is a lot like riding a motorcycle - twist the throttle and go - but it's got a clutch pedal instead of a lever. The MonoTracer will lean into corners at a superbike-like 52 degrees, while ABS and traction control will keep you from getting in over your head.

Dream car drag race pits GM's best Corvette ZR-1 against world class competition
Everyone's bashing GM these days. But the company has a few bright spots. Case in point: see what happens when you pit the company's fastest car, the 638-hp Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 against three of the fastest fancy-schmancy chariots from foreign countries. In a straight-line drag race, see who's your daddy, you Ferrari 599 GTB, Nissan GT-R and the Porsche 911 GT2. Ha.
When we hear talk of GM going away, we think of some faceless corporation cranking out bulky, gas-guzzling SUVs to fewer and fewer buyers. But then we see GM's Corvette ZR-1, a marvel of engineering achievement, leaving the likes of Ferrari in its dust, and we think, isn't there some way to save U.S. car companies from their own idiot bosses?

World's fastest donuts
By world's fastest donuts, we don't mean delicious pastries moving at a high rate of speed. We're referring to this video of Russ Swift's Guiness World Record for spinning his Lancer Evolution through ten 360 degree turns in just over 16 seconds.
If the name Russ Swift sounds familiar, it should. He's also got records for the tightest/fastest parallel park and quickest J-turn, which are also shown in the the clip below.

World's fastest electric dragster
This dragster at the time was the fastest of its kind in the world. By "its kind" I mean that this is an all-electric dragster. Watch as it rockets down the quarter-mile with only the sound of rubber gripping road, but make sure your speakers are turned up.
