Take a look at the latest gas saving concept vehicle, this small and lightweight car is a new idea known as the Space-Efficient Vehicle or SEV. It was a design idea by Steven Van Der Veen and Ralph Panhuyzen. It was one of the 2008 finalists in the Michelin Design Challenge, and was displayed at the Auto Show in Detroit two months ago. The vehicle is so tiny, it is possible fit not one, but two, into just one regular parking space.
This bike runs on nothing but thin air, designed by University of Bristol aeronautics graduate Jim Stansfield, former sheepherder, turned inventor and rocket scientist. He simply used a couple of air canisters normally used by firefighters as breathing apparatus and married them onto a moped. Giving the world an air-powered moped that actually puts out cleaner air than found in many town and city center.
Forget the stylish and timeless Mercedes sports, the next must have German road machine may be the Audi Snook. This new concept in road hugging design does not go for that boring old wheel in each corner idea. The Snook opts for the much more sensible, single wheel in the middle format.
This is the real thing, not a concept and will set you back a hefty $82,350 USD and is available around Christmas time. Way, way overpriced, go look for state-of-the-art touring bikes instead, they’ll only set you back around $20k USD.
