Porsche Wants To Build The 918 Hybrid Supercar

We, like just about everyone else in the automotive world, were blown away when Porsche took the wraps off the 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The wizards in Stuttgart built the plug-in hybrid on the QT and kept it super-secret until rolling it out in Geneva, where it almost literally stopped the show. Now it seems Porsche [...]

MotoCzysz Puts the Sizzle in Electric Motorcycles

We are in the midst of an electric motorcycle revolution, and nowhere is that more obvious than on the racetrack. The new technology is not about tweaking the status quo. It’s about shattering it. And that’s just what Michael Czysz plans to do at the TT Zero motorcycle race. The head guy at MotoCzysz — that’s [...]

Google Maps Finally Adds Bike Routes

At long last, Google Maps has routes specifically for bikes. With the click of a mouse, the new feature allows you to plot the best (and flattest!) ride from Point A to Point B. Several cities, including New York, Minneapolis, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, have bike-specific mapping sites. But Google is rolling it out in [...]

Oldest Known Flying ‘Car’ Up for Auction

It doesn’t look like a car, and it doesn’t look like it would fly, but what is believed to be the world’s oldest “roadable aircraft” is for sale. The antique was built in 1934 by Frank Skroback and at the very minimum provides proof that people have long dreamed of cars that can be flown like [...]

Electric Car Race Slated For Barcelona

We won’t see electric cars racing through the streets of Paris in June. They’ll be racing through the streets of Barcelona in October instead. The EMXGP pulled the plug, if you’ll pardon the pun, on racing in the City of Light and pushed back the race date to give teams more time to develop their cars. [...]

Journalist Uses Rum To Expose Airport Security Loophole

A Dutch journalist has exposed a loophole in airport security after carrying several liters of liquid on a transcontinental flight to Washington, D.C. Alberto Stegeman and two colleagues carried six Bacardi rum bottles filled with water aboard flights from Amsterdam to London and then on to Dulles International Airport. The ruse was pretty straightforward, too. They [...]

‘Electric Peugeot’ Is French for ‘Electric Mitsubishi’

French automaker Peugeot-Citroen is going nuts for electric vehicles, but rather than building them it will slap its logo on boatloads of Mitsubishis. The Japanese company has agreed to build 100,000 i-MiEV electric cars for the French company under a contract that runs through 2015, according to Automotive News Europe. It’s a smart move for everyone [...]

Pilots Say ‘Adios’ To Support Suspended Controller

Pilots are rallying behind Glenn Duffy, the air traffic controller suspended after allowing his kids to issue instructions to airliners at JFK airport, by ending their transmissions the same way Duffy’s son did — by saying “adios.” The Federal Aviation Administration has come down hard after the incident was made public last week, launching an investigation [...]

Postal Service Gets a Bright Idea for EVs

The postal service likes the Bright Idea and wonders if it would make a good delivery truck. The U.S. Postal Service has invited Bright Automotive to put an electric drivetrain in a standard-issue mail truck. Once the truck is ready to roll, the postal service will add it to its fleet for real-world testing in the [...]

VW Bus Celebrates 60 Years. Again.

Today is the 60th anniversary, again, of one of the most recognizable and beloved vehicles to ever clatter down the road. The exact anniversary of the Volkswagen Type 2, known affectionately as the Microbus or just the Bus, is open to interpretation. Volkswagen says it’s 1947, when Dutch VW importer Ben Pon first sketched the design. [...]
