  Go Anywhere, 4-Wheel Drive Vehicle                                                                                 Source:  Polaris Electric, Quiet, Off-Roader If you want to do some fun off-roading that doesn't destroy the peace and quiet of nature, take a look at the all-electric, 4-wheel drive UTV, the Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic.  Polaris is a nearly $10 billion off-roading and snowmobile company based in Medina, Minnesota. Their new XP Kinetic is getting a lot of buzz as a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV).  The company says this vehicle can go virtually anywhere.  It's been specifically engineered for electrification with a battery and electric motor replacing the fuel tank and gas-powered engine of previous versions of the UTV.  The vehicle has no grill because it has no radiator. In the front there are LED lights between the headlights.  The lightbar doubles up as a gauge to let you know the amount of charge the car has taken and how much more it needs to top-off. Tech Spec

  Czinger's 21C Hypercar                                             Source:  Czinger Vehicles Perhaps the Start of an Automaking Revolution LA based Czinger Vehicles has built a spectacular, $2 million, carbon-fiber hypercar, the Czinger 21C.  The car's speed, power and performance are unprecedented.  And so are the design and manufacturing process.  The car was designed by Czinger's proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) and then totally 3D printed.  The new technologies could result in a revolutionary new approach to automaking.  The company says their systems are so precise and efficient that a team of 1,000 engineers could not have gotten even close to the results of the Czinger 21C. Tech Specs The Czinger 21C is one heck of a ride around the racetrack.  The $2 million car created by the system is nothing short of stellar.  It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 1.9 seconds, packs 1,250 hp and claims top speeds of 253 mph.  To build the vehicle, Czinger invented a fixtur

  Working Prototype of the Flying Tiger                                                  Source:  VW China VW's First Aircraft Design The world's largest auto maker, Volkswagen, has just unveiled its first aircraft design, in the form of a working prototype. Formally called the VMO and nicknamed the Flying Tiger, it's a state-of-the-art passenger drone prototype, designed to serve as a flying taxi to shuttle a maximum of four passengers at a time between big cities, first in China. The Flying Tiger is all electric and totally autonomous.  It's being developed by engineers, scientists and roboticists at VW China in Beijing.  VW believes that we are headed towards a world where everyone is a pilot, with or without a pilot's license.  That's the perfect fit for the self-flying drone, Flying Tiger. Tech Specs The vehicle is a state-of-the-art drone, powered by 8 rotors for vertical lift and mobility and 2 rear propellers for forward movement. It is an eVTOL (electri
