  Solo Concept:  Tiny, 1-Person Vehicles                                                   Source:  Renault Mobility Ilio Concept: "Street Furniture" with Charging Station Renault's Mobility innovation group has developed a very radical, tiny, one-person electric vehicle and fascinating "street furniture" which are mobile units with charging stations and more to support the vehicles.  Mobility is dedicated to sustainable, new mobility. Their micro electric vehicle is called Solo Concept and it's a minimalist, all-electric, one-person vehicle with a very small footprint at just 54" long, 35.4" wide and 69" high.  The accompanying eco-system called Ileo Concept is a network of mobile charging point destinations to support fleets of their tiny concept cars.  Renault views the idea as a forward-looking mobility project designed to transition from cars to a carbon neutral environment.  Solo Concept Technologies The electric vehicle concept drives a

  Porsche 911 GT3 RS Has a Massive Wing                                                                                                                                                 Source:  Porsche Race Car for the Road Volkswagen's luxury brand Porsche has developed a massively powerful new car with a huge aerodynamic wing on its back. Called the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, it's a race car for the road with the highest level of technology.  The vehicle can hit speeds of 193 mph and goes from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds, thanks to the athletic strength of its powerful engine and its unique ability to harness the thrust and power of the wind with its aerodynamic wing. Tech Specs and More GT3 RS is equipped with a 4.0-liter, 6-cylinder engine that pumps out a hefty 518 hp.  Thanks to the sports car's wing and other aerodynamic features, GT3 RS' downforce numbers are 3-times that of a normal GT3.  At 124 mph, the downforce is more than 900 pounds.  At 177 mph, it is 1,895 pounds.

Their time is about to come.  Three flying cars are now at the tipping point of going into production for sales in global markets.  The vehicles ready for takeoff, that are road legal with wings, include Slovakia-based Klein Vision's AirCar, Dutch company PAL-V International's Liberty Sport and Oregon-based Samson Sky's Switchblade.  They are heralding in a brand-new form of travel. Switchblade US-based Sampson Sky is promising deliveries of its 3-wheel flying car Switchblade in 2024. They already have 2100 orders for the vehicle from 53 nations.  Switchblade has been 14 years in development.  A gas engine powers one electric motor that drives the propeller and also powers one or two more motors that drive the wheels.  The vehicle will be sold
