According to Autoevolution, Velántur has already conducted successful road tests on two prototype models in Spain. These tests demonstrated that the cars could travel up to 400 kilometers on a single charge, with a charging time of just 30 minutes. This performance places Velántur’s electric vehicles in a competitive position against other industry leaders.

While detailed technical specifications are still under wraps, early reports suggest that these vehicles will boast a power output of 180 horsepower. They can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under eight seconds, combining classic charm with impressive performance.

The upcoming electric cars feature a three-door design and can comfortably seat four passengers. Velántur plans to release these retro-inspired electric vehicles in 2017. However, specific details regarding the pricing and release dates have yet to be announced.

As Velántur prepares to enter the global market, the anticipation surrounding their innovative approach and unique design continues to grow. Their commitment to blending classic aesthetics with modern technology could very well redefine the landscape of electric vehicles, offering a fresh choice for discerning drivers worldwide. *** [EKA [12032016] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VELANTUR | HURTAN AUTOMOVILES | PRESTIGEELECTRICCARS | CARANDDRIVER | AUTOEVOLUTION | WIKIPEDIA ]

Is this a motorcycle or what?

Unique ONES - In the era of shrinking automobiles, where cars are downsizing and even morphing into three-wheeled contraptions, it's not just the four-wheelers that are undergoing dramatic changes. The world of two-wheelers in the automobile industry is also in the throes of a significant transformation.

Whether you prioritize mileage, aesthetics, power, or any other aspect, there's an incredible amount of research and innovation happening in the realm of motorcycles and scooters. But what would you say to a motorcycle that challenges the very concept of two-wheeled transport and transforms into a rare four-wheeled creature that your eyes may find bewildering?

Would you still classify it as a motorcycle? After all, by definition, motorcycles are expected to have just two wheels, while cars are meant to have four. However, the boundaries are blurring, with a growing number of motorcycles adopting a four-wheel configuration. From the iconic Dodge Tomahawk V10 Superbike to the more recent entrant at the Geneva Motor Show 2016, the Lazareth LM847 V8-engined bike, the lines are becoming increasingly blurred.

Enter the 2010 Cosmos 4RW V8 Muscle Bike, a machine that oscillates between the realms of the bizarre and the awe-inspiring. This extraordinary creation is the brainchild of Brazilian mechanical engineer Amadeu Ferreira Junior, conceived back in 2009. At its heart, this motorcycle houses a 350-cubic-inch Chevy ZZ4 crate engine, capable of unleashing a staggering 355 horsepower and a jaw-dropping 405 pound-feet of torque.

Now, those are power figures that can propel a 4,000-pound hotrod at breakneck speeds, let alone a relatively modest 1,047-pound motorcycle. This unique beast offers a mere three gears, plus a reverse gear because trying to manually roll this heavyweight machine backward would be an exercise in futility.

What sets this monstrosity apart is its quartet of wheels, each measuring 17 inches in diameter. While you'd typically expect two wheels in the front and two in the back, the Cosmos 4RW V8 Muscle Bike challenges conventions by seamlessly blending its pairs together. This design innovation means that only riders of substantial stature might find themselves comfortable atop this mechanical behemoth. However, it comes with an added advantage - the stability provided by those two sizable wheels ensures that you won't be toppling over due to a lack of balance.

Now, let's talk numbers. The Cosmos 4RW V8 Muscle Bike comes with a hefty price tag, ringing in at a staggering $93,200 (approximately Rp.1.22 billion). However, for those who prefer a slightly tamer version with just two wheels, a relatively more affordable option is available at $82,100 (approximately Rp.1.07 billion). Yes, it's undeniably a steep price to pay for the thrill of owning one of these engineering marvels.

In a world where the boundaries between motorcycles and cars are becoming increasingly blurred, the Cosmos 4RW V8 Muscle Bike stands as a testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of pushing the limits of what's possible in the world of transportation. Whether you consider it a motorcycle, a unique hybrid, or a statement of bold innovation, there's no denying that this mechanical marvel is a remarkable addition to the ever-evolving landscape of automotive engineering.

As we continue to witness the evolution of vehicles, from compact cars to unconventional motorcycles like the Cosmos 4RW V8 Muscle Bike, it's clear that innovation knows no bounds. With engineers and designers pushing the envelope, we can only imagine what exciting and unconventional creations the future holds for us on the roads of tomorrow.

Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of the two-wheeled monster and stay alive with true safety riding. May God will forgive Your sins and so does the cops.....*** [EKA [07102023] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GEEKOLOGIE | MCS | RIDEMACHINE | COOLTHINGS ]

China's first turbine-engined supercar

When talking about supercars, then we would imagine Italy. But now China not to be outdone, a Chinese supercars named 'Techrules AT96 TREV and GT96 TREV' had just been born, though still concept cars. These supercar concepts have been appeared to the public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show 2016.

The supercars introduced by a Chinese carmaker named Techrules claimed to have an extraordinary power, ie 1,030 bhp with a torque of 8,640 Nm. Thanks to the engine power, it only takes 2.5 seconds to reach 100 km/h and having a top speed of 350 km/h (limited electronically).

These supercars implemented the technology of Turbine-Recharging Electric Vehicle (TREV) to remain environmentally friendly. The technology has been patented by Techrules where the micro-turbine generate electricity to drive the car.

As quoted from Carscoops, the turbine engine requires 0.18 liters of fuel to generate electricity capable drove as far as 100 kilometers. Under conditions of the gas tank is full, this car can go up to 2,000 km. Means, this supercar requires only 3.6 liters of petrol to travel as far as 2,000 km. But unfortunately, the company does not mention the type of fuel used by the supercar.

According to them, the presence of these concepts is the first step towards the production of China's first supercars. A prototype was reportedly already started to be tested in February at Silverstone, England.

"TREV system is the perfect combination of micro-turbines and electric vehicle technology. It is very efficient to produce very low emissions and provide the optimum charging solutions for electric vehicles," said William Jin, founder and CEO of Techrules. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARSCOOPS]
