GREEN Era During this time, the hydrogen technology is widely known uses on the car. Already many manufacturers are releasing it. Starting from the early this year, the world's automotive fans could be see the figure of hydrogen-powered motorcycle. It will coming from one of renowned Japanese motorcycle manufacturers, Suzuki.
The world's first hydrogen-powered scooter of Suzuki.(Picture from: BusinessWire)
Well, Suzuki became the world's first manufacturer to develop a hydrogen-powered motorcycle. As quoted of Hydrogen Fuel News, some time ago, the Japanese Ministry of Transport will give permission to Suzuki to conduct a serial of tests on the public roads. Those permission will be granted if the motorcycle maker company has met the specified standards
and regulations related to safety and the impact on the environment.

Forgotten ONES Maybe not many know this one German sports car. That's not only because the name is not familiar but also because it was made only one unit. Let's discuss this German one-off sports car called the Kodiak F1. As quoted of the GT Supreme, this sports car is the result of a project initiated by Mladen Mitrović with the assistance of the University of Munich.
The Kodiak F1 sports car is built by Mladen Mitrović of Speed & Sport GmbH. back in the 1983. (Picture from: RareComponentCars)
At that time it was known that Mladen Mitrović was CEO of an automotive company based in Stuttgart called Speed & Sport GmbH, which manufactures convertible roofs, and other accessory parts, and he is eager to make his dreaming gullwing doors sports car come true, inspired by the Mercedes-Benz C-111 experimental concept car.

As quoted of GT Supreme, the design of this car (perhaps the first in the world) was made with the help of an early version CAD software. So it's surprising that Mitrović later claimed it was a very modern car for its time. In short, after the design was completed, Mitrović started work on the car construction project.

The car's bodywork made of kevlar, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) in the same way that an airplane is built to ensure rigidity and lightweight. Further the bodywork is built on a tubular steel chassis frame, where the body and chassis body are bonded using epoxy. Once finished, this Kodiak F1 weighs around 1,365 kg, measures 4,340 mm in length, 1,980 mm of width and 1,120 mm height with a wheelbase of around 2,745 mm.

Although early prototypes will be powered by an 6.0-liter V8 AMG tuned engine capable to spew out power of 380 bhp, with other options available to potential customers including a Mercedes Benz V8, as well as a blue-printed 5.7-liter Chevy V8 small block, with Brodix aluminum heads and four Weber carburetors or Bosch fuel injection for about 320-340 horsepower.

Meanwhile in the finished car that could be seen today, Mitrović opted for a 5.7-liter Chevy small-block V8 engine paired to a 5-speed manual transmission from ZF to drive its rear wheels. And this Kodiak F1's engine is capable of spitting out around 300 hp at 6,500 rpm of power with a maximum torque of 460 Nm. So that the one-off German-made sportscar is able to accelerate from rest to 100 kph in 5.8 seconds and run up to a top speed of about 230 kph. It was a quite impressive performance figures then and even today.
The Kodiak F1 sports car has been equipped with a fairly modern interior with the Momo steering wheel, a black leather-wrapped dashboard that mostly contains the instrument panel centered on the driver's side. (Picture from: RareComponentCars)
On the legs are mounted star-spoke casting wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires supported by a suspension system consisting of unequal length A-Arms, Koni shock absorbers to complete its appearance as a decent and beautiful sportscar. Meanwhile, the ABS braking system of Brembo was chosen to tame the fierce engine performance.

For the cabin, this Kodiak F1 has been equipped with a fairly modern interior at that time with the Momo genuine leather-wrapped steering wheel, a black leather-wrapped dashboard that mostly contains the instrument panel centered on the driver's side and then there are a pair of wrapped racing bucket seats under peach-toned leather.

And for driving comfort, the car cabin has also been equipped with Air Conditioning (AC) besides that there is also an entertainment system consisting of a radio/tape unit with a 300 Watt audio system containing 22 speakers, which then makes it look like a luxury GT.
The Kodiak F1 sports car was shown for the first time in public at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show. (Picture from: RareComponentCars)
As time went by, unexpectedly, the potential cost of building the car continued to swell, and this was because the Kodiak F1 had to compete against the monsters of the time, such as the Porsche 959 or Ferrari F40. So that the retail price that was initially offered for $48,000 rose to $117,000 and it is certain then hampered and ruined all subsequent stages of the Kodiak F1. Finally Mitrović was forced to give up and lost hope after only 1 car was completed. Then this one and only unique car was shown for the first time in public at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show.
For your information, the Kodiak F1 is not the only sports car made by the German manufacturer that failed to shine in the past, there are still several models from other marques such as Isdera, Treser, and many others should be faced the same fate. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GT SUPREME | RARECOMPONENTCARS ]
Unique ONES In the automotive world, sometimes a concept that has a promising possibility will remain parked in the filing cabinet of an automotive company without any real-life form if there is no ability and strong will of the designers to convince the company's officials are given approvals to be a prototype model or even production versions.
This George Lawson designed Tucker Torpedo concept car was never produced, instead led to the Tucker 48 with 51 examples ever built by defunc Tucker Corporation. (Picture from: Rob Ida Concepts)
In this regard, we can take the example of a future car concept named Tucker Torpedo that was designed by George Lawson, an automotive designer who worked for the Tucker Corporation in 1946. Although actually the company founder Preston Thomas Tucker was a visionary who wanted to build a car for safety and had many innovations with modern styling.
This
George Lawson-designed Tucker Torpedo that Ida Automotive tried to put
into reality based on hand drawn rendering images, and ¼ scaled model
from the original automaker Tucker Corporation.(Picture from: Rob Ida Concepts)
Instead of realizing the concept car, Tucker Corporation actually launched the Tucker 48 during 1946 to 1949, which incidentally was designed by Alex Tremulis, is reportedly also inspired by the concept car. And the Torpedo concept itself was never actually built, only made as hand drawn rendering images on the papers, and a quarter scale model.
Once completed, a full 3D scan of the Torpedo's ¼ scale model, allowing the automaker to CNC making the car's frame (on the right) and the matched wooden-bucks (on the left) to every contours and edges of the car design.(Picture from: Rob Ida Concepts)
As you can see todays, the Tucker 48 is one of the most collectible vintage vehicles of all time. A mere 51 one of them were hand built, each just a little different from the last. Its designs had becoming the most innovative in the 1940s, and dubbed as the Car of Tomorrow that is very concerned about safety factors.
The
Tucker Torpedo concept car is built based on the custom-made steel chassis featured with rotating seats assembly in the middle, and rear engined layout. (Picture from: Rob Ida Concepts)
It was because the Tucker 48 was the first car has the features of safety belt, 'Cyclops Eye' headlight followed the road as the steering wheel turned, the windshield was made from shatter proof glass and was designed to pop out in a collision, and if the passengers had enough time before an accident, they could
shelter themselves in the 'crash chamber' just below the dash. And that's what people remember today about the Tucker 48, then what about the Torpedo concept?
The unique steering wheel system of the Tucker Torpedo allows the front fenders can be moved in any direction according to driver desired. (Picture from: Wired)
The fact, everything fell apart because this automotive company did not live long because it was involved in a complicated legal case related to the controversial stock fraud allegations in March 1949, which led to the closure of the company in early of the 1950s. Even so, it turns out that many automotive enthusiasts are curious about the George Lawson designed Torpedo concept, then tried to make it into a real form.

One of them is noted to have attempted to build a replica of the so-called Tucker Torpedo Prototype II which was based on the 1971 Buick Rivera by Roy Tucker (no relation to the company founder, Preston Tucker) back in the 1994. Related to this custom car, of course, perhaps it can't make everyone feel satisfied and invited pros and cons as well, due to this is only a replica not the original one made by Tucker Corporation.

In addition to the replicas mentioned above, it turns out that there is another attempt to bring the Tucker Torpedo concept into the real by Ida Automotive, a New Jersey-based automotive workshop owned by Bob and Rob Ida, who reportedly have the blessing of a direct descendant of Preston Tucker, the founder of the automotive company.

Bob Ida and his son, Rob Ida are the grandson and great-grandson of Joe Ida, who owned a Tucker Dealership for a very short period before the demise of the automaker. Bob and Rob Ida have decided to build a full size version of the Torpedo. Having the scale model and renderings to work from, they are putting their automotive skills to the test. Just an info, the Idas own a custom car shop and have previously rebuilt one of the few Tucker 48s and many other classic cars as well.

A complete 3D scan was done of the Torpedo's 1:4 scale model, allowing the Idas to CNC cut wood pieces that match every contour and edge of the Torpedo design. The wood components were assembled in the proper orders, allowing the duo to hand shape sheetmetal to the right specifications. "We shape each piece of metal using old-world techniques," Says Rod Ida. "English wheel and hammers." Sean Tucker, the great-grandson of Preston, is even lending a hand.

The concept car is built based on the customized steel frame chassis featured with rotating seats assembly in the middle. Besides that the Torpedo concept under construction according to the Rob Ida Concepts pages will be powered by a rear-mounted Porsche flat-6 opposed air-cooled engine and transaxle.
The Tucker Torpedo concept car's has also an advanced 360 degree disc brakes. (Picture from: Rob Ida Concepts)
So that in accordance with the initial design concept of George Lawson, the futuristic styled three-seater car of the 1940s will have a number of unique advanced features such as steerable fenders, center drive with rotating seats and 360 degree disc brakes.
The Tucker Torpedo concept car under construction will be powered by a rear-mounted Porsche flat-6 opposed air-cooled engine. (Picture from: Rob Ida Concepts)
Now after almost 10 years since it started working in 2013, this concept car has not yet been completed. There is no timeline on when the vehicle will be completed and fully operational. Bob and Rob have quite a challenge by considering they intend on following the original guidelines and vintage building techniques to complete the car.
As quoted from the Rob Ida Concepts, that stated they did not get the opportunity to complete the built and are no longer contributing to the project. It seems that something happened in the midst of working on this concept car project, so it ended the project never be completed.
Well, We could not be speculated any longer about what's really going on? We have to think positively and be patient to wait further news. All we can do now is wait until the Tucker Torpedo concept car is finished and hope it could be happened in the near future. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ROB IDA CONCEPTS | WIRED | AUTO YAHOO | STREETMUSCLEMAG | HEMMINGS | KUSTOMRAMA | GMAUTHORITY | CARSTYLING.RU ]

ONE-OFF Nothing is perfect in this world. Well, that's also how the Chevrolet Corvette, which is very famous and even labeled as one of the legendary American muscle cars, is still touted as a sports car that’s about 40 years overdue for a mid-engine layout. Whereas since the beginning this American manufacturer has been experimenting with rear-engined high-performance cars and one of them was the 1964 Chevrolet Corvette GS IIB Concept.
The 1963 Corvette V7 Twin Turbo Custom is designed and built by Harlan Motorsport Design to describe what they thought Chevrolet would make if they decided to compete with the Ferrari's, Porsche's, and Ford GT40 in the mid-1960s. (Picture from: RM Sotheby's)
Just like some of the other mid-engined Corvette prototypes previously built by the American manufacturer for decades that did not reach the production line, the Corvette GS IIB was also unable to convince General Motors (GM) top brass as worthied car to be produced. It's no wonder then there are those who's speculated, if this Corvette from the start has been powered with the engine in the back, would be one of the Ferrari-killers along with its compatriot Ford GT40 back the 1960s.
The 1963 Corvette V7 Twin Turbo Custom is said exquisitely captured the mid-engined Corvette concept idea of Zora Arkus-Duntov. (Picture from: Silodrome)
As quoted of Silodrome, indeed it isn’t widely known that Chevrolet actually approved a mid-engined Corvette for production in 1977, it was called the Aerovette and was first shown to the public in the New York Auto Show1970. Unfortunately the person who agreed to this retired in 1977 and the program was later canceled by his successor. After experiencing uncertainty for several years, it was finally approved in 1980 for production.
The 1963 Corvette V7 Twin Turbo Custom has been designed to be very similar in style to the Corvette C2 Sting Ray with the passenger compartment moved forward and positioned the engine directly in front of the rear wheels. (Picture from: Silodrome)
The Corvette that we talked about here is a kind of design study is designed and built by Harlan Motorsport Design, where the automaker wanted to describe what they thought Chevrolet would make if they decided to compete with the Ferrari's, Porsche's, and Ford GT40 in the mid-1960s. As you've seen, the car has been designed to be very similar in style to the Corvette C2Sting Raywith the passenger compartment moved forward and positioned the engine directly in front of the rear wheels.
