The model will get unveiled at Wörthersee in Carinthia, Austria. During the demo, the bike’s performance and other features are expected to be discussed in detail. The bike has a 2.3 kW electric motor, accelerating 184 lb-ft. of torque to the rear wheel. The 26-inch wheels of the vehicle feature “Audi ultra blade” design. It uses a lithium-ion battery, which takes only 2.5 hours to get charged completely. The bike also allows you to change riding modes via smartphone.

This Volkswagen hover car is a concept vehicle that is used for personal transportation in the same way a modern car is employed. The German car maker challenged a few of the folks in China to submit their ideas of what the car of the future must look like. Over 11 months, more than 33 million people visited the Project’s website, with 119,000 ideas submitted. It is envisaged that the zero emission model could in the future travel along electricmagnetic road networks, for hands-free driving.

Arrinera is a British-Polish supercar that is powered by a V8 650hp engine, 0 – 60 mph in 3.2second. And the Arrinera is equipped with a thermal camera for night vision. The camera “watches” in front of the car, and if any hotter objects, like a cute little raccoon, are spotted, the image will pop up on a screen in the dash for you to see. If you might think to buy this sweet machine, it will cost you $160,060.

This custom-built robotic creation designed and built by Kenji Ishida and JS Robotics, uses 22 servo motors to transform from car to walking humanoid and back in seconds. Ishida has put together a remote controlled car that, at the touch of a button, unfolds and reshapes itself into a full-motion, colorful robot, looking to be straight out of the popular Transformers cartoon and movie series.

The Jaguar XKX is the work of Albania’s Marin Myftiu and Bahraini brother-design-team Ali and Hussain Almossawi, who, when their powers combine, form the art studio Skyrill, and is not an official Jaguar concept car. This concept tries to revive the glorious design lines of the brand, combining fresh solutions, a unique, new aerodynamics, tailored around the electrical elements of the power system as well as cutting-edge energy feedback.

Mirrors
Another characteristic feature of the Jaguar XKX are the totally disappearing side mirrors. At about 1cm thickness, the mirrors perfectly fit the shallow hatch made in the door piece when the car is stopped and they unfold again in working position when it’s turned on. This adds to both the aesthetics, and protects the side mirrors from any damages when parked.

Aerodynamics
Given a much smaller and cooler power plant than conventional, the aerodynamics was conceived in a new innovative way. The side deflector intakes of the front were made broader, so a much larger amount of air does not get stuck by the engine, instead, it flows behind the front wheels, getting out behind them and sliding along the doors and then taking another shortcut through the rear wheels and out from the big rear openings, greatly reducing the total flowing path and subsequently drag.

Regenerative Power
Almost 60% of the energy used by a typical car at highway speeds is spent to counter air friction. Obviously, that is A LOT of energy spent for a function that is indispensable, but not the primary (to push the vehicle forward). The body of the XKX is covered by a layer housing microscopic ripples of piezoelectric cells, which, stimulated by the pressure of the air flowing over them (the actual air friction experienced by the car) produce electricity that is fed back to the vehicle’s battery, increasing both efficiency and performance.

This creative solution for foul-weather-mastery comes from AD Boivin, a company better known for marketing products for powersports vehicles like motocross bikes and snowmobiles. The company says that this is the world’s first wheel-driven track system, and judging by the video available after the jump, it appears quite capable when fitted to what looks like stock GMC Sierra and Ford F-Series Super Duty 4×4 pickups blasting through the snow.

Argentinian art-car maker Raul Lemesoff drives around the streets of Buenos Aires distributing free books to all – titled “Weapon of Mass Instruction”. The Book Tank houses some 900 books on its frame. Lemesoff says he hopes his creation will “contribute to peace and understanding of people.” To that end, he makes sure to take his books through Argentina’s rural areas, where children are less likely to go to school and have access to books.
