Batmobile Fiberglass Freaks

the arch ambassador actuality at  and the one who administratively appears already in a while in the comments - beatific me an email about a aggregation architecture clearly accountant replicas of the 1966 Batmobile up in Indiana. Naturally, we absitively that there'd be some array of adventure in there, and naturally, I had to acquisition addition who was accomplishing alike beneath than I was to appear alternating (for this trip, that'll be my friend...let's alarm him Mike).


Now, afterwards weeks of aback and alternating and addition out the timing, we're on our way to go get some sit-down time with the bodies of Fiberglass Freaks. You see, they're the bodies abaft these DC-licensed replicas, and chat is they've aloof completed addition example. That agency it's time to hit the alley with us as we arch up to Indy and above to see what it's like to body these (potentially) big-block Batmobiles.

So, why not fly? Simple: this is a car website, and to me that agency alley trip. Besides, aerial up to Indy wouldn't acquiesce us to get KFC in Kentucky or snag some cafeteria at the casinos as we hit Indiana. Get at us on the Facebook and the Twitter, and analysis aback actuality for whatever updates we can administer on our three-day voyage. Toodle-oo.
Cadillac Aera Concept LA Show 2010
Attention to the Los Angeles Auto Show is on new vehicles and concepts in ways a car in the very near future. One aspect of the show but looking further, pushing their vision of the designer to create a topic included. The Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge has taken seven years, the designers had in 2010 to a car of 1000 pounds, the stylish and performance-oriented, but was also able to take to create four passengers. GM Advanced Design Team came to the plate and with his concept was Cadillac, took first place. The podium is full are, however, because the Smart 454 also claimed a victory in the competition as the judges declared a draw.

This is the third time that GM has won this challenge by providing them with the most wins in all car manufacturers to power. The ERA concept Cadillac hit on all areas that the judges sought, and despite the futuristic style, with a few lines of Cadillac recognizable today.

The Smart 454 is a different approach to this competition, compared to the dark and dramatic. The 454 refers to the vehicle's weight in kilograms, and is described as built, or rather carbon fiber mesh Smart robot grandmother. "These robots or SGR can turn coal into complex shapes, which allows multiple forms to be created for the super-strong. The wheels are carbon fiber, which would roll for less unsprung weight and a strong platform to pull the WWT 454.

The autonomous Audi research car completed a non-stop ascent up the legendary 12.42-mile rally race route in September tests

-- Results certified by organizers of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

-- Motivation for the research is to develop technologies that could help motorists steer their way out of severe danger
HERNDON, Va., Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak research car achieved its initial goal of completing the 12.42-mile course of the world-famous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race in Colorado without stopping and without a driver behind the wheel.
The research car – jointly developed by Audi, Stanford University, the Volkswagen Group Electronics Research Lab in Palo Alto, Calif., and Oracle – conquered the challenging route up the mountain, which serves as the venue for one of the world's most thrilling rally races each June.

During September testing, the Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak drove to the 14,110-foot summit in Colorado without stopping. Organizers of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the second-oldest race in America, certified that the Autonomous Audi TTS completed the twisting course. On the last remaining dirt section, which offered the sternest test of autonomous high-speed handling, the car reached speeds of 45 mph. Five other times during the weeklong testing the car ran the complete course, only pausing briefly on its own to confirm its reading of route data.
Overall, the Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak completed the mountain course in 27 minutes, as verified by Pikes Peak International Hill Climb officials. No human rally driver has completed the course in fewer than 10 minutes, despite driving cars that produced more than 900 hp. The Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak generates 265 hp. Race officials told researchers they would expect an expert race driver on the course to finish in around 17 minutes in a car similar to the TTS.
The successful result proved that autonomous technology can handle difficult driving courses and conditions, engineers on the project said.
"By partnering with leading institutions in Silicon Valley we seek to bring innovative technologies into our vehicles and redefine what is possible," said Dr. Burkhard Huhnke, director of the Electronic Research Lab in Palo Alto, Calif., which co-developed the Autonomous Audi TTS Pikes Peak. "The goal is to improve driver safety and save lives by creating extremely robust electronics."

2011 Holden VE Series II Commodore

A fountain of tears was shed when the Pontiac G8 sedan bit 'the dust along with their parents' brand, the poncho-market Holden Commodore was one of our best races -.. Especially in its delicious appearance LS3 GXP powered with a six-speed stick as You know, Holden are now ready for export Zeta-based sedans in the U.S. as a new long-wheelbase Chevy Caprice police car, but the civilian versions are not part of the program. This brings us to the latest Scuttlebutt by Drive.com.au, after which a new export agreement for sending standard pitch Holden VE Commodore returns to the United States could be on the horizon like a Chevrolet published reports.








Drive prices of General Motors engineer Al Heiser Oppen to confirm that negotiations are taking place now, GM and a second anonymous source told the site that is a done deal. A spokesman said Holden Drive in terms of exports, the focus is currently on PPV Caprice, but added that other deals being pursued. There are good reasons for hope. The president of GM North America Mark Reuss was the head of Holden 2008 and 2009, and clearly knows how good the product.


The G8 has won much praise during his short tenure, and the lack of a legit sport sedan is a glaring gap in the otherwise comprehensive Chevy lineup. It is also important to remember that, thanks to the Pontiac G8, the majority of developing countries federalization of the Australian four-door has already been done. Probably not much to the current VE Series II sedan to get ready for an encore of the United States. Hell, if it really happened, perhaps this time GM could ute also to the introduction go. Rename the Chevy version would be a breeze after all.
